Its a hard balance to strike but suggesting linux does actually add something. Linux does not have a marketing team. People need to find out linux is an alternative somehow.
Yeah, the original post gives a false dichotomy. It’s possible to sincerely let someone vent about Windows/iOS and also suggest Linux tactfully.
Responding “use Linux noob” on every post isn’t helpful. But chatting with a coworker and hearing them out, then sharing about your own experience (“yeah, I finally got so fed up I tried Linux. Turns out it was super easy and I’m glad I switched!”) is helpful and adding something.

Just lead by example. Use Linux silently right in front of them, in public even. Make lingering eye contact as necessary.
