  Yes, go to the linuxsucks community. Seems like one guy spends all his time making anti-linux propaganda. If you point out the misinformation portions he bans you.

    The idea of that is actually quite funny. A grown up who is actually that petty unironically.

    That’s dumb. It’s a fucking computer. If you’re able to use it, who cares. If people use a different system who fucking cares? It doesn’t affect anyone but yourself.

      Microsoft and Apple are steering the computing space in a very anti-consumer space. So for many people, it is more than just an OS, but an ethical statement.

      The less people use Windows and MacOS, the less sway they have in the computing space.

        So Linux is just computer hipsterism?

  I do sometimes feel bad for MS Windows users. I rarely “hate on” them, but that largely depends on their reaction my inability / unwillingness to use the communication/collaboration tools and data formats they are used to.

    Why? They use a different product than you do. How does that affect you in any way?

      Usually it’s because we have a mutual desire to communicate, collaborate, or exchange data.

      When it doesn’t affect me, I generally don’t think about it, and I certainly don’t “hate on” them.

  Yes, go to the Linuxmemes community. Seems like tons of users there keep making Windows memes that have nothing to do with Linux, because they can’t handle how popular Windows is. If you point out the misinformation, or even show any love for Windows, you get downvoted to hell if not outright banned.

    I just don’t get it. I don’t judge people based on their fucking phone. It makes no sense to care about what computer people use.
