It was not really off topic, to be clear, seeing as mako presented it specifically as "you don't need to install linux you can just remove the bad parts of windows". c/libre and c/technology both are perfectly acceptable places to post about linux (see the sidebar in c/technology), and I don't think we should quarantine linux talk to just c/libre or a new c/linux.
Some people are just terminally windows brained and refuse to even consider other options. I had someone on here awhile ago tell me saying people shouldn't use Windows was victim blaming.
comparing software users to abuse victims is... a choice...
my hot take is that windows ppl are like non-vegans: Keep it to yourself and we wont have a problem,but if you start doing anti-FOSS propaganda people are going to be all over that and you shouldn't be surprised
yeah it wasn't off topic
