Arguably, the other stalls are all paywalled. So no, you can’t just walk away from Linux.
Linux will be eventually
I mean this goes both ways. Someone asks for help diagnosing an issue in windows and inevitably some snarky Linux user feels compelled to say something unhelpful.
Inevitably?
My friend, the MAJORITY of the comments will be unhelpful Linux snarks.
This wouldn’t be a problem if you used Linux.
Sounds pretty inevitable to me.
Yeah as a huge linux fan we gotta be honest with ourselves 😅 we’re kinda fuckin insufferable at times
I think a lot of the technical folks who built the space made interpersonal skills kind of a dump stat- and to be fair, I benefit enormously from the technical ability they have in exchange for that lack of social skill. But it does define the culture of Foss spaces in a bunch of ways that aren’t the greatest 😅
It’s odd to me to be a fan of an OS. It’s the nuts and bolts needed to make a computer do things I actually care about.
I’m a fan of it for the way that it treats me with respect and represents the possibility of technology that isnt extractive and abusive. And as a ui nerd there is an element of the computing foundation that is exciting to me in and of itself :) I love seeing the different ui paradigms of different desktop environments and how they solve problems like making multitasking work well for users
But that just how I relate to it, it’s totally valid for the computer or os to be more of a means to an end for people :)
It’s because Linux is just objectively better.
That didn’t take long.
Thank you for proving my point.
I feel like this is specifically targeted at the one user posting stuff on the linuxsucks community
It has to be rage bait. It’s too funny not to be
It’s hilarious and the older ones especially are riddled with references you’d find in the linuxmemes comm
He did try, years ago, to post cynical but inoffensive memes. I’m pretty sure I had to suspend his account at some point. He’s also gotten himself banned from political communities for quoting holocaust deniers, using ableist slurs, and generally being a wanker. He’s also posted some antisemitic remarks on other communities. The modlog his quite colorful.
Does he also think number generators are the words of God and is working to build his own OS from scratch?
Oh shit, madthumbs is back? He’s always been a hilarious, but equally pathetic troll. I thought we’d lost him when he got all pissy and locked the community a year ago.
Wait, so he’s been at it for years now?
I’ve had his posts in my feed somewhat recently and I was kind of in awe of dude’s dedication to do full time posting on topic of Linux users having no life, but had no idea he’s been doing it for so long now. 🌚
If your whole identity, personality, community or social group is based on hating something then you should reevaluate how you spend your time. This is only marginally worse than making your whole personality being a fanboy for a specific brand/product. Things are there to help you do stuff, so get on and do that stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does this actually happen, or is this an argument someone had in their head?
On Lemmy…it happens more in reverse.
Example:
That’s in the Windows11 community.
Yeah, that’s the smugposting we know and expect.
Seen it happen both ways.
Unrealistic to believe the guy at the Linux stall would not come at him like John Constantine pulling out a demonic possession.
But but but Linux is not user friendly or something! You can totally generalize like that!!! And nevermind the fact that windows often breaks in ways that require technical knowledge to repair. That doesn’t count for some reason!!!
Every post on the fediverse is specifically directed at me, therefore I must respond when someone has the audacity to mention something I don’t like.
Do you like pineapple upside-down cake?
This is a bit rich coming from the Linux community.
Stall owner proceeds to share their opinion about Windows and Microsoft in general.
Windoew guy starts foaming at the mouth and shouting incoherently.
