    Frankly, I don’t have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it’s preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don’t have a desire to care.

      I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

      Second.

      That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

        On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).

        I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.

      Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There’s always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they’re about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.

      I think the biggest problem is the fact that it is a three-pronged Choice.

      Where two of them are fighting each other to become the biggest dumpster fire and the last one is just trying to function.

      Its like the American political system. 😂

      Considering the mod will ban you for expressing literally the same sentiment as the OP and was posting multiple time daily, I think they are.

    I don’t care that Linux is talked about here. It’s just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It’s just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.

      Does that really happen though? Maybe I just don’t notice it.

      I guess it comes up in any thread about windows, in the same way a post about “google chrome adds whatever anti-feature” is going to have comments saying “firefox is way better”.

    Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.

    I actually don’t know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.

    It’s true that were total sluts aren’t we?

    We’re never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn’t satisfy us no more.

      You must not browse All much then. There’s a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn’t very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

        Ah maybe I blocked them a long time ago because I haven’t seen it. What’s not to like about Linux?? I don’t even use Linux but I find the memes and posts funny.

    More like kinky sex slaves … they’re all either cheap or work for free.

    They’ll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they’ll never leave you alone because it’s their kink and it turns them on.
