    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.

      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.

        You know, I did it. I finally took the leap, ditched Windows, and installed Linux Mint. And honestly? I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner. I mean, who knew freedom from updates that hijack your work in the middle of a call could feel this good? It’s like discovering this secret, ultra-customizable paradise where I’m the one in control.

        And the best part? It was way easier than I expected. No complicated coding, no hidden hoops—just a few clicks, a couple of quick installs, and bam: a smooth, speedy system that’s totally mine. I feel like Neo breaking free from the Matrix! Now I just want to shout it from the rooftops, like, why isn’t everyone doing this? Windows users could be liberated! Free from the reign of random reboots and endless notifications.

        I’m telling you, if you’re still on Windows, come on over to the Mint side. We have stability, speed, and a whole lot of satisfaction. The world needs to know!

    I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don’t like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That’s just obnoxious and exhausting.

    I don’t come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users…I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.

    How is that too many Linux users???

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like “ACTUALLY IT’S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!”

    Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can’t turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.

    …and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it’s core concepts and user culture.

    Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!

    …but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!

      Maybe because jeans wearers don’t spam up every thread about clothing with “JUST WEAR JEANS!”

    Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

    When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is “windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit” linux users are going to reply with “use Linux”.

    It’s like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

      That is so not the experience of most of us who just don’t give a fuck about what OS other people use. I love my Mac but I have no desire to talk about my OS like it’s a hobby any more than I talk about the kind of car I drive.

      I had to block linuxmemes because it was so spammy. I’m about to do the same to Linuxsucks as well.

      But for the record Linux users are the CrossFit/vegans of the tech world. We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

        I care. I like hearing about it. Even when you make the wrong choice.

        I feel that. I like Linux, but I also like using the right tool for the job, and sometimes that’s actually Windows. The rates of Linux talk here reminds me of Reddit like 15 years ago. It’s nice, but also I forgot how weird it is to be in such a Linuxy echochamber

      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.
