Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers : showerthoughts

Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

You must not browse All much then. There's a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn't very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.

They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.

Oh yes daddy, do me harder!

This is what Arch Linux would say

.... most just lie there bored out of their mind

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

To be fair... There are too many in a brothel...

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Right... Nobody ever complained

When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is "windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit" linux users are going to reply with "use Linux".

It's like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

So where do those of us who don't think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Probably not in the metaphorical brothel.

[-] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though...

At the hospital on 100% copium ventilators.

[-] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I'm sorry, I don't get it. For what are we coping?

[-] parpol@programming.dev -2 points 6 hours ago

Microsoft just recently implemented a screenshot spyware on your computer and an AI with the widest attack surface for hackers ever on your OS and mixed it into your most basic tool, the file explorer, then blocked off a quarter of all users for using 2-5 year old hardware, instead of implementing software fixes to avoid hardware vulnerabilities.

It then forced you to use a closed source hardware component that likely has a backdoor, to store all your encryption keys, required you to make a Microsoft account just to use your PC, and then use that account to spy on your every move both online and offline. It is a privacy nightmare.

It then keeps overriding your default settings to make you to use Microsoft products over other ones, and have started baking in ads into various menues.

If you still don't think that makes it the worst OS, you're obviously coping. I have used Linux, Windows, and Mac, and out of those three, Windows is at the very bottom.

I don't come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users.......I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.

How is that too many Linux users???

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like "ACTUALLY IT'S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!"

Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can't turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.

......and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it's core concepts and user culture.

Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!!

........but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!!

The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

If you are bothered by those complaints, try Arch.

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Lol... I was a religious Arch user for a long time. I miss running Linux as my primary OS in s lot of ways, although when I do it again it'll be an ephemeral distro, but I had to get things done and the support and prioritization of apps that make me productive right isn't there. I don't blame open source developers though but large software companies that deprioritize and fudge cross platform software.

Despite Microsoft having done some contribution to open source, their culture is still very toxic and counterproductive. Graphics card makers have also intentionally locked vGPU support for consumers, almost like they're intentionally preventing efficient Windows on Linux support.
