  Android and ChromeOS are also ignored :-D However, I hope you don’t want to talk about operating systems cause now everybody just talk about AI :-/

    Android is good. ChromeOS is just normal linux turned against the user

      I’m intrigued at this notion that ChromeOS is Linux turned against the user but Android isn’t…

        I’m thinking about pure Android which is open source. I could’ve written that better…

      Android is pretty turned against the end user also, their sideloading permissions seem to be explicitly designed to annoy or scare people out of using it, and in my opinion isn’t really needed because we had the one toggle and it’s not like it grants the apps permission to install the apps themselves, it just allows you to click a button. It’s a process designed to add more steps to frustrate the user.

      That doesn’t even mention many of the under the hood changes made over the years to worsen user experience, like preventing or making difficult internal audio recording.

      Then there’s the whole anti-root thing, which honestly shouldn’t even be a thing in the first place, if you’re going to claim phones are like computers why aren’t they open like them? I do not and will not buy the “security” argument because even windows allows you to delete the entire registry with enough persistence, but on android you have to either get permission from OEM or use an exploit to install root before getting that access.

        Okay, Linux phones will be the absolute freedom and make Android obsolete. Once the phones are mature enough

    I have used Linux, I use Linux remotely for work all the time. I very much dislike using it as a desktop OS. It’s still not a functioning gaming OS either. However, it’s constantly pushed down your throat on this website whenever you even mention using windows.

      The difference between our advertising and that of the megacorps is that ours is actually driven by passion and love for what we use and create. And that passion won’t stop.

        Ok, and?

        I’m not interested in using Linux as a desktop OS. I’ve often made that clear, only to be met with “but have you tried this?”

        It does the exact same thing as it does for vegans. Instead of bringing people to your cause you alienate them by constantly shoving it in their face.

        My most played games constantly have problems on Linux.

        Apex Legends regularly falsely bans Linux players

        iRacing isn’t Linux compatible, nor will it ever be

        Destiny 2 won’t be compatible either

    Not sure if you realize it, but you’re exactly proving the point of this thread. It comes of as condescending that you assume someone must be uninformed because they don’t agree with you.

      I fully realize that people like you would think that. But hey, you totally weren’t condescending here!

    I’ve used Linux exclusively on my personal machines since 2004. I still loathe it. I just loathe it marginally less than I loathe Windows.

  I’ve not gotten attacked, I play online multiplayer games and Linux just isn’t an option for my favorite games.

  Granted I do want to eventually set up a dual boot setup, but rn my personal computers are either windows or macOS. I’ve talked w people about Linux, and we just agreed it can’t do everything yet.

  On Mastodon, I hardly see anything about Linux, but I’ve been curating my feed, subscribing to hashtags and then seeing people pop up saying interesting things, then I check out their feed and maybe follow them. It takes more work than Twitter, but your feed is exactly what you make of it.
