I know someone who 100% knows what an OS is, is intimately familiar with the Windows command line (or at least knew what he was doing with DOS back in the old days), and talks a big game about privacy and security, but good lord does he insist that Windows is the only PC OS there is that works. It's not worth the argument. I pretend to be utterly useless at computers when in his presence to avoid having unproductive arguments.
