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.

I feel that. I like Linux, but I also like using the right tool for the job, and sometimes that's actually Windows. The rates of Linux talk here reminds me of Reddit like 15 years ago. It's nice, but also I forgot how weird it is to be in such a Linuxy echochamber

There ya go Linux user. I’m perfectly happy with my computer and the fact I can afford it without a problem.

So where do those of us who don't think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Probably not in the metaphorical brothel.

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though...

Maybe the 'ol junkyard? It was crazy fun when we were kids and we got fond memories of it.

I hate microsoft BTW, windows has just gotten a bit too bloated and obnoxious IMO.
