Oh my god, yes. Go look at distro watch. It's a horror show.

Well, I passed out at a warehouse because my supervisor wouldn't let me go for a water break in 100+ degree weather, and I got fired for "loafing."
Does that count?
Reddit uses algorithms to drive engagement. I mean, not old.reddit, but regular reddit. Lemmy doesn't.
Basically, modern Reddit, like other big name social media, is specifically designed to be addictive because it's evil. Lemmy isn't.
Well, you've got me on that one.
Seems like you're pretty happy with Windows. I don't really see a reason to convinced you otherwise, but since you asked…
Basically, Linux can range from a bit to a shit ton more secure. It's also, the the off and on exception of Ubuntu, free of ads, and much more respectful of your privacy. Also, depending on your hardware, Linux can offer a modest performance boost. I personally find maintenance to be much faster and less resource intensive, if a bit less noob-friendly.
But like I said - if you're happy, why change?
I totally get that. The world is a funny place, and no two people will habe the same lived experience.
And FTR, as weird as this may sound to you, the big deal to me was that on Linux (usually Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, or a derivative of those three) there were significantly fewer problems in the first place, never mind whether or not they got solved. I may just have gotten a lucky spin on the Great Hardware Roulette Wheel.
Sorry, I feel like I'm going to regret asking but… what?
You know, I've been using Linux on desktops and laptops for like 20 years now. I can count on one hand then number of times I've had hardware support issues. Outside of a fingerprint scanner, I've been able to solve all of those issues.
Meanwhile, my adventures across the years dealing with Windows drivers led me to finally say "fuck it" earlier this year and nuke the Windows install on my gaming rig in favor of Nobara.
I'll take Linux hardware support over Microsoft any day of the week.
You've "debunked" dick, buddy. You are presenting an argument without proof (I have yet to see any evidence of my or OPs hypocrisy), and you can't really "debunk" number 2, because it's not a claim of fact, it's just friendly advice.
And the reason I keep repeating myself is because I'm calling you on your bullshit. I kinda have to repeat myself if I have to keep reminding you of what the we're talking about.
And of course you didn't say you were winning. That would be too direct and assertive. But you're acting like you are. You're acting like you're scoring points on me. You seem to think you're being clever.
You're not. You're not scoring points, because there are no points, and you're not clever because you seem to think you can, what, insult me?
Dude.
I'm a 45+ year old combat veteran who remembers flamewars on 90s Usenet. I've been dealing with shit like this longer than you've been toilet trained, possibly since before your daddy forgot to pull out. I've been torn down by literal professionals.
This? This is a picnic. This is a walk in the park. I'll keep it up as long as I stay amused. But seriously, sunshine, you're kinda just sad.
Ah. I'm sorry. I forgot to keep things at a 3rd grade reading level. Here, sweetie, I'll tl-dr for you:
- Your quote about presenting arguments without proof? You're the only one doing that.
- If you're gonna insult someone's use of language, learn to proofread.
It's funny. I'm pretty sure you think you're "winning" this. Dude, replying to you is just my way of having fun as I make more interesting things sitting on the toilet. I can keep this up as long as I'm sufficiently bored.
I'm kinda done with you, child. But let's do this:
its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection
Yeah. You said that. Three times.
What you've failed to notice is that you keep calling me, and OP, hypocrites with no supporting evidence. I provided an example of your hypocrisy and explained why it was hypocritical. You didn't. So if anyone is making repeated unsubstantiated accusations, it's you.
So, by your own argument the only one projecting here is you.
I perfectly debunked your argument and my statement made perfect sensse.
No, you didn't. You posted a link to the definition of the word, and then said "oh, you totally did both those things" (I'm paraphrasing here.). You didn't point out where I or OP said anything that remotely met the definition you posted. So, to use your own dipshitty quote:
When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.
You've repeatedly made the claim that OP and I are hypocrites. Nothing indicates that we are. So, you must be projecting, according to behavioral analysis.
Wait - are you not convinced just because I repeated myself? Welcome yo my world, kid. That's all you've done this whole thread.
Oh, and you made an ad hominim attack against me questioning my personal grooming routine. So, there's that too. Since you have zero information about my grooming routine, then, because…
When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.
… I have to conclude that you are projecting, and could probably use a bath. And maybe some time away from the internet, out from under your bridge.
Oh! I almost forgot! You insulted my grasp of English with poor English. So, yeah. If you're gonna call someone's grasp of a language into question as a pathetic attempt at looking smart, here are two good rules:
- Don't. You don't know if English is their first language, and even if it is, you just end up looking like an asshole
- If you absolutely insist on doing it, proofread your fucking post.
Ta. It's been fun.
I use two windows side by side. To be honest, I've never really gotten into tabs in a file manager, and split view isn't much better. Neither one is as easy for me as just ctrl-n into a new window.
Everyone is different. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, as the saying goes.
