why do people become obsessed with hating linux? if you don't like it for whatever reason, don't use it. i don't understand why subs like /r/linuxsucks exist. it just comes off as rent free.
>using redditgo back
>>108445969Social signalling.
>>108445969I didn't know /r/linuxsucks existed until you told me about it, please stop using reddit, and possibly 4chan as well
>>108445976>>108445996i came across it while searching for something different, since reddit results are usually the first that come up on search engines now. how did you magically come to the conclusion that i use it or have an account?
>>108446001i give you a warning normalfaggot leave this board now and never let me catch you use reddit again, now vamanos!!
>>108445969people in r/linuxsucks don't hate linux, most of them use linux. where people really hate linux is in r/linuxsucks101
>>108445969My take is that since Linux is FOSS, it has no advertising budget. You don't see Linux stickers on Formula 1 cars and soccer jerseys like you do for Windows and Apple. It relies exclusively on word-of-mouth. I'm always shocked at how many people still hold stereotypes from the 2000s that Linux is nothing but console commands.
>>108446038101 seems like it's one guy, and most of his posts are written by AI. >>108445969I don't think many people really "hate" the OS, but rather they hate the type of rabid fan who preaches benefits yet doesn't really know much about the system themselves. You've all seen the type, and they're usually incoherently babbling about Windows. Notice that Torvolds rarely ever mentions Windows?
>>108446139i notice far more hate for windows coming from windows users than anybody else, actually, so no not really
>>108446139desu the type of people that frequent those I HATE LINUX subs are the ones that installed linux for 5 minutes, got filtered by the terminal and then proceeded to cry about how "nothing works" ad infinitum. it's all sour grapes. and this is coming from somebody who switched to linux after using windows for 30 years
>>108446139>Notice that Torvolds rarely ever mentions Windowsnigga this is a nothingburger, he's not an "influencer" and he's too busy reviewing patches to yap about silly things like os wars
>>108445969The irony of you making this thread
>>108446165Where is the irony?
>>108446154>so no not reallyI'm talking people that purportedly hate linux, typically it's not the system, but the rabid new-convert fanboy that people hate. And these zealots who have been using linux for 5 mins want to preach it to the world, usually doing so while babbling terms like "microslop" and "winblows". Those people are annoying. Nothing in this statement would contradict that most of the anti-windows hatred would come from the windows crowd, that would only be logical, that group is more likely to run into issues and care about having them heard. >>108446157There are high IQ linux fans, and low IQ linux fans. The smart ones are usually actually working on the system, the low IQ retards (many here, probably in this thread) cry about microsoft.
>>108446231Ok
>>108446236>The smart ones are usually actually working on the systemare you saying all high iq linux users work on the kernel or contributing/improving parts of userland? or that high iq users dont take any leisure time where they might like to spend posting on online forums?either take is retarded
>>108445969>Why do people criticize XYZ, it must be because they hate it!Yeah can't be because they want it improved.
>>108446262You need to work on your reading comprehension.
>>108446272no, you need to work on your writing/critical thinking skills. what you wrote makes no sense
>>108446049>I'm always shocked at how many people still hold stereotypes from the 2000s that Linux is nothing but console commands.>>108446156>ones that installed linux for 5 minutes, got filtered by the terminal and then proceeded to cryKek.
>>108446286>what you wrote makes no senseBecause you're an idiot. I imagine this is true for quite a number of things.
>>108446292i accept your concession
>>108445969>i don't understand why subs like /r/linuxsucksIt's jealousy of the tech competent by the technically inept.
>>108445969It pisses me off because of the one friend in the group who has Linux can't play fucking ANYTHING
>>108446339He probably can and is just using linux as an excuse to not do so
>>108446318Imagine thinking running linux makes you technically competent. There are lintards who just rice their desktop, there's nothing clever about that.
>>108446339i play everything except tranny games with Kerbal anticheats. your friend just hates you
>>108446339why don't you join him? then there won't be a single game that you can play and he cant
>>108446373It really does. I always have to help my friends, even on windows... or with steam deck shit
>>108446373how is ricing your desktop not clever? you need all sorts of knowledge to make it look halfway decent
>>108446435Amongst tech savy people, no one is impressed; I'm sorry. >>108446456Peak midwit.
