You Linux supremecists are so edgy...
I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.
We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.
I only have Linux on my servers at home and at work, as well as on my laptop, and I agree with that, it's arrogant and getting so damn old. Lemmy has such a boner for Linux and loves shoving it in everyone's faces.
You do realize that Lemmy is an opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are passionate about Linux? Does it really come as surprise that Lemmy is full of Linux enthusiasts?
If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary social network instead, maybe one with a red alien logo or with a blue 'f'...
Being an enthusiast doesn't mean you have to preach about it everywhere you go. This post isn't talking about Linux whatsoever. They're starting to remind me of religious nuts that always make everything about their religion.
But its not the same person preaching about it everywhere now is it? If you think you're seeing it everywhere, it's because this is a community built and run by Linux enthusiasts, so naturally you'll see a lot of people talking about Linux here.
This post isn't talking about Linux whatsoever.
No, but OP was talking an alternative solution, which of course, was tongue-in-cheek, but apparently it triggered the parent poster in a PTSD sort of manner.
It's not the same religious nut preaching about it everywhere, either, doesn't make it any less annoying. It also doesn't make it any less annoying to be preached everyday even if you live in a community based around the religion.
It's also not about people talking about Linux. As a subscriber to Linux memes and Linux gaming communities, I have no issue with people talking about Linux. It's when they are plugging Linux in an article that has nothing to do with it, especially in a community that is very aware about the existence of Linux, that it simply becomes a circlejerk and an attention seeking behaviour, instead of providing actually useful response to the post.
Everyone here knows Linux is an alternative to Windows, we don't need the crazy Linux fanboys reminding us by posting stupid jokes about it on non-Linux posts.
your platform.

I don't get why you're offended by someone jokingly pushing Linux?
To be fair, there are so many opportunities to make these jokes because of how Microsoft behaves that maybe that's the real issue here?
It doesn't look like they're getting offended to me.
Imagine you have a friend that you see daily. Every time you see them, they make the same joke. How quickly do you think you'll get tired of the joke?
Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!
Stop driving into things, Jerry, and we'll stop making jokes about how you hit them!
People like you make me so fucking embarrassed to be a Linux user.
Because Linux, by its very nature, is the solution to these kinds problems, but if you insist on suffering through using Windows thats on you.
Last time I used Linux it came with its own bag of problems like hunting down drivers and incompatibility issues and random bugs that wouldn't let me use the wifi without digging up solutions in some obscure forum. Maybe it's not the case anymore but I don't hear many people lauding it for its competitive UX and ease of use.
GNOME's UX has come a looong way in just like 3 years.
I assume the same is true for KDE now that Valve is investing money in it.
I hope so! Nothing against Linux but it did feel a bit like a raw steak at times 😅
I understand how it can feel that way when you are not used to Linux. I felt the same way in the beggining when I was learning it.
Huh, my experience is the exact opposite. On Linux there was zero hunting for drivers of any kind. At all. They were all just included in the Linux kernel. Out of the box drivers for everything I had.
On windows it was: ok first I need my motherboard chipset driver, now I need my WiFi driver, and now my graphics driver, now the driver for this microphone, and finally the driver for this controller.
Each of which I had to search online for the right website, download an installer, run an installer, and delete the installer afterwards.
To me, that was a much more clunky experience.
So you're claiming that all of Lemmy is a Linux only community?
When did I say that? I implied it's only natural for there to be a lot of Linux enthusiasts, in a community built and run by Linux enthusiasts. So it shouldn't come as a surprise seeing these sort of posts everywhere.
You food supremecists are so edgy...
I eat food sometimes, too... But like... This is getting so old.
We get it, you like food. Now let people talk about eating human shit without constantly talking about what you put in your mouth.
We just want to eat human shit in peace. Stop telling us there’s a better way, we get it, you don’t like human shit and you think we should be eating food instead. Stop preaching about it.
Another fosstard
Honestly, your bitching was far more intrusive than this unharmful joke. That joke was actually funny.
You're either being intellectually disingenuous, or you're new to Lemmy. Every goddamn thread about Windows here ends up littered with "jokes" about how great Linux is, and how shitty Windows is.
It's beyond exhausting at this point.
And the goddamn distros can’t even support a fingerprint reader nor a nvidia card, or forces you to do some terminal voodoo to make the thing work, or crashes without warning after an update.
But somehow that’s better than Windows. -_-
to be fair its not Linux that doesnt support nvidia, its the other way around.
and it works fine if you dont have more specific use cases.
It's Nvidia that has poor support for some standards, not the other way around.
And it's not like people don't run into issues, probably more often, with Windows update. The last time I updated Windows my audio got fucked and even rolling back the update and reinstalling audio drivers didn't work. I had to reinstall windows entirely, which takes a bizarrely long time.
And yeah, IMO, it's far better than Windows, and it's not even close. But it's just a tool. Use Windows if you want to use Windows.
Windows fanboys will justify anything just because it locks them in and forces them to use it. People with stockholm syndrone justifying terrible anti-consumer decisions by Microsoft are the ones really exhausting me.
Use it if you want to, or need to, but don't be mad at the people actually trying to come up with and improve the solutions we have.
I just want a PC that works and linux ain't it hun
Funny, this is my main gripe with Windows. It doesn't just work in the same way Linux does. I get an update, it takes 5-25 seconds and everything still works, every time.
I get a Windows update and I'm filled with dread crossing my fingers everything still works when it finally reboots, and that it hasn't "accidentally" reset all the telemetry settings I turned off.
Plus not having to hunt for drivers and use weird installers for software that I have to hunt for online. Some windows listening to my dark mode preference and others not, etc etc.
To me, my PC is just a tool. I don't care what runs on it, as long as it works reliably, is intuitive, looks cohesive, and doesn't get in my way. Windows unfortunately doesn't hold up to that.
Again with the WU psychosis, get new material
Have you considered that the reason people complain about Windows Update is because Windows Update is frustrating to use? Or is that too complex a thought?
Even people who have zero intention of ever switching generally find updates on windows far more frustrating than they do on say iOS or Android.
Because Windows Update is frustrating to use.
Honestly the lengths people will go to to simp for their $2.75tn buddy is hilarious. We're saying Windows update is good now?
Except I've never had problems with it, they only seem to affect insufferable linux shills
Linux shills lmao, as if, idk, Linus Torvalds or some sinister chubby penguin mascot is paying people off...
I think you're paranoid
I have experienced issues with Windows update. Many times. I've even had bricked hardware from it. And they're well documented.
I trust my eyes and all the reporting a hell of a lot more than some random salty Microsoft shill online lol
Too bad?
Was half-expecting Rick Astley ngl
Beat me to it!
