Average response when I ask for help with linux on forums
Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza
semperverus@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoHonestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.
If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck.

No it literally doesn’t work it’s not compatible. Also don’t be a bitch…
That is a really interesting way of asking for help. Next time I need help, I’ll try being obstinate and predetermining that the thing I need help with just doesn’t work while calling them a bitch and see how that goes.
I usually try actually asking for help and refrain from calling the person I’m talking to a bitch.

This isn’t a help forum and I don’t ask for help here you might not understand this but not every game is compatible and there are enough games that aren’t compatible for me to not switch because of it. Some VR games I can just forget Linux. ProtonDB is a good source as well. I think you’re projecting you need help onto me.

Can none of yall read usernames? Not the same guy

I stand by what I said. Responding to someone that was responding to someone else that was being obstinate with average response when I ask for help is missing the actual point.
The OP that I quoted wanted to be combative, got a combative response, and then someone else made it about “asking for help”, which is their fault if they think that this thread had anything to do with it.

A lot of people grew up in a time where the desire for anonymity on the internet was praised and respected, reading usernames unless you had a specific reason to do so was considered strange.
I know I at the very least have to force myself to look at them if it’s something that needs doing, as I am conditioned specifically to ignore them.

Check the username dude wrong person, besides you started the whole thing by accusing them of goalpost moving.
semperverus@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I accused the community as a whole of goalpost moving.

Yeah because you use the few distributions that work with 4k like I explained. There are enough that literally don’t work because you need a 1920x1080 or similar monitor to then switch DPI to make 4k compatible.

I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don’t end up as hypocrites.
From what I’m hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).

My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.
The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn’t feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.
mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn’t bad at all.
The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will “stick it out” regardless of the end user experience.

That definitely is true, we do tolerate a lot of rough edges out of ethics and principals.
