Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.
Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!
Second.
That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it's a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.
You know, I did it. I finally took the leap, ditched Windows, and installed Linux Mint. And honestly? I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner. I mean, who knew freedom from updates that hijack your work in the middle of a call could feel this good? It’s like discovering this secret, ultra-customizable paradise where I’m the one in control.
And the best part? It was way easier than I expected. No complicated coding, no hidden hoops—just a few clicks, a couple of quick installs, and bam: a smooth, speedy system that’s totally mine. I feel like Neo breaking free from the Matrix! Now I just want to shout it from the rooftops, like, why isn’t everyone doing this? Windows users could be liberated! Free from the reign of random reboots and endless notifications.
I’m telling you, if you’re still on Windows, come on over to the Mint side. We have stability, speed, and a whole lot of satisfaction. The world needs to know!
Aw shit, here we go again...
I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don't like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That's just obnoxious and exhausting.
So theres BSD, truth.
They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.
Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?
You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.
You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.
Yep, as written in the manuscript:
"Stallman's Sluts and Torvalds' Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks."
Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?
Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers
Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?
Yes that was always allowed
If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.
Then it would be like Lemmy.
Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.
It's contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It's the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it's a mild case. But there's always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.
More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.
Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.
I don't understand why anybody would complain about that. It's like complaining that too many people wear jeans.
Maybe because jeans wearers don't spam up every thread about clothing with "JUST WEAR JEANS!"
Because any post can be turned into a Linux post here.
Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.
Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?
And escorts?
I can't believe my sleep addled brain read this as "e-scorts" like it was some new gaming thing.
Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".
I don't care that Linux is talked about here. It's just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It's just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
I don't care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I'm in. Enjoying something is fine, but it's best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.
momma I'm a hooker :D
if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days
GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.
I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.
