I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don’t like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That’s just obnoxious and exhausting.
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

Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the knee high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?

If you use arch you have to start knitting

I just checked my
history, 21110. And there was more that got cut off before I increased the history length. Are they supposed to come each Christmas or something because I don’t have them yet.Saleh@feddit.org 2 months ago
Does repeating commands count or do they have to be entered manually?

Better get to work then, its gonna be a cold winter.

You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.
You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.

Yep, as written in the manuscript:
“Stallman’s Sluts and Torvalds’ Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks.”

You have to find the shop and pay some gold, but when you equip them you get +2 programming and can be combined with BLÅHAJ for +2 gender euphoria.

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

I dunno man, you might be right cuz you’d probably be told to pipe it down
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, and you’re not there for service.
Then it would be like Lemmy.
Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
even though you’re not there for service
I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?
Zorque@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Why come to lemmy if you’re not down for linux?
I dunno, maybe the brothel gas a restaurant with a good prime rib special.
VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 2 months ago

Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.
BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It’s the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it’s a mild case. But there’s always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.
olafurp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS
pH3ra@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yeah, your’s is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they’re drunk but thank god they’re not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t understand why anybody would complain about that. It’s like complaining that too many people wear jeans.
mvirts@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.
LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it’s a brothel.

Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.

hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I’m in. Enjoying something is fine, but it’s best to not let anything become your identity or define you as a person.
Holyginz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t care that Linux is talked about here. It’s just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It’s just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.

if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days
parpol@programming.dev 2 months ago
When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is “windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit” linux users are going to reply with “use Linux”.
It’s like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users…I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.
How is that too many Linux users???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like “ACTUALLY IT’S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!”
Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can’t turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.
…and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it’s core concepts and user culture.
Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!
…but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!

Frankly, I don’t have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it’s preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don’t have a desire to care.

Second.
That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There’s always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they’re about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.
Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You know, I did it. I finally took the leap, ditched Windows, and installed Linux Mint. And honestly? I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner. I mean, who knew freedom from updates that hijack your work in the middle of a call could feel this good? It’s like discovering this secret, ultra-customizable paradise where I’m the one in control.
And the best part? It was way easier than I expected. No complicated coding, no hidden hoops—just a few clicks, a couple of quick installs, and bam: a smooth, speedy system that’s totally mine. I feel like Neo breaking free from the Matrix! Now I just want to shout it from the rooftops, like, why isn’t everyone doing this? Windows users could be liberated! Free from the reign of random reboots and endless notifications.
I’m telling you, if you’re still on Windows, come on over to the Mint side. We have stability, speed, and a whole lot of satisfaction. The world needs to know!
jaybone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You also have to run the right Linux distro. Try telling Lemmy you run Ubuntu.
msage@programming.dev 2 months ago
The number one reason not to switch is “I don’t want to”. And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.
‘But muh games’ only very few don’t work OOB or at all.
‘I need this software’ most works flawlessly under Wine.
‘It crashes’ exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.
‘Hardware isn’t plug&play’ more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.
Jusy say “I dont want to give it a shot” or “I’m in the minority that can’t switch”, but don’t bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads… It’s dishonest and in bad faith.
FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.
I also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.
I get that most don’t care, but that doesn’t mean supporting those companies is good.
Flatfire@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
It’s fine to feel that way. It’s also fine to have that discussion with folks who may not know what the current state of is. But the bottom line is people don’t enjoy being told what they’re familiar with isn’t good or useful, because to them, it is. If it fulfills their day to day needs and wants, there’s very little argument to be had.
Microsoft’s business practices are scummy, and Apple’s closed ecosystem leads them to punish their customers. But not everyone uses their computer for more than what they absolutely require. Many do not have home computers, and may only interact with them for work. I’m a geek, nerd, whatever. I like to tinker, I like to customize, and I like that I have the freedom to do so. But most people just want something they’re familiar with, something that works as they expect it to. They don’t want to learn to use something at home that isn’t the same as work or school. And honestly I think that’s fair. There’s more going on in their lives, and these days almost everything they need to do is on the internet anyways.
Mango@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I agree with you 100%!
Also, if everyone switched to Linux, the games that won’t work, because the company making it is trying to own your machine, will all fail and those companies will have to do something else.
Mango@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I get that the preaching comes off as printing, but how is Linux not a perfect alternative?
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Try to run photoshop or 3dsMax on linux. It just doesn’t work
Krita and Gimp are maaaaaybe up to the job if I invest enough time but blender is clearly not a replacement for 3dsmax.
TrippyHippyDan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think the biggest problem is the fact that it is a three-pronged Choice.
Where two of them are fighting each other to become the biggest dumpster fire and the last one is just trying to function.
Its like the American political system. 😂
