In the phrase "they think they're" you've got a problem. The
word "they" is used twice and it's not clear whether it refers
to "Linux people" or "others". I used to teach English, but that was
over a decade ago, so I can't remember, but I think it would be
expressed as a pronoun without a clear antecedent.
