this is the same corporate fueled viral joke as “vegans always telling everyone about being vegan”.
maybe if windows wasn’t a vibe coded, microslop, death-by-1,000-papercuts, spycrosoft, torment nexus, then nobody would feel the need to tell people about linux?
People walk around smashing themselves in the dick with a hammer, complain about the dick-smashing hammer, and lament the future dick-smashing hammer update, and the moment someone says, "Hey, have you tried these non-dick-smashing, hammer-free pants?" And they say, "Hahaha, do you also do CrossFit?"
This joke is stolen valor, I only just swapped to Linux like two days ago and I haven't had the opportunity to blurt it out to people yet.
as a long time linux user, nobody wants to try it unless they’re interested in programming or some highly technical thing….
and really that’s where windows wins.

One of my favorite jokes:
Q: A Vegan, a crossfit enthusiast, and a Linux user walk into a bar. How do we know?
A: They told every. Damn. Person. In the bar. Within 5 fucking minutes.
except it’s an unearned stereotype pushed by the corporations that lose money from people quitting meat and windows
i could tell you a lot of jokes based on stereotypes but i don’t want to spread fud.
also, i’ve never heard a single person talk about crossfit ever, but if they do, it’s probably because they enjoy it and want to tell you about things they have benefited from because they want you to be healthy and happier… not to gloat or whatever
The two people I know in real life who do cross fit talking it up constantly, and it's definitely to gloat. I've rarely heard people who are vegan bring it up. As for Linux evangelists I've been one since the late 90s.
If it's all the same person, which do they tell everyone about first?
this line of reasoning seems right to me. Well, if Windows didn't have all these problems, there wouldn't be as much need to migrate to another operating system
Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they've already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?
i get it but i have a dog and im still mad at you
