Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

  That is so not the experience of most of us who just don’t give a fuck about what OS other people use. I love my Mac but I have no desire to talk about my OS like it’s a hobby any more than I talk about the kind of car I drive.

  I had to block linuxmemes because it was so spammy. I’m about to do the same to Linuxsucks as well.

  But for the record Linux users are the CrossFit/vegans of the tech world. We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

    I feel that. I like Linux, but I also like using the right tool for the job, and sometimes that’s actually Windows. The rates of Linux talk here reminds me of Reddit like 15 years ago. It’s nice, but also I forgot how weird it is to be in such a Linuxy echochamber

      There ya go Linux user. I’m perfectly happy with my computer and the fact I can afford it without a problem.

    I care. I like hearing about it. Even when you make the wrong choice.

  So where do those of us who don’t think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

    Probably not in the metaphorical brothel.

      I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though…

        Maybe the 'ol junkyard? It was crazy fun when we were kids and we got fond memories of it.

        I hate microsoft BTW, windows has just gotten a bit too bloated and obnoxious IMO.

      I’m sorry, I don’t get it. For what are we coping?

        Microsoft just recently implemented a screenshot spyware on your computer and an AI with the widest attack surface for hackers ever on your OS and mixed it into your most basic tool, the file explorer, then blocked off a quarter of all users for using 2-5 year old hardware, instead of implementing software fixes to avoid hardware vulnerabilities.

        It then forced you to use a closed source hardware component that likely has a backdoor, to store all your encryption keys, required you to make a Microsoft account just to use your PC, and then use that account to spy on your every move both online and offline. It is a privacy nightmare.

        It then keeps overriding your default settings to make you to use Microsoft products over other ones, and have started baking in ads into various menues.

        If you still don’t think that makes it the worst OS, you’re obviously coping. I have used Linux, Windows, and Mac, and out of those three, Windows is at the very bottom.
