Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy

  There is definitely an overlap but I think Linux users are more like vegetarians, they cut out the commercial OS from their diet and are content with that. FOSS people are more like militant vegans … they won’t be happy unless everyone else has to use the shitty software they do.

    shitty software

    I feel like you’ve never had to deal with proprietary bullshit.

    “Shitty software”??? Basically most of non-FOSS software is shitty. Its not because we want to use shitty software, but we better use shitty software that gets better overtime, than shitty software that only gets worse. Also why everyone else has to use it?? Idgaf what you use, but I’m only angry, when you decide to pay for shit software, instead of donating the better and more free software, thats the only thing that makes me angry about people.

    what do you think veganism is?

      Mostly self-righteous virtue-signal.

        But veganism isn’t widely accepted as a virtue, so who are we supposedly signaling to by being combative?

    i mean, there are degrees to everything

    Just a year or two ago I would’ve said that i don’t even understand why linux exists. Now i’d rather say that windows should stop being a thing asap, as it brings nothing but problems and stagnation to consumer electronics, and nawadays it goes the same for any major proprietary software piece.

    What can i say, i hope the era of corpos is nearing its end, and we’re the witnesses

      Oh, I totally agree with that. I like Linux/FOSS.

      It’s the people that post about it online that are insufferable.

        currently

        we’re the people

        or at least i am :D

        also, how would others know about all that cool free stuff that i found, that’s actually cooler that the paid one 🥺🥺🥺

        foss doest have any marketing budgets, so of course foss users would blabber about it all over the place.

        so, like, seriously, what’s the alternative here?

    Have you been on Lemmy, sir?

    Using FOSS is like the first step towards using the FOSS OS.
