Nobody told that.

But using only Linux because it is "common" for
uninformed people is simplistic ; as we say in French :
« l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions »
« the road to hell is paved with good intentions »

Furthermore someone (like me and some others perhaps ) can be
interesting in « popular education » (éducation populaire)  and
relations between free software, free sciences free...
Oversimplification of the word is always oversimplifaction of the
concept. Even if it seems to be easier I see that as a fault.