>>108446495only a midwit himself would write something this blazingly edgy and lack the self awareness to realize he is so unbelievably cringe and not halfway hear as smart as he perceives himself.
>>108446520Holy crash out. You throwing a wobbler?
>>108445969nobody "hates linux", they hate the transsexuals who took over linux, code nothing, and use it to push political agendasthe fact that you're trying to conflate this shows that you are part of t he problem
>>108445969>why do people become obsessed with hating linux1. Because the userbase is so sensitive. They have a meltdown when I point out a single DE can't natively show image thumbails in file browser, for example when selecting an image for 4chan. 2. They pretend they aren't stuck in the past but get pissy if you call XFCE4 a relic. If you point out that systemd is simply a better more modern solution, they get angry without being able to give one practical reason why init is better. All you get are conspiracy theories.3. The only reason it has use in servers or for that matter anywhere else is because it's free. It's not enterprise grade really like we saw with the ssh vulnerability and other severe security issues. The reason people can't protestand switch platforms is because Windows Server isn't free. Bean counters will always run big IT.
>>108445969>i don't understand why subs like /r/linuxsucks exist. it just comes off as rent free./r/linuxsucks doesn't even fucking let you criticize Linux without getting downvoted to hell It really does seem like that Linux is just a one giant toxic positive echo chambers
>>108446495>I'm sorry.How would you know?
>>108446936For the real hate sub you want linuxsucks101.https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxsucks101/comments/1rad8jp/article_compilation_for_the_scholarly_viewer/Sometimes they have valid critiques, mostly it's just making fun of linux cultists (hoppers, ricers, larpers). At least here you can call them retards and faggots, but you'll get auto-banned on reddit for that.
>>108446456>you need all sorts of knowledgeCome on mate, it's not exactly real PhD stuff there. It's a time-sink activity for spergs and something that I would call tech-adjacent, much like customizing mechanical keyboards. I guess if you're a nocoder, brainlet, or mathlet then it's a way for you to feel like you're part of the tech scene.
>>108447311don't use "mate" to try to sound more serious and less like you're baiting, it just makes you sound like an out of touch sperg.
>>108447319Where's the lie?
>>108445969>i don't understand why subs like /r/linuxsucks exist. it just comes off as rent free.because triggering people on the internet is entertaining, obviously?
>>108446236"Those people" might not even exist. I certainly don't see people who fit that criteria with any regularity.
>>108445969This is why
>>108445969Contrarianism, or jeets mad that people are moving away from windows now that they've taken control of it.
>>108446634>Because the userbase is so sensitive.It's just fun, right? I don't actually hate it. I like the general idea. I'm still waiting for the Year of the Linux Desktop. Maybe in the next 20 years.
>>108447673Leave Windows because of Jeets, get chased away from FOSS because they're anti-racist. You can't win.
guys i'm new to linux i'm using mint and i really like it so far but i'm already feeling a scratch to switch to something else. there's no good reason for even wanting to do so i'm just getting FOMO. how do i stop this???
>>108447750You'll hop for a while and return to windows, everyone does it.
>>108446634But XFCE4 IS a relic.That's why I like it. That's why I use it.
>>108446366i used to do this
>>108447791there is basically no reason to ever return to windows unless you're playing some faggy game with kernal anti-cheat or you need the entire Adobe™ Creative Cloud suite. otherwise why would anybody ever bother wasting their time returning to it?
>>108448050Excel, proprietary software for windows, just works, no driver fuss, professional. Gee I wonder why people don’t choose your tinker-tranny hobby OS?
Servers: FreeBSDDesktop: Windows Laptop: MacOS or WindowsTablet: iPadOSWhat do I need linux for? Isn't that just a WSL2 app?
>>108448065>excelgoogle sheets is right there and more useful than outdated microslop proprietary product. libreoffice calc is also right there>just worksexcept it literally doesn't>no driver fussno driver fuss on linux either. choose a no fuss distro and you'll get a no fuss experience. mint comes with proprietary drivers on install.>professionalmeans nothingenjoy the slop as you get ass fucked by indians you incredibly enormous fag
>>108448065this. im a linux guy but yeah ive done enough fiddling with weird games/mods or certain software that doesnt like wine that linux isnt on my main desktop rig, i threw arch on an old desktop for fun and use a steamdeck though
>>108448106>google sheetsNot local. >microslopLow IQ detected>proprietary product.Pretty sure Google is proprietary>LO CalcNot an acceptable replacement. It's available on Windows too (of course), but does not meet my needs.>no driver fuss on linux eitherI hear nothing but complaints from Nvidia users, in any case desktop linux is never treated as the first class.>>professional means nothingTo you, I'm sure of it. >enjoy the slop as you get ass fucked by indians you incredibly enormous fagSeething incoherent babble.
