Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Arch Linux? I got a pamphlet and reading material for you.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's ironic because you are actually more original/funny than that guy. All he does is complain about Windows

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 39 points 2 years ago

Did you know that using Windows makes your balls shrink?

alr alr, but have you known that I use Arch, btw?

[-] zammy95@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I think hitting people with pros of Linux more than flaws/complaints about windows is a better strategy. Negativity is usually just hit with more negativity, not a very strong approach lol

Yep. It's me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, GNU/Linux?

[-] MaliciousKebab@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 years ago

Or as I like to call it GNU+Linux.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

No I'm pretty sure it's GNU divided by Linux

Try to understand, not everyone likes windows. They require quite a bit of maintenance, are usually insecure and speaking personally, some setups just don't look good. It's why some people opt for skylights instead.

[-] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Honestly windows is so slow at this point, we just use door. Why waste all that energy and power just to get the thing off the ground when alternatives exist?

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Windows is an anachronism. Since I even got my wife and her gaming PC on the light side with Garuda Linux, works like a charm. After that she wanted me to install that "cool blank desktop" I have on my work laptop on her business machine in the shop. Now she loves bspwm. Learning doesn't make life harder per se, it's fun.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 63 points 2 years ago

Windows bad, give Internet points!

Edge browser bad, give Internet points!

This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.

I enjoy Linux memes.

But not when the only joke they can muster being "Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]"

Okay, but windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.

I don’t hate windows as much as I hate Microsoft.

ReactOS is a cool project and I hope it goes somewhere.

[-] rastilin@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

ReactOS is dead and will go nowhere.

The reason I say this is that I've been following them for something like 15+ years by this point, and they haven't made any perceptible progress in that time. They're at exactly the same point now where they were 15 years ago.

Yes, Windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.

But how difficult is it to use actual arguments to prove they did instead of pulling completely false ones out of your ass?

I make fun of Windows search all the time because it deserves it.

But I'm not going to make fun of Windows update because it doesn't directly tell you what they changed. Since a single google search can give you the answer.

Anyway, Linux memes should be about Linux, not Windows. It is almost like those Linuxians are jealous Windows has a ginormous market share while their respective distro does not.

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

What market share are you talking about?

Overall Linux runs the world. So I am generally confused.

Edge isn't a bad browser. However it's based on Chromium so using it just feeds into the Chromium monopoly.

Firefox or Safari is the only way.

It's Chrome, but Microsoft. So no it's not good but not because of speed or technical quality.

[-] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 30 points 2 years ago

I mean I know people who are still trying to find bypasses to get around Microsoft and their online only strategy.

If you're still doing this, you.need to try Linux.

I don't have a problem with Edge itself. We use it at work and it's fine. I have a problem with microsoft constantly trying to trick me into using it among all their other shitty practices.

It's not hate. It's just that when you know things, windows is simply insufferable and not working. And they make the system worse with each update.

When it comes to browsing the web and showing content and having good add-ons, edge does a good job.

But why does it need to constantly advertise itself and other microsoft things to me? It's annoying when Firefox does this, but it feels like edge does it almost every time I open it.

The guy that became a Marxist because of Linux?

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Didn't check that far but it was a lot of generic posts from 2 users with similar names which could be summarised as "Windows bad" and "Linux good", with some variations including windows programs. Checked their accounts and they appear utterly obsessed with whining about Windows.

Like I get it. Windows sucks. Doesn't mean I want my entire feed full of a kid spamming their vitriol for it.

[-] sunnie@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 years ago

if hating something is your entire personality i am not talking to you regardless of what that thing is

Not defending the games quality, just kind of reminded me of how obsessed the "anti-fandom" of that game is.

To be honest I'd still be on Windows if MS hadn't screwed me out of the license I bought through the MS store and attached to my MS account. I do kinda miss the new Bing assistant in Edge, that was neat to screw around with for free while I was on that OS
