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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
