Switch to Linux!

Yeah, if Linux wants to become an alternative OS for average folks, its users need to stop being so evangelical and obnoxious. I'm sure there are linux users who don't blow goats, they're just not on lemmy, or they're keeping quiet.
I'm sorry but that makes no sense. However much you may think Linux users are annoying, marketing and word of mouth are what drive popular choices. If nobody ever brings up something, then average folks will never even know it exists.
That was literally how Apple became as big as it is. They created an ecosystem that encourages evangelism and outs people's personal choices (green bubble vs blue bubble for example) while also making it intentionally difficult to mix and match outside of the ecosystem. Obviously it's not a 1:1 comparison but it's an example of a successful competitor to the market leader and how it keeps itself relevant.
And you people are doing a great job driving people away from Linux.
Stop. They just don't get it.
As much as I want the user base to grow so companies feel obligated to support the platform, I don't really personally want to support many people re-learning how to use their computers
Linux is a bunch of code. It doesn't want anything.
Oh no I'm right here.
Me too brother.
Same, friends. I don't care what operating system people use, as long as Valve keeps supporting Proton and making it possible for me to game and therefore stick with Linux.
