Linux users are the vegans of the computer world

Windows user: I use Windows! It’s the best!

Apple user: I use OS X! It’s the best!

Windows and Apple users: Which do you use?

Linux user: Linux.

Windows and Apple users: OMG shut up, nobody asked!

Windows user: I use Windows! It’s the best!

No not really no. This doesn’t happen. Not even remotely close to as often as Linux users say Linux

I’m not even saying Linux users should say it less, I’m fine with whatever, it’s just that this isn’t true at all

This happened with XP, 7, and 8.1. 10 wasn’t bad either at first, but they’ve gradually enshitified it. 10 now and 11 are spyware masquerading as an OS.

As a Linux user (who uses Arch btw), most Linux users at least care about what OS they use. To everyone else, they just wanna get work done and aren’t just having conversations about what they’re running. It’s a computer, not their personality.

You’d see that a lot on Reddit, on subs like r/pcmr or r/gaming. But not much of that here, presumably because Lemmy has a higher ratio of FOSS-friendly folks.

As a Windows user, just keep your Apple away from me. I can’t do shit with it. My wife stepped away while we were zooming with someone the other day, and the Mac got pulled to another desktop (or something). I had no clue what to do. Apparently, it’s a three-finger swipe on the trackpad, because of course it’s a three-finger swipe.

Workspace switching is also a three finger swipe on windows 10

Then maybe it’s just that I don’t have a clue what I’m doing on laptops these days.

This kids a prick that says shit for attention. don’t feed them. (The original post, not the person I’m replying to)

Kiddo thought I was “flexing” because I don’t really watch much mainstream media, lol. Dude obviously has issues.

I mean, next year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop.

I would wait until Windows 10 is out of support (2025).

Aatube , 10 months ago

It'd only be out of support by then if they don't release new updates. Not to mention the versions with longer life.

Literally hear more people shitting on vegans than vegans actually talking about it
