    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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

      So where do those of us who don’t think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

            Microsoft just recently implemented a screenshot spyware on your computer and an AI with the widest attack surface for hackers ever on your OS and mixed it into your most basic tool, the file explorer, then blocked off a quarter of all users for using 2-5 year old hardware, instead of implementing software fixes to avoid hardware vulnerabilities.

            It then forced you to use a closed source hardware component that likely has a backdoor, to store all your encryption keys, required you to make a Microsoft account just to use your PC, and then use that account to spy on your every move both online and offline. It is a privacy nightmare.

            It then keeps overriding your default settings to make you to use Microsoft products over other ones, and have started baking in ads into various menues.

            If you still don’t think that makes it the worst OS, you’re obviously coping. I have used Linux, Windows, and Mac, and out of those three, Windows is at the very bottom.

      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.
