There is definitely an overlap but I think Linux users are more like vegetarians, they cut out the commercial OS from their diet and are content with that. FOSS people are more like militant vegans … they won’t be happy unless everyone else has to use the shitty software they do.
“Shitty software”??? Basically most of non-FOSS software is shitty. Its not because we want to use shitty software, but we better use shitty software that gets better overtime, than shitty software that only gets worse. Also why everyone else has to use it?? Idgaf what you use, but I’m only angry, when you decide to pay for shit software, instead of donating the better and more free software, thats the only thing that makes me angry about people.
Just a year or two ago I would’ve said that i don’t even understand why linux exists. Now i’d rather say that windows should stop being a thing asap, as it brings nothing but problems and stagnation to consumer electronics, and nawadays it goes the same for any major proprietary software piece.
What can i say, i hope the era of corpos is nearing its end, and we’re the witnesses

I feel like you’ve never had to deal with proprietary bullshit.

what do you think veganism is?
remon@ani.social 1 day ago
Mostly self-righteous virtue-signal.
mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
But veganism isn’t widely accepted as a virtue, so who are we supposedly signaling to by being combative?

Oh, I totally agree with that. I like Linux/FOSS.
It’s the people that post about it online that are insufferable.
CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
currently
we’re the people
or at least i am :D
also, how would others know about all that cool free stuff that i found, that’s actually cooler that the paid one 🥺🥺🥺
foss doest have any marketing budgets, so of course foss users would blabber about it all over the place.
so, like, seriously, what’s the alternative here?

Have you been on Lemmy, sir?
Using FOSS is like the first step towards using the FOSS OS.

Yeah, but I blocked all 372 linux communities.
