Just as much a power play as expecting free tech support from family for your corporate OS.
The Linux user only has as much power to apply pressure for the switch as they are given through requests for free tech support.
mas.toHedders (@hedders@mas.to)Unpopular opinion: Pressuring / "convincing" non-technical family members into using Linux is bad behaviour. It means that family member is now beholden to you. They almost certainly don't know anyone else who knows anything about Linux, so when they have problems - and they WILL have problems - you are the only person they can turn to. You are giving yourself power over them, essentially for the sake of your own vanity.
@LovesTha My partner uses linux after receiving advice from a friend to "use the OS that your tech support person is willing to support"
I had made it pretty clear that I was unwilling to support a different OS.
They chose to get an iphone the same as our child's, and that is the direction their phone tech support comes from :)
