My fiance always tells me how much she hates me complaining about things and not doing anything to improve it, and i think that's a fair point. She has had to continuously tend for herself, fighting health care, education system and society to get by. And that really made me understand that complaining without doing anything is both priveleged and stupid. I have more respect towards others than trying to force Linux down their throats, but just complaining and ignoring a solution, even if all the circumstances line up perfectly, is just dumb. Complaining is justified, not doing anything or pretending you can't is not. That being said, the Linux community is obnoxious and, in many cases, has the worst case of superiority complex, although i do believe we have gotten way better at that and are way more welcoming now than before.

I think the problem is worse. People tell me I should hate Microsoft and should be complaining. I'm no fan, but its just part of my life. Its got issues, but rarely does it interupt the busyness of my life. I'm ambivalent about Microsoft. They are not very different from the vast majority of global corporations.

I'm going to say this clearly, this comment is not an invitation to tell me how I should hate Microsoft.

but... use Unix.

This actually kills the average Lemmy user.
