C'mon, us linux users do the inverse all the time...

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 1 points 2 minutes ago

How dare you come at me with self awareness!!

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 hours ago

That's okay because unlike Windows, Linux isn't guilty of market capture, adware, spyware, bloat, and any number of other things that are wrong with windows.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 hours ago

It happens when MS does something that annoys their userbase. Then Linux nerds jump in and tell how much Linux is better.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 80 points 5 hours ago (8 children)

Literally any time Windows is mentioned

You see shit, you clean it up, plain-as.

[–] boboliosisjones@feddit.nu 60 points 5 hours ago

no we don't also windows is stupid you should install gentoo

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 27 points 5 hours ago

Every time Windows is mentioned it's somebody complaining about some hostile thing that Linux doesn't do...

So yeah.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 5 points 3 hours ago

I was bitching about a shitty Windows thing to a happy Windows user just this afternoon.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Windows?? You just need to bring up Gnome

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

you just did 🤮

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world -4 points 3 hours ago

It's not the same, when you are the minority/counter culture, you are allowed to advocate for yourself.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 27 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

That's not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.

[–] ekky@sopuli.xyz 30 points 5 hours ago

Fewer than 19*

I've converted to Linux since.

[–] TheDuke@europe.pub 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is - most windows user don't even know Linux exists...

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Most Windows users don't know Windows exist.

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 1 points 24 minutes ago

i've run across some people around here who i would never have guessed knew about linux.. and not only did they know--they ran it. and yea, more than one was 'i use arch btw'.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Used and supported Windows for over 30 years at this point. I've NEVER been a fan, and started looking into Linux back in '99. It wasn't ready back then, but two decades later and it seems like Linux does everything except anti-cheat, which I have no use for, better than Windows ever did.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 10 points 4 hours ago

If I didn't have to use windows for work...

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I have never gone to look for a windows community, is there one?

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

On the fediverse?!

Good luck with that.

Every post would be negative

[–] axo10tl@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Not anymore. It was embraced, extended and extinguished.

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 hours ago

We don't really do the same thing, because Microsoft is forced upon us every step of the way.

[–] Bonje@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Yes. Because we want native support from apps. Windows has the market share to not care. Linux is getting there but is nowhere near to even macOS.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 4 hours ago

I don't use Arch, by the way.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 6 points 5 hours ago

My theory is you are a Windows user wearing a mask.
