Or just use Bulk Crap Uninstaller

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I just bulk crap uninstalled windows and moved to Linux

[-] 1bluepixel@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Linux users truly are the vegans of the tech world.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ain't that the truth

They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux... At this point, It's endlessly annoying, as it's on literally every post about any operating system.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nearly every post is about Windows or MacOS yet when someone mentions Linux suddenly it's a problem?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Do you think people never hear about Windows, iOS, Android, etc?

I think you just get irrationally angry when people bring up something you don't use. We get it, you use Windows btw.

I find it kinda staggering you think it's not appropriate for someone to mention alternative OSes on a submission where people are criticising an OS lol.

Let's apply that thinking to another product: Samsung TV does bad thing. Do you think it would be inappropriate or unusual for commenters to mention that other TV brands exist? If not, then why is it different for this other tool?

It's not like there an infinite number of OSs. Unless you have a Mac the choice is basically Windows or Linux.
It's absolutely logical that any operating system post will have comments pushing Linux.

I hope that one day someone makes another better OS, because Linux is annoying as well. But until then you'll have to suffer these comments.

Meantime, the BSD crowd: "am I a joke to you?"

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

In both cases, I've encountered a lot more people complaining about them than I have obnoxious Linux users or vegans

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

People actively seek out annoying people to justify themselves.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Must not be using your eyes much then, or you're just a bit selective about what you see.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds like some desperate projection to me lol

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We constantly hear about all the bad shit MS is doing, then somebody points out an alternative, and then people like you get pissed off about it. "NO. I don't want to hear about the alternatives! I'll stick to Microsoft, they'll stop their antics some day, I can fix ~~her~~ them ❤️"

Maybe if people don't want to hear about OS alternatives, they should stop complaining about the one they have?

I don't understand the anger that springs up when people say "this isn't an issue on Linux". If your washing machine kept leaking water all over your floor, and someone said "hey have you considered getting a different one?" it'd be insane to get angry at them for that, yet it happens all the time with OSes. It's just a tool. You don't owe allegiance to an OS.

That analogy about the washing machine doesn't quite work.

I cannot run applications that I rely on for my business on Linux. It is not even an option even if I wanted to.

The hassle of switching operating systems isnt problem, It's the lack of compatibility.

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then don't use Linux for that use case? Nobody is telling you to. I'm not trying to convert you.

I'm saying that people need to stop getting so upset when someone recommends tool B for job X when people complain about the issues with tool A.

If the people that use tool A are tired of hearing about how tool B doesn't have the issues they're facing with tool A, then maybe those people should stop publicly talking about those issues.

Vegans care about the well-being of other creatures, so that's actually a kind comparison.

Too kind for me. There would be more software made for me if others stopped letting proprietary software take advantage of them.

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

You must've kept the button pressed too long. Oh well.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I'm working on that
