The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

A guy kept arguing Linux sucked because no games work on it and especially not Black Desert Online. Here's the kicker: this argument took place in the BDO chat, while I and another poor soul were playing (and chatting) from Linux. I even made a tutorial on YouTube on how to play the game on Linux, he still didn't believe I was playing on Linux because "it's simply impossible".
