  Most of the Linux communities are the same.

  often the content isn’t even related to Linux it’s just tirades of anger against corporations. Doesn’t even have to be Microsoft, any commercial that dares make any move in the Linux space - Canonical, red hat, oracle get derided.

    “Proposers of a piece of free and open source software, an ideology created by an anarchist-socialist software engineer, tend to lean left on the political spectrum. More news at 11…”

      Not to forget this is Lemmy which has a development leadership so left leaning that the CIA are likely already working to destabilise it.

    To be fair, Oracle seems to be ridiculed by everyone.

  Yeah, but, DAE LE WINDASS WINDOWNS BAD??! LOL LE MICRO SHIT USERS LOLOLOL XD XD EGGS DEE MI$RO$OFT IS BIL GAETS DIK JOKE. Seems perfectly welcoming to me, especially the heavy insinuation that absolutely everything is PEBKAC, even if you're on a fresh install of something allegedly intended for mainstream - following verbatim, explicitly appropriate instructions. If you're really lucky, someone might deign to link you an LMGTFY.

  This stuff truly has helped make Desktop Linux a force to be reckoned with over the years. So much so that Year of Desktop Linux has been... pretty much every year of the past 20, I think.

  On Windows, we all know it's spackled together shit with shoe strings, spit and duct tape - probably still involving some tech out of the 70s-80s or at least tech debt from back then. We tend to not pretend it's flawless because no software is.

  People install obviously shit software and then whine on the Internet about how shit the software is they chose.

  You cry about how people point out how it’s obviously their own fault entirely.

  I’m pretty sure I’m not the most insufferable twat in this thread. Not even close.

    Yup, you are the insufferrable twat. You just keep proving their point. Just move on, life isn’t about “winning” imaginary internet discussions.

      Discussion? You think this is a discussion? You might want to freshen up on the definition of discussion, my friend. Neither you nor the other guy even have made a single point yet. None of you even tried to prove to me that I am wrong. All you have done until now is throwing insults at me. Please keep doing that. Please keep not proving me wrong.

      • Maalus@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yup, a completely insufferrable twat.

    You may not even want to hear it because you’re obviously so far up your own ass that you wouldn’t be able to but:

    • Most computers ship with Windows installed, maybe they didn’t “choose” anything

    • There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

    • People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”

      They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.

      There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

      You misunderstand. I’m not saying don’t use Windows. I’m saying don’t use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can’t help you.

      People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”

      People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they’re always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like it wasn’t the consequences of their own choices.

        You keep talking about choice even though there isn’t one for many people. And why wouldn’t they be allowed to whine about it? To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.

        Your initial comment was not only incredibly condescending and presumptuous but doesn’t help anyone. And it’s also absolutely the last thing people wanna hear who keep getting invaded like that by MS all the time. So you kinda deserve the backlash, sorry you don’t see that.

    As someone who just wandered into this thread - yes, you are by far the most insufferable poster on this thread so far. Worse than many other vegetarians in fact.

      Vegetarians? Are you sure you’re doing alright? This is a discussion about software, not beef and lettuce, buddy.

  Yeah, if you want people to try switching you need to understand their use case and nicely explain the pros and cons. Being a dick about it just makes people think it’s some elitist club for computer nerds instead of a tool they may find useful
