    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.

    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.

      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.

        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!

    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.

      That is so not the experience of most of us who just don’t give a fuck about what OS other people use. I love my Mac but I have no desire to talk about my OS like it’s a hobby any more than I talk about the kind of car I drive.

      I had to block linuxmemes because it was so spammy. I’m about to do the same to Linuxsucks as well.

      But for the record Linux users are the CrossFit/vegans of the tech world. We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

        I care. I like hearing about it. Even when you make the wrong choice.
