Nah, as a Windows user on the topic of Linux here in the fediverse I'll be totally honest: I mostly just feel like I'm looking at and a bit wishing I was smart and savvy and motivated enough to be one of the cool kids, but after my last disastrous attempt at switching (because apparently my video card just isn't supported I guess? whatever, I'm not looking for tech support here) I'm just happy enough to be at the cool punk party instead of predatory frat party (reddit, twitter, take your pick of corporate shithole) where I'm likely to get roofied.

Yeah, it's Windows users going out and proudly exclaiming their love. Definitely never heard a Linux user bitch about another OS.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

This has to be intentionally dense shit to trigger ACHKTUALLY type engagement right?

[โ€“] lemongarlic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Windows users don't think about or even realize that other operating systems exist

[โ€“] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Or they value an os that works out of the box with the vast majority of hardware. Even valve and steamos is on proprietary hardware has a ton of issues. Windows is God awful but I didn't have to run a script on every boot up to set my HDMI device as a default. Or have to reboot my device every time I turn off my TV because HDMI can't connect. And none of my controllers, 8bitdo, ps5ds, xbox360, work wirelessly without latency issues ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

The stubbornness of the community to acknowledge this continues to hamper improving the situation.

I give money and use bazzite+ my steam deck to support foss, but I'm not blind to the numerous issues that need to be fixed before Linux is less ignored.

[โ€“] lemongarlic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Most people are also just not going to bother changing their OS lol. Most steam deck users are using Linux and most PC users are using windows.

I think it's like why people don't change the engine in their car, sure you could could get a better one but most people are happy with their engine and don't want to mess with it

[โ€“] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You've never been to a LAN party when those where bigger. Completely unprompted, windows users will shit on mac and linux users.

[โ€“] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour ago

You are barking up the wrong tree. mohaa, dota (the mod) big game hunters, ns, cs (again before the stand alone or steam).

You're friends were correct back then. Linux was mostly worthless unless it was your job. Triple so for gaming.

[โ€“] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

My only remaining real problems are:

  • The community often pushing more "elitist" solutions over easier ones, see all the Vim fanboys.
  • Coming from the aforementioned issue, your only viable debugger is either GDB with its obtuse TUI or some GUI hackjob on top of that.

This comic is about LGBTQI+

[โ€“] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 3 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

What the fuck does the threadiverse even want for itself? Do you see yourself as an enshittification-resistant replacement for Reddit, or a communist Linux forum? This comic only makes sense if it's the latter.

[โ€“] CallMeAl@piefed.world 9 points 2 hours ago

Could that be a bit of a hasty reduction to make based on one post in a shitpost comm?

[โ€“] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You do realize you can just walk to another stall, right?

[โ€“] rhymeswithduck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 28 minutes ago

Not when all the stalls are just different flavors of Linux!

Sir, this is a shitpost community.

[โ€“] gray@lemmy.ml 170 points 7 hours ago (15 children)

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

How dare you come at me with self awareness!!

[โ€“] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 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.

[โ€“] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Exactly, never complain. We lead the way to a better future.

[โ€“] village604@adultswim.fan 90 points 7 hours ago (10 children)

Literally any time Windows is mentioned

[โ€“] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 points 1 hour ago

I promote linux, not complain about windows, every time someone has a an enshitification problem, which is incredibly common now.

[โ€“] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 58 minutes ago

windows ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 hours ago

windows ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] boboliosisjones@feddit.nu 66 points 7 hours ago

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

[โ€“] marcos@lemmy.world 28 points 6 hours ago

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

So yeah.

[โ€“] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

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

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

[โ€“] ekky@sopuli.xyz 32 points 7 hours ago

Fewer than 19*

I've converted to Linux since.

The threadiverse is not a Linux stall.

[โ€“] tomi000@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Quite literally the opposite of reality. Good shitpost.

At this point, itโ€™s just insecurity about stuff not working right on Windows now.


To that point:

At the moment, on my dual boot desktop, hardware acceleration and video playback are busted in Chromium browsers on Windows. But it works perfectly fine in Wayland linux. And I donโ€™t really know why.

This is fascinating to me, as the situation was reversed about a year ago.

And if I were Windows only, without years of experience under the belt to make Linux seem less daunting, Iโ€™d be feeling anxious about that.

Not that Iโ€™m a Linux fanboy: Windows is just better for some specific things. But still, Iโ€™m not going to either OS booth to complain.

[โ€“] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 25 points 7 hours ago

My favorite thing is going onto the community for a game that explicitly supports linux with a problem just to have a bunch of replies to install windows from random chuds.
