Windows user here. I don't have a fear of BSODs.

On the other hand, I have "Linux users are elitist jerks" syndrome, which stops me from switching to Linux, due to a fear of Linux users might be elitist jerks. This can be only cured by massive improvements to the Linux community, and a debugger that has an actual GUI for Linux (no, I don't care about whatever cute little script you've written for GDB for a semi-automated testsuite for command line utility that converts one obscure format into another).

"Linux users are elitist jerks"

Elitist jerks are elitist jerks. Ever talked to a stuck-up Windows I.T admin? The constant scoffing is unreal.

What about people rich (or financially goofy) enough to obsess with Apple products?

I think most community people regardless of OS just wanna be helpful and enthusiastic. (I like the word "enthusiast" haha) You'll always find elitists around topics that involve learning skills and mastery.

I dunno, I'm just happy sometimes people care here when I enthusiastically ramble to them about all their Linux-y choices they can solve problems with lol. We're not all like that.

Jerks just stick out more. Don't let them tint your opinion of an entire community. I managed to even enjoy ranked League of Legends for a short while because I didn't assume everyone was out to attack my ego with theirs.

Hope you have an awesome one and let us know if we can help you with anything. :)
