My guess is I’d fit u/but_my_mom_says_im_cool’s definition of a “Lemmy Linux bro”. I’m that person that responds to any post about bad behavior from Microsoft with some variation of “use Linux”.
But I won’t shame any individual for using Windows. That’s their choice.
I’m the Linux/open source/digital privacy person in my friend group. And I’m vocal enough about it that people know this, but I don’t shove it down anyone’s throat. But I will answer questions and offer suggestions when asked. And I’ve had some small successes in bringing people around in this way.
Hello dear likely reddit refugee. If you want to link to a user on the Fediverse you can use this syntax @JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org. On most clients this will turn into a clickable link and (at least on Mastodon) it will notify them that they were mentioned.
I mean if you need some specialized proprietary software they’re only runs on Windows that’s one thing but we all have some old laptops sitting around that you could throw Linux mint on and be that much closer to freedom
Yeah I use Linux but I also hate people who shame people who use windows because it does what they need.
I agree with this sentiment.

You guess right! Thanks for providing the correct syntax.
I don’t think they should be ashamed of using Windows just because it’s Windows, I think they should be ashamed for so many other reasons.
(I mostly use Windows)
