I use Linux because I care about privacy.

You use Linux because you want to rice.

We’re not the same.

I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

It's both.

I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

I use linux because I can make it look like Vegetable Valley from the Kirby games.

[-] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.

I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.

We are not the same. 😂

I use Linux cause I wanted to prove I can, I hate both Linux and windows for different reasons but I at least can use both!

Switched in 2002...because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.

[-] knova@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago

One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.

I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I use Linux because Docker doesn't run natively on Macs.

I don't give a shit about our relation because I have a life.

When was it not mainstream? First there was computer then Linux.

[-] hypna@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Linux is a great server OS. It's an okay desktop OS.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

To be fair there is no good desktop OS

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

I use linux because it looks better

We are not the same

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
