I think you are being blinded by your hatred for Macs. There are
things it does better than Linux, and vice versa.

It's not ridiculous. Most people don't know that free/libre exists.
It's our job to educate them. And we have to take into account
what software people use. I think in most cases, they only need
an office suite, mail, browsing and IM. If so, Linux is a very
good alternative. If they are using, say, Photoshop otoh, Linux is
not such a good alternative, despite of Gimp.
