Only hate speech allowed
Ban for every other opinion
"Non-toxic community"
Ok, just checked it out, I guess the guy couldn't afford therapy and created that instead. He's life seems really sad.
"Misery loves company"
When you see stuff like this, people just randomly hating on something that just seems so out there it's usually because they're insanely depressed and/or their life is in shambles. So the guy is in a miserable state and lashes out in hopes he can somehow make others lives equally as miserable so then he finally, in a way, won't feel "alone".
It's ragebait, and an incredibly effective one at that
Yup. See: This thread.
If they want to hate Linux, they're allowed to. And that may be a plural or singular they.
It's run by a person who has a hate boner for Linux and can't handle that they are forced to use it in their every day life and likes to lash out at people.
never ask madthumbs and ustheimheim what os their favorite website runs on
Or their phone.
Damn I wish I was forced to use linux in my every day life. All companies here seem to require windows for some reason.
I really think theyre fascists
"this is not a democracy" and banning talk of privacy alternatives?
I think their take is crazy, but calling them facists does a disservice to the word.
No, this part is fine. They made a space to talk about their obsession and have no obligation to let strangers come and tell them how to.
"Victims of linux" Was bro touched by tux when they were young or what đź’€
I'm worried for the state of the internet.
Not because communities like this exist, but because it seems everyone in the thread is failing to recognize obvious trolling. Have you kids never heard of flaming? This is the most egregious ragebait and y'all are taking it
I joined lemmy a couple of days ago, this whole community feels like the most autistic and socially inept part of reddit. Really weird to read the comments on lemmy.
Well 90% of the users here are autistic trans furries soooo....
Hey, I'm not trans, I'm just an ally who enjoys the egg_irl and related communities. And I'm barely even Aspergic. And only one of the four family laptops has linux on it, and it's not even Arch, it's Mint.
I think madthumbs is on the payroll
"Victims of linux"
Who the fuck are they talking about, bill gates?
Nvidia when Linus flipped the bird at them.
how are these people real? oh maybe they arent
As an IT, I can confirm we have to use the terminal for some sketchy workarounds every time we install Windows just to skip the Microsoft account thing
you don't have to install it because it's already there
This sums up their knowledge in a single sentence, really. I wonder if they know they can build a computer and it won't "have" anything on it. Or that Apple computers exist.
drivers install for you without having to find them
Lmao, lol even. Imagine not having a monolithic kernel. Imagine having a micro kernel where drivers need to be installed.
Just spam them with FreeBSD stuff then.
FreeBSD and its derivatives ≠Linux
Not to mention that more things run Linux than Windows including the router those people who hate Linux are using its running Linux.
Edit... FYI: I am a Linux user. My home server is TrueNAS (Linux based but been using it since FreeNAS 9.1), my desktop is Ubuntu Cinnamon, I use android for phones and tablets, my router is OpnSense (which is FreeBSD based but still FOSS.)
And this will be my last post on the subject. Look out for my post on c/linuxsucks.

Listen up, folks. We all know Linux sucks. It’s a fact. But I did some digging, and the conspiracy goes way deeper than just some neckbeard's broken desktop environment.
​It turns out Linux has infected literally everything. And since Linux sucks, by transitive property, the entire modern world sucks and we need to stop using all of it immediately.
​If you are a true Linux hater, it is time to walk the walk. Here is the hit list of things we need to boycott starting today:
​1. The Internet
​Yep, turn off your router. The Internet runs on Linux. The vast majority of the world’s web servers, DNS servers, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are powered by Linux. Every time you open a webpage, you are validating Linus Torvalds. If you’re reading this post right now, you are part of the problem. Smash your modem. It sucks.
​2. Smartphones (Yes, even yours)
​Are you reading this on an Android? Congratulations, you are carrying a modified Linux kernel in your pocket. It sucks. Oh, you have an iPhone? Well, the massive server farms that Apple uses to sync your iCloud data, send your iMessages, and process your Apple Pay run on—you guessed it—Linux. Throw your phone in a lake.
​3. Entertainment and Streaming
​Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube: Their massive backend streaming infrastructure? All Linux. ​Smart TVs: Most of them run on Linux-based firmware. If you want to watch a movie, go outside and act it out with puppets. Digital entertainment is ruined.
​4. Space Exploration
​NASA sent the Ingenuity helicopter to Mars, and it was powered by a Linux distribution. Space sucks now. SpaceX rockets? Linux. We can’t even leave the planet to get away from it.
​5. High-Speed Rail and Air Travel
​Commercial aviation routing systems, air traffic control data feeds, and international bullet train networks rely heavily on Linux for uptime and reliability. If you want to travel, you better buy a horse. (Just make sure the horse hasn't been microchipped by a vet using a Linux database).
​6. The Entire Global Economy
​The New York Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and virtually all major banking backends run on Linux because they need "99.999% uptime." You know what else has 99.999% uptime? Garbage. Money sucks. Go back to the barter system.
​Oh, you thought you were safe because you only use Windows? Think again! This goes all the way to the top. The mechanism used to fix, patch, and secure every Windows machine on Earth—Windows Update—is powered by a Linux backend. Microsoft uses Linux servers and container networks to push out their own updates because apparently, Windows Server can’t even handle distributing its own code. So every time your PC forces a random reboot to install a security patch, a Linux server just handed Windows its lunch. Windows sucks so hard that it literally relies on Linux to fix itself, which means Windows is Linux by proxy. They both suck!
​Conclusion: The Ultimate Protest
​If we are going to be pure, we have to commit. I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of modern society until the entire global infrastructure is rewritten in pure, unadulterated Windows ME. ​This is my final post. I am smashing my PC, disconnecting my power grid (because utility companies use Linux to manage the smart grid), and moving into a cave.
​Who is with me?!
Awww, I got banned.
One of the only disadvantages of lemmy is that any moron can start an instance or community lol
It's run by a moron troll, obviously. All you need to know.
Isn't that the idiot who managed to get banned by the automod bot?
Besides, the Unix Haters' Handbook is always worth a read for laughs. Some stuff still hasn't been fixed (looking at you, rm and useless man pages)
LOL
how is a license damaging your firmware? and any os can do that
Ok, I know a lot about Linux and enough about firmware to answer that. So, here's the logic:
What a sick sad little loser.
OF COURSE he’s a MAGA incel, that makes a ton of sense
It's just one guy who gets off on being contrarian and takes getting downvoted to oblivion every time as confirmation that he is fighting some kind of evil conspiracy.
Trolling, duh. I suppose there's a remote chance that someone just happened to turn... kinda strawman Linux evangelist-y about being anti linux, but I wouldn't put a ton of money on that.
And of course it's reddit-y, this whole place is bootleg reddit except a tad angrier somehow.
The head mod is a Trump supporter, of course they would be against anything that isn't straight up capitalist
That's....a very specific fetish
Lol, we'll soon find out that it's an astroturfing instance led by Microsoft agents
LOL is that still a thing? I remember roasting that com from my Lemm.ee account and getting instabanned
I thought it was like a meme community but I guess they’re serious?
EDIT: I must be banned or something because all I found was this:
They are probably just bad faith actors, trying to get people away from the good stuff.
Does the owner knows his instance runs on Linux?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
