Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

what's so bad about linux
I don't care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I'm in. Enjoying something is fine, but it's best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.
Yep. Better to get to the finish line of life with no identity whatsoever. Life is meant to be left unlived.
exactly what a windows user would say
I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.
Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?
Yes that was always allowed
It's contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It's the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it's a mild case. But there's always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.
I caught this ubuntu server thing on my laptop, I haven't really bothered fixing it because it's been really handy
Lemmy users are hookers confirmed
i came to lemmy because reddit kept banning me for pointing out the elephant in the room. i heard enough about linux from my brother, who was talking about it back in 2006. he has a mac and PC now and no time to deal with an indie OS. you people are late to the party and also a little weird frankly.
That really hurt the elephant's feelings to be always singled out, so no wonder.
I don't understand why anybody would complain about that. It's like complaining that too many people wear jeans.
Should have called it Linuxy
momma I'm a hooker :D
Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?
You have to find the shop and pay some gold, but when you equip them you get +2 programming and can be combined with BLÅHAJ for +2 gender euphoria.
You unlock them once you enter your 10,000th terminal command.
Better get to work then, its gonna be a cold winter.
Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?
happy cake day!
I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.
It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.
Lol, far more accurate
And LGBT+ people (who are also overrepresented in brothels)
(That is a statement of fact, not judgement)
Link doesn't work for me.
Linux doesn't work for me
Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.
Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?
And escorts?
Escorts are luxury accessories you take to upscale events for "smoozin & boozin".
They'll even fuck you if you gain their interest or are rich enough. Think of them like geisha. Beautiful, seductive, multifaceted and cultured.
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.
Second.
That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it's a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
You also have to run the right Linux distro. Try telling Lemmy you run Ubuntu.
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!
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!
The number one reason not to switch is "I don't want to". And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.
'But muh games' only very few don't work OOB or at all.
'I need this software' most works flawlessly under Wine.
'It crashes' exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.
'Hardware isn't plug&play' more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.
Jusy say "I dont want to give it a shot" or "I'm in the minority that can't switch", but don't bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads... It's dishonest and in bad faith.
FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.
Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.
I get that most don't care, but that doesn't mean supporting those companies is good.
It's fine to feel that way. It's also fine to have that discussion with folks who may not know what the current state of is. But the bottom line is people don't enjoy being told what they're familiar with isn't good or useful, because to them, it is. If it fulfills their day to day needs and wants, there's very little argument to be had.
Microsoft's business practices are scummy, and Apple's closed ecosystem leads them to punish their customers. But not everyone uses their computer for more than what they absolutely require. Many do not have home computers, and may only interact with them for work. I'm a geek, nerd, whatever. I like to tinker, I like to customize, and I like that I have the freedom to do so. But most people just want something they're familiar with, something that works as they expect it to. They don't want to learn to use something at home that isn't the same as work or school. And honestly I think that's fair. There's more going on in their lives, and these days almost everything they need to do is on the internet anyways.
I think the biggest problem is the fact that it is a three-pronged Choice.
Where two of them are fighting each other to become the biggest dumpster fire and the last one is just trying to function.
Its like the American political system. 😂
Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!
That'd be us Unix socks people.
Even Hookers need scheduling and accounting.
I love how this entire comment chain went lol
The Fediverse is so fun!!!
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
As long as both remain free and open source I'll allow it.
Because they are wise in the ways of the world.
GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.
So is investing in QOL updates for end users, but the budget went elsewhere.
They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.
It gives a whole new meaning to my buddy's Ford escort.
"Companions"
Escorts 🍷
Looking at you c/linuxsucks
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.
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
Does that really happen though? Maybe I just don't notice it.
I guess it comes up in any thread about windows, in the same way a post about "google chrome adds whatever anti-feature" is going to have comments saying "firefox is way better".
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord Tux?
Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.
As long as there's blackjack too.
I run both. everyone hates me :')
I run both. everyone hates me :')
Lindows
Brothix? Linal?
I hope not given how out of date it’s be by now.
Well friend, it's a good thing you don't use a Mac, then.
It's true that were total sluts aren't we?
We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.
#LinuxSluts
I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.
And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.
I only use Mint. But I have 4 of them now.
Hey baby, I got all the distros and we can try them all, all night long.
Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈
Even gentoo. Its so quaint and quirky.
Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.
I actually don't know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.
if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days
What’s a LiNUx?¿
You see, little @[email protected], when a man loves a woman…. Birds…. Bees…. yada yada yada…. You get a baby brother or sister.
An investment in yourself
Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit
You must not browse All much then. There's a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn't very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.
Ah maybe I blocked them a long time ago because I haven’t seen it. What’s not to like about Linux?? I don’t even use Linux but I find the memes and posts funny.
Oh, I'm sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.
Say that to [email protected]
More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.
They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.
Oh yes daddy, do me harder!
This is what Arch Linux would say
.... most just lie there bored out of their mind
Wait, what did you just call me? 😄
Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?
they lobbied congress
Congress is the brothel.
snort
To be fair... There are too many in a brothel...
Right... Nobody ever complained
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 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
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.
Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.
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!!!!
........but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!!
people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux
Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it's not like they went out and specifically 'learned Windows'. Most people just don't give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.
For the other 4% of people, there's Linux!
Sometimes baiting is just too easy
The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.
If you are bothered by those complaints, try Arch.
Lol... I was a religious Arch user for a long time. I miss running Linux as my primary OS in s lot of ways, although when I do it again it'll be an ephemeral distro, but I had to get things done and the support and prioritization of apps that make me productive right isn't there. I don't blame open source developers though but large software companies that deprioritize and fudge cross platform software.
Despite Microsoft having done some contribution to open source, their culture is still very toxic and counterproductive. Graphics card makers have also intentionally locked vGPU support for consumers, almost like they're intentionally preventing efficient Windows on Linux support.