>>108448158however, my install is a debloated ltsc just for consoomin and making music, bank and document shit get done on linux
>>108448164>Pretty sure Google is proprietaryNTA most of us don't use Google either. Was this supposed to mean something in your mind?
>>108448182Learn to read.
>>108448182>most of usYou speak for yourself, and only youself you retarded nigger faggot. Talking in the collective voice is reddit coded. Rope.
>>108445969As a former windows user, I've become addicted to Linux.
>>108445969aww did they hurt your feelings?
>>108448441yas slay kween. i don't care if someone has a phd in quantum nuclear physics i will still be smarter than them if they use windows because i am on superior linux
>>108448475You being a faggot means you obviously take things too far.
>>108448494you're just jealous because you cant use linux like me, stuck on windows lol? thats ok linux is for the elite. mac and windows is jeet slop for niggercattle like you.
why do people become obsessed with hating windows? if you don't like it for whatever reason, don't use it. i don't understand why subs like /r/linux exist. it just comes off as rent free.
>>108448533ThistbhfamalamThe techvegan screeching vs anti-techvgans on /g/ is 1000:1 heavily on the techvegan side.
>>108448508That's true but I don't know why you're talking like a pozzed retard?
the way micropeens are always screechy little bitches in these threads
>>108448508>>108448569perfect example of >>108448533OP is utterly delusional and projecting so hard
>>108448533>>108448540do you feel uncomfortable being around a superior specimen like me? is it because i use arch? >>108448565move your 2SLGBTQIA+ bigotry to /dev/null where it belongs NAZI MAGAtjust recompiled my kernel, got it super lean. what did you guys accomplish today?
>>108448065>ExcelTime to go to bed, grandpa.
>>108448585The Zoomer mind cannot comprehend the spreadsheet.
>>108445969Nobody hates linux more than linux users. Have you seen the shit we have to put up with?
>>108445969>it just comes off as rent free.If you look up rent-free in the dictionary, you'll find a a picture of bill gates living rent free in freetards' heads.Litearlly 99.999999999999% of windows discussion on /g/ is by seething freetards.Windows users barely acknowledge freetards' existence.
>>108448583Are you retarded? Or just low functioning autist? The sarcasm in >>108448508 is bleeding through the screen.
>>108448638how much do you get paid for this low effort shilling
>>108448644Well I’m glad someone noticed, was getting a bit worried. Honest opinion, I use Windows and Linux, but this type of poster >>108448106 if they weren’t larping, is actually the sort of lintard I hate. Uncompromisingly devoted and delusional.
>>108448652see >>108448533
>>108448729Why are you seething? Nothing about the post should have made you seethe this much.
>>108445969Paid shills
>>108448748Why are you seething? Nothing about the post should have made you seethe this much.
>>108448757Why does linux foundation spend 1000X more than MS on shills?
>>108448592Just use Python with Pandas instead of archaic spreadsheets.
>>108448769Is that a joke?
>>108448758Crazy how an innocent post that isn't even remotely shitting on Windows could make you spiral this hard. Consider touching grass.
>>108448799Crazy how an innocent OS that you don't even use could make you spiral this hard. Consider touching grass.
>>108445969CLAIM:>why do people become obsessed with hating linux?INDISPUTABLE FACT:lincels seethe about windows vs windows users seething at linux at a 10000:1 ratio on /g/if you don't like it for whatever reason, don't use it. i don't understand why your lincel seethe threads exist. it just comes off as rent free.
>>108445969>why do people become obsessed with hating linux?>it just comes off as rent free.The most tone deaf post in the entire history of /g/.
>>108447485This, no one has ever seen a linux evangelist, it’s pure fiction.
>>108449046The irony is that there truly exists lincels so delusional they would actually believe this to be reality. There's several in this very thread, including OP.
it's literally just for clout or to seem cool or whatever, people get insecure when they aren't with the majority
>>108449090No, this is an instance where a small group forms a persecution complex because they're the minority.
