Yes, go to the linuxsucks community. Seems like one guy spends all his time making anti-linux propaganda. If you point out the misinformation portions he bans you.

The idea of that is actually quite funny. A grown up who is actually that petty unironically.

That's dumb. It's a fucking computer. If you're able to use it, who cares. If people use a different system who fucking cares? It doesn't affect anyone but yourself.

Microsoft and Apple are steering the computing space in a very anti-consumer space. So for many people, it is more than just an OS, but an ethical statement.

The less people use Windows and MacOS, the less sway they have in the computing space.

So Linux is just computer hipsterism?

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it hipster to advocate for mega corpo to fuck off?

Not sure how you got this from my reply, but mega corpos influence our life for the worst. Trying to diminish their influence in our life isn't hipsterism.

[–] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure they do, but an OS isn't influencing your life compared to Meta or any of the media conglomerates.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It does though because a higher marketshare means more money for them. And if they have almost all the marketshare, they can influence the market easily (see Google and Web Manifest V3).

If people don't use Windows for example, chances are they won't buy Office365 and/or OneDrive.

And that doesn't even broach how Microsoft tried to deploy Recall, which was taking a screenshot of what people were doing every few seconds, a major breach of privacy.

So they might not influence people as much as Meta for example, but it does influence them.
