Welp. Certainly can’t argue with any of that. I’ve said the same thing myself on many of your points.

Let me get this straight. When you think of the “linux experience”, you think of refridgerators, air fryers, and vacumes. Your words. That’s your mental image of Linux.
While at the same time discrediting the desktop experience as “a tiny specific section of computer hardware”.
Now personally, I think Android SHOULD be counted as Linux. I’ve even asked why there isn’t a Linux distro that’s just Android for the PC. However, whenever I ask that question, instead of anyone answering legitimately, I get told that’s not what Linux is.
And the sad thing is, I think that would BLOSSOM the Linux userbase on PC. The power supply on my PC died a month ago, and before I found a bandaid solution, I was using my phone in dex mode for two weeks. It was a flawed but decent experience. The type of experience that would be a lot better if it were more common. But it’s not. People just don’t use their phones as PC replacements like I did for 2 weeks.
So me reading your reply, it’s obvious to me that everything you’re saying is a strawman arguement. What’s not obvious is if YOU realize how much of a strawmans arguement it is.
Seriously. You used air conditioners to justify numbers of Linux marketshare. Hang on. I gotta do some photo editing. Let me go grab the dehumidifier and run GIMP on it!

Dammit! I’m hoping for another meteor to cause a 3rd ice age, and wipe out all life on earth.
But I’ll settle for nuke going off in my back yard. Now you take even THAT hope away!
Is it so wrong to just want Earth to end??? It’s all I want! Such a simple request! Human extinction. Is that so wrong?

I’ve always heard it as “topping from the bottom”
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 14 hours ago:
Um…when it comes to desktop OS’s, they ARE the top, and always have been.
And even if you remove windows entirely, Apple becomes number one. Not Linux.
Last I checked, the highest Linux as a desktop usershare ever got was something pathetically small like 5%
And the reason for this is Linux developers design their OS as if the user knows what they’re doing.
Windows designs their OS as if the user is clueless.
So users who know how to use their computer, use Linux. And idiots use Windows. Well it turns out the world is full of idiots.
I tried explaining how to install a program in terminal to someone who’s never touched linux.
“sudo apt install program”
And her response was “ooooh, no no no no no! That’s too much for all that! Ain’t nobody got time fo’ all dat!”
I have no idea which OS she’s using these days. Haven’t talked to her in years.
But if I had to bet my life savings, I’d bet she’s still never touched Linux.
I’ve said it a million times. The year of linux will come 5 years AFTER a distro is released which not only holds the users hand, but handcuffs it. Does EVERYTHING for the user, so the user never ever ever ever has to even know how to do anything. Update a driver? They don’t even know how to do it in windows! You think they’re going to try their hand at updating kernals and such in Linux?

I mean…yes?
I get that this is supposed to be a joke, but, I don’t get the joke. This is literally how weight loss works.
Eat less.
Eat healthier.
Exercise.
Weight loss is hard because it’s hard to stick to it. But the concepts aren’t complicated. Caleries in minus caleries burned equals caleries stored as fat.
Less caleries means less unburned caleries means less fat.

I’m pretty sure I almost bought those years ago. Instead I bought the Seinheiser PXC 550. This was 2018. I’ve had to replace the ear padding once. Which was super easy. They just unclip, and the new ones clip right in.

My phone can handle 99 tabs. At all times 99 tabs are open. At any given time at least 70 of those tabs are Lemmy.World home page with me already signed in.
Yet every time I open a new tab and type Lemmy.World. At least 1 in 20 times I type Lemmy.Worlf.

- Comment on Candy cigarettes are illegal because they encourage kids to smoke 1 day ago:
Ha ha ha, yeah. Not like when I was a kid in the 80s, and everybody smoked. Walls were just brown.
Just…all walls.
So glad that as generations went on, smoking habits have seemed to fall off a cliff.
Instead, we let 11 year olds order vapes from china now.
Wait, what?
- Comment on nothing really matters 1 day ago:
I’m in the process of buying a new house. So I was looking at one last week, and the smoke detector just kept chirping.
And I was just about to say “Did you know there’s actually two types of these?”
And just as I was about to say that, I got sad in realizing that I’d then be obligated to elaborate, and now I’m spending 45 minutes talking about a topic that neither of us wants being discussed right now.
But it was in my head at that moment.

Illegal where? I have to go to a novelty candy store in my area, because it’s the only place I can think of that sells them…but it’s legal here.

This reminds me pf a great pickup line. It only works on someone you already know.
You tell her “We’d be a great couple. Like Kermit and Miss Piggy!”
“Am I Miss Piggy in this?”
“What? No. You’re obviously Kermit because you’re smart and lanky, and I’m Miss Piggy because I’m a natural star.”
