C'mon, us linux users do the inverse all the time...
That's not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.
Fewer than 19*
I've converted to Linux since.
The thing is - most windows user don't even know Linux exists...
Linux users π
Windows user π
Used and supported Windows for over 30 years at this point. I've NEVER been a fan, and started looking into Linux back in '99. It wasn't ready back then, but two decades later and it seems like Linux does everything except anti-cheat, which I have no use for, better than Windows ever did.
... I worked for Microsoft.
... during the time they rolled out Win8, by dogfooding it through every employee and contractor.
I don't know anyone that hates Microsoft and Windows more than I do.
(Also applies to "Lemmy users" on the top and "Reddit users" on the bottom)
We don't really do the same thing, because Microsoft is forced upon us every step of the way.
If I didn't have to use windows for work...
It happens when MS does something that annoys their userbase. Then Linux nerds jump in and tell how much Linux is better.
Yes. Because we want native support from apps. Windows has the market share to not care. Linux is getting there but is nowhere near to even macOS.
Yeah, it's Windows users going out and proudly exclaiming their love. Definitely never heard a Linux user bitch about another OS.ππ
This has to be intentionally dense shit to trigger ACHKTUALLY type engagement right?
Windows users don't think about or even realize that other operating systems exist
Or they value an os that works out of the box with the vast majority of hardware. Even valve and steamos is on proprietary hardware has a ton of issues. Windows is God awful but I didn't have to run a script on every boot up to set my HDMI device as a default. Or have to reboot my device every time I turn off my TV because HDMI can't connect. And none of my controllers, 8bitdo, ps5ds, xbox360, work wirelessly without latency issues π€·ββοΈ.
The stubbornness of the community to acknowledge this continues to hamper improving the situation.
I give money and use bazzite+ my steam deck to support foss, but I'm not blind to the numerous issues that need to be fixed before Linux is less ignored.
Well fuck me they are real
My favorite thing is going onto the community for a game that explicitly supports linux with a problem just to have a bunch of replies to install windows from random chuds.
Nah, as a Windows user on the topic of Linux here in the fediverse I'll be totally honest: I mostly just feel like I'm looking at and a bit wishing I was smart and savvy and motivated enough to be one of the cool kids, but after my last disastrous attempt at switching (because apparently my video card just isn't supported I guess? whatever, I'm not looking for tech support here) I'm just happy enough to be at the cool punk party instead of predatory frat party (reddit, twitter, take your pick of corporate shithole) where I'm likely to get roofied.
I put off the switch for ages due to similar reasons, tried once that failed horribly. Later had a motherboard failure and Microsoft showed their whole arse. Reactivated the dual boot, channeled my inner old woman energy, solved the video issue and have been happily tinkering with the smaller issues as they come up. Still playing whack a mole, but now I'm getting things the way I want them, instead of disabling things I'm being told I want by some corporate nutcase.
And hilariously, I am spending less time maintaining Linux than I did for Windows.
This is the most hypocritical post in the history of the Internet.
I keep my dislike of Linux to myself.
Its Linux bros who are constantly flooding any and all legit questions about Windows with 'just use Linux 4head'.
Go away.
I keep my dislike of Linux to myself.
Clearly.
This doesnβt happen.
Windows users complain and meme all the time about the linux fandom of the fediverse, which is what I assume OP was referring to.
The lack of awareness from Linux nerds who think this is perfectly on-brand, I'm dying XD
The joke is that 99% of the other stalls are also Linux lmao
I genuinely have never seen this take. Sometimes someone shares something like "I tried it out and it wasn't quite for me", and that's about as vitriolic as it get. And even that's rare.
I wish all Linux "poofed" out of existence for exactly 24 hours (and then poofed back effortlessly) so that dummydumbdumbderps could learn just how much their Apple and Windows computers rely on them to ever communicate with any other device on the planet.
"Linux is so bad it even broke the internet for one day. Windows managed to not disappear just fine!"
Yeah, they would be dumb enough to say that I suppose.
Fastest save of my life. Applies to so many things too. I never understood the appeal of showing up just to say negative things. I'm guessing it's some need to drag people down to your sad level or something but it's not something I can understand.
The comic feels like a preemptive "no u"
My only remaining real problems are:
What the fuck does the threadiverse even want for itself? Do you see yourself as an enshittification-resistant replacement for Reddit, or a communist Linux forum? This comic only makes sense if it's the latter.
Could that be a bit of a hasty reduction to make based on one post in a shitpost comm?
