Oh hey. I made the linux part of this - Please don’t hurt me. Please don’t hurt me

I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it’s always that they use it because it’s the only thing they know

You guys have Stockholm syndrome

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

I like windows for it’s low latency ASIO drivers.

Simon ,

I’m a windows user but you want macos for that, man. If that’s what you really care about.

RedditEnjoyer ,

it’s always that they use it because it’s the only thing they know

Or they are forced to use it because of X application that only supports Windows and Wine doesn’t work well enough for it to run on Linux

Scrof ,

If Windows is good enough for John Carmack it’s good enough for me. Tried Linux as my main driver for a couple years and there were nothing but hoops, problems and endless configurations to jump through. Why do I have to learn every goddamn thing about the operating system to use it properly? It’s like washing your clothes by hand. Ever tried that? Well I had to for several months once, not fun at all. So yes I actively like Windows.

PainInTheAES ,

Alternatively you learned to jump through all of Window’s hoops over the years of using it. Also, experience in the sense of configuration and hoops can vary wildly by distro. Linux has of course not always had the cleanest UI/UX but it’s always getting better and simply does not have the level of investments as Windows or MacOS. When Linux does have investment and runs on corporate sponsored hardware it’s usually pretty solid and easy to use e.g. ChromeOS, Android, and many server and cloud products. Also some people may appreciate the level of customizability that “washing clothes by hand” provides.

I’m a Macuser since 2008. I have 3 Raspberry Pi and a tower PC running Arch (BTW)

As a matter of fact, I switched to Mac OS X because I first switched to Linux.

Linux is fantastic. It can run on $10 potato or a $B100 server infrastructure.

The only thing I find absolutely terrible is Windows. And Windows users.

Besides, Linux users known Steve Jobs died. 13 years ago.

Now TBH, what I do hate is so called Linux users complaining about macOS being closed source (macOS kernel, macOS programming language, macOS Web engine are open source) while having a dual boot on Windows “to play games and use Adobe”. Fuck those guys.

I think the issue most have with Apple is the amount of money they demand to be a part of their walled garden. That’s where the Jobs meme comes from, and nothing has changed on that front since he cratered.

$1500 for a phone that you don’t own, forsooth.

I’m not a fanboy of any operating system. I use windows because you have significantly fewer options if you use anything else as your desktop OS.

There’s ways to make windows private, and if you actually know how to use windows, it can work really well.

Just because you know what the buttons do doesn’t mean you know how to use a computer.

Sixth0795 OP ,

Its true but your statement about fewer options is kinda wrong and making it private takes too much effort and it can never be close to Linux

EmperorHenry ,
@EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

never as easy as linux and no it’s not complicated. There’s plenty of tools that allow you to make windows private

Sixth0795 OP ,

Doesn’t it defeats the point of being easy to use

Goblin_Mode ,

I’m a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.

My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.

I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.

It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL

I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience

Staring at a mouse, wondering how you do things with one button.

That is surprisingly accurate.

I mean it essentially boils down to “thing I don’t use is bad”.

friend_of_satan ,

I don’t see that message in the image. Also, having used all three platforms for over 20 years, I feel like what I see in the image pretty accurately describes what a lot of the enthusiasts I’ve known in each camp describe about themselves and the others.

cmbabul ,

As someone else who uses all three on a weekly if not daily basis, the only one I disagree with is the Windows row, because i honestly have never met someone in person who I would describe as a fan of Windows, just folks that understand how to utilize it well. But even they shit talk it and Microsoft regularly

Wait… can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.

Shareni ,

That’s because their monitors cost $2k

You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.

Ensign_Crab ,

For one, it’s got Steve Jobs in it, and he’s been dead since 2011.

person ,

If I were to make the same meme today, I would still use him, so I’m not sure this dating method holds any water.

neidu2 ,

I think that’s the right choice. If i need to imagine “apple boss” the face of jobs appear in my mind. The current one is Tim Cook, right? I’m sure I’d recognize him if I saw his picture, but at the miment I’m not able to picture him.

Did he always dress like Steve Jobs? I mean, I do too, but it feels creepy

I’m sure his wardrobe is carefully curated by a committee to sell more phones.

Recognizing Tim Cook is easy, he’s the puckered hole between two flabby buttcheeks.

I’ve no idea. I’ve made probably 50 jokes about “the ghost of Steve Jobs” in the last decade

i knew he was the founder of Apple but that’s where I was out of fucks to give

Oh, well you may be interested to know he died because he attempted to cure cancer by eating nothing but fruit

Nah just fruitarianism

I feel the Linux - Linux fanboy is very wrong these days. It does not have a monitor at 22 degrees

If you show me a windows fanboy I’ll show you a bridge for sale.

    I disagree. They might not go out of their way to recommend windows but when any other alternative is mentioned they 100% start arguing.

    I’ve seen people on r/programming complain that they hated linux and open source cause it gave them a way to use a feature in vlc that wasn’t there natively. The other day I saw someone complaining that linux had window rules.

    I doubt those issues, like the mic not working, are worth having ads in the start menu, candy crush being installed automatically at various times without user consent or being dropped from updates like a hot potato after a few years, even though the hardware is still okayish.

    Apropos hardware: Windows is slow AF. It always runs dozens of silly services that waste resources. Now some Linux distros run a lot too (like cups when you don’t have a printer), but for some reason Linux doesn’t eat RAM for breakfast.
