Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.
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

No it isn’t a thing, I’ve seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I’m pretty sure it’s either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint

Complaining that linux sucks, and complaining that there are too many linux users is two vastly different things. I think linux sucks, but I also wish there were more users because then there would be more programs for it, and it would also be better.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

Should have called it Linuxy

More like kinky sex slaves … they’re all either cheap or work for free.
They’ll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they’ll never leave you alone because it’s their kink and it turns them on.

Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.
I actually don’t know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.

The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 7 months ago
If you are bothered by those complaints, try Arch.
timewarp@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Lol… I was a religious Arch user for a long time. I miss running Linux as my primary OS in s lot of ways, although when I do it again it’ll be an ephemeral distro, but I had to get things done and the support and prioritization of apps that make me productive right isn’t there. I don’t blame open source developers though but large software companies that deprioritize and fudge cross platform software.
Despite Microsoft having done some contribution to open source, their culture is still very toxic and counterproductive. Graphics card makers have also intentionally locked vGPU support for consumers, almost like they’re intentionally preventing efficient Windows on Linux support.

i came to lemmy because reddit kept banning me for pointing out the elephant in the room. i heard enough about linux from my brother, who was talking about it back in 2006. he has a mac and PC now and no time to deal with an indie OS. you people are late to the party and also a little weird frankly.
kava@lemmy.world 7 months ago
indie OS
it’s the OS that virtually every server uses. even Microsoft servers slowly switched away from Windows roughly a decade ago. Today majority of their servers run Linux
it’s not indie- it’s big and corporate. the difference is there’s a weird serendipitous intersection of OSS and corporate interest that has arisen in a way that allows regular joe schmoe to run software you can actually control. so that your computer actually belongs to you
imagine with your car. would you be OK with ads in your rear view mirror? with your car constantly sending data about how you drive to some nameless corporation? your car randomly turning on and updating itself while you sleep? taking away features you may want or adding features you don’t?
that’s the path we’re going down with cars right now. and it’s partly because people are content to sit on their laurels and cede all of their collective power to companies like Microsoft

That really hurt the elephant’s feelings to be always singled out, so no wonder.

I’d never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It’s now my preferred PC. But it’s also super-duper polished and painless.
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.

Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).
Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

I hope you aren’t running EOL software. You aren’t running EOL software right?
