Rubbish.
Linux is a general-purpose OS. Whilst that does not preclude tinkerers
from getting their fill of whatever makes their day, the vast majority of
Linux users are not tinkerers. They just use it - often without even
knowing they are using Free software.

That's called "lying", and it's something many of us prefer not to do. And
nor do we need to - with FOSS, we can say "if you want it, I can make it
happen".
