Yes, I would.
Why do you think this operating system even exists in the first place?
Because of people who just run whatever garbage proprietary software
that's out there because "hey, it makes our games go faster"? Duh.

IMHO, this mindset is the result of people not truly understanding why
we say, "free as in free speech, not free as in free beer." The
reason some people are using Linux is for the "beer" aspect... and
they just ignore how we came to even have Linux in the first place.
