They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux... At this point, It's endlessly annoying, as it's on literally every post about any operating system.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Nearly every post is about Windows or MacOS yet when someone mentions Linux suddenly it's a problem?

I also hate how Windows and MacOS are mentioned on every post about operating systems yet here we are. Why is no-one talking about Temple OS?

But seriously why doesn't your rule apply to the other operating systems? Perhaps no-one is promoting Windows because it's not the OS they chose, it's the OS they got and it's their god given right to be miserable and make sure everyone else is.

How dare I care about my operating system choice and how I use my computer. How dare I recommend it to other people. How dare I try to convince them to give it a go because it might be better for them. As a Linux user I am truly scum, the worst of the worst.

Do you think people never hear about Windows, iOS, Android, etc?

I think you just get irrationally angry when people bring up something you don't use. We get it, you use Windows btw.

I find it kinda staggering you think it's not appropriate for someone to mention alternative OSes on a submission where people are criticising an OS lol.

Let's apply that thinking to another product: Samsung TV does bad thing. Do you think it would be inappropriate or unusual for commenters to mention that other TV brands exist? If not, then why is it different for this other tool?

It's not like there an infinite number of OSs. Unless you have a Mac the choice is basically Windows or Linux.
It's absolutely logical that any operating system post will have comments pushing Linux.

I hope that one day someone makes another better OS, because Linux is annoying as well. But until then you'll have to suffer these comments.

Meantime, the BSD crowd: "am I a joke to you?"
