I do not doubt your experience, but please note that the system they switched to is not Linux. Linux is a kernel, and has no commands or user interface for them to find their way around in. The system you are thinking of is the GNU operating system, which we launched in 1984 for the sake of freedom. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html for the history of GNU and Linux.
