>>
>>108445969
My 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.
>>

>>108445969
I 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?
>>
>>108446139
i notice far more hate for windows coming from windows users than anybody else, actually, so no not really
>>
>>108446139
desu 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

>so no not really
I'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.
>>108446157
There 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.

are 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?

>>108445969
>why do people become obsessed with hating linux

1. 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.

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.

Come 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.

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???

google sheets is right there and more useful than outdated microslop proprietary product. libreoffice calc is also right there

no 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.

Not an acceptable replacement. It's available on Windows too (of course), but does not meet my needs.

I hear nothing but complaints from Nvidia users, in any case desktop linux is never treated as the first class.

If you look up rent-free in the dictionary, you'll find a a picture of bill gates living rent free in freetards' heads.
