Anyone else find it bizarre how much Linux is being pushed on every tech forum right now? Why are so many linux users invested in making everyone else switch? Furthermore, pushback is often met with brigades of insane insults, and valid critiques are often deleted by moderators. Even on /g/, I've received a ban last month for critiquing linux. You will find the shills always repeating the same lines "enshitification", "respecting your freedoms", "microslop". Perhaps there is truth to these, but in reality, Windows does actually work well enough for most people, improvements are needed for sure, but that solution is not always linux. Sometimes I think a person with one windows problem will have ten more on a linux distro.

You will also notice that they have no interest in BSD as an alternative, in fact the BSDs seem to make the rabid penguins even more annoyed than Windows.

What 'forums' even exist and are worth posting on in 2026. OP smells like BS. There's just a record number of people leaving windows right now. Most of are switching to mac. Some to Linux.

why are you gay?

So? Windows is being pushed by every OEMs and I don't see much people whine over it.

Anyone else find it bizarre how fast the freedom respecting anti enshittification anti totalitarian microslop bullshit os just cucked to some random laws in brazilistan and commiefornia or wherever? Yea.

Forum in the colloquial sense for any textbox on the internet that serves as a platform for a linux zealot to proselytize their OS/religion.
>>108474930
Well, somehow a lot the new crop seem to hate GNU.

>>108474905
Windows is this bad right now
>>
>>108474905
windows is sucking bad enough to get people to stop using it
enough retards have gained basic computer literacy and ricing is now easy enough these retards can do it en masse
way more aesthetics trannies who arent satisfied by doing things on their computer, but need to invent tedious tasks to keep themselves occupied
linux has gotten actually usable in the last 6 years or so. especially le video games.
lots of dumbass influencers have talked about it too. even pewdiepie who is unironically south of 95 iq installed LE ARCH and made a video bragging about how even his retarded ass could pull it off.

those are my estimations anyway

Linux has experienced a Maoist cultural revolution enforced by the Red(hat) Guards. The purges will result in the death of the "Four Olds"
>Rust killed C (old ideas)
>COC killed Netiquette (old culture)
>MIT killed GPL (old customs)
>systemd killed previous init systems (old habits)

>>108476321
Lmao. I hate the Rust/MIT rewrites so much. GPL got me into Linux. I'm afraid, because I feel like with AI the rewrites will be a much bigger problem

GPL is a terrible jewish license.
fuck the gpl seriously, it only benefits megacorps and harms society.
>>
>>108476429
I think you are talking about MIT and BSD
>>
>>108476515
nope, i'm talking about GPL, it only benefit megacorps and if you don't understand how you still have quite a bit of thinking to do.

I've been on Linux just over a year now. After a month I reformatted all my storage disks to not use NTFS and Windows is completely gone from my PCs.
Linux made using my computer fun again. KDE plasma gets meaningful updates that I look forward to

all modern 'operating systems' windows 11, linux, macos are always connected portal, spyware and adware subscription platforms. All equally shit and unpivate, insecure and shit

Where on earth can such a drooling imbecile be found? Installing linux involves clicking next a dozen times. Using Linux involves double clicking on firefox or libre office.

>Inb4 what about my fortnite?
Grow up

>>108474905
it's being pushed because it's easier to insert spyware into an open codebase, look at how fast it was to start implementing age verification

>Installing linux involves clicking next a dozen times.
Except when it forgets to create a small partition to store whatever thing it needed and didn't tell you, and crashes at every start with no explanation.
>Using Linux involves double clicking on firefox or libre office.
and type lines in the terminal every time you want to do anything, because it's more convenient than having simple buttons to click...
>>
>>108476835
Linux users only seem prominent because everything that actually matters is done on linux. All servers, all research, all AI, all big data computional work, etc. All Linux. Basically everything that isn't entertainment, scamming CIOs with enterprise garbage, and gatekeeping users with mind control guis, is done on Linux.

So because Linux is more important for technology, it's overrepresented in tech forums.

maybe microshart shouldn't have shat the bed that hard
all they had to do was their regular pace and everything would be fine now
instead you get fucking copilot and electron apps that they're backpedaling from now

Apple and Microsoft has motivation to spam anti-Linux, anti-FOSS and anti-freedom propaganda 24/7. People like us don't have any motivation to spam. There is also more of these non-tech-savvy "power user" Windows and macOS slaves who were butthurt because they couldn't learn Linux at work or even at school. They were humiliated and showed that they don't have any skills and they are not even worth to employ.

This is usually the reason why they spam anti-Linux threads 24/7. They are mad like a person who wanted to learn a language but failed because they are low iq, lazy, and retarded. They were humilated by people who learned multiple languages. They use rest of their life, crying in the youtube comments how some polyglot "has an accent", "can't actually say a word correctly", "he doesn't actually speak that good".

While that’s all true, usually no one cared to convince people to use it for a desktop, yet if you look at some place like X, Reddit, etc, you really do see an uptick of evangelism. I’m not sure it’ll translate into any substantial gains for regular users, and I doubt it ever will.
>>
>>108480802
Linux desktop shilling is 20+ years old. It's always been there and it's always been driven by Microsoft being evil.

>crying in the youtube comments how some polyglot "has an accent"
How’s the weather in Mumbai, saar? Also, please, please stop associating using linux in and of itself with having a high IQ, conceited midwits do this when they want some sort of praise for a false accomplishment. That isn’t to say linux isn’t used for some high IQ projects, naturally.
