  Curious, I’ve seen it all over lemmy. I’ve got a couple different accounts for… reasons, and on one I tried to make the point that for some demographics, like my parents/grandparents, Windows is the best OS. I was immediately berated for MANY reasons including, being a failure for not educating my family, not caring about my family’s safety, personally signing them up for the FasTrack to identity theft and scammers, and that Linux is ACTuaLLY simpler and easier to use.

  This is pretty tame compared to the piracy guys as well.

    Yeah you’re pretty much objectively wrong there. With OSX you could’ve had a point but Windows is a nightmare if you have to administer a box for family.

    …don’t tell me your parents and grandparents absolutely have to use 3ds Max. And if they were using AutoCAD I very much doubt you’d have to administer the machine.

      How do you literally, literally run head-first into the point and still miss it?

        I didn’t miss it. It’s rule 386.

      What’s the 3dsmax bit from ?

        It’s random software that indeed only runs on Windows. There’s not even a Mac version.

        …but it’s also software that people generally don’t use privately, and for which FLOSS alternatives exist (Blender), arguably better software and because free also used by hobbyists, and even more insanely powerful commercial software that also runs on Linux (Houdini). Frankly speaking I’m surprised that a DOS 3d software package even made it into currentyear with all that IRIX competition.

  Same here — at least all of the communities I’ve interacted with

  Same here. Maybe I’ve found a nice echo chamber to inhabit. Back when I was mostly using Lemmy.World I saw a lot of weirdos, but for some reason migrating to a different instance seems to have solved that problem. Maybe OP just needs to find an instance that works for them.
