Hey buddy, Linux is cool AF you should try it.
Can you share examples of this happening?
(I mean, obviously this thread has lots of “you should use Linux”'s in it, but those are clearly satirical.)
lol was this sarcasm? This has to be sarcasm.
i can but i don’t want to :)
browse any OS related post under c/all, they will find you
You complain about OS recomendations under OS related posts?
no i complain about the same annoying comments posted where they are not asked for.
I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it’s pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It’s a pretty common occurrence, however.
Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying “you should use wsl2.”

You really really shouldn’t. It sucks in a number of ways neither Windows nor Linux do by themselves.
It definitely has many compromises and I wouldn’t use it for hosting something in production or something like that. (Is that something people do?) It is situationally very useful though, usually for things I used to spin up a VM for. I’m happy to have it available as a tool when I need to use Windows.
I should use linux

Use Temple OS
how do you know i don’t?
It’s not whether you do or you don’t. You should.
Because you seem to have networking capabilities
Whenever I read that joke I get sad. His pictures on the Wiki article from 1990 and from 2000 tells one everything.
(If anyone wonders: Yes, I am great at parties.)
I was lucky to be in a few companies that enforce win, Linux and Mac laptops.
In the win company (a pretty big one, everyone has heard of it), they’ve given me Think pad T14 that had an i3 proc that was falling behind 3 generations.
In the Linux company they’ve supplied me with a disgusting chromebook, “because everything in the cloud now”. Discussed ByOD, worked from my own one.
In the most recent company - the smallest one I’ve been working in, they’ve given me a decent M1 Pro with 16 Gb.
So at least, companies that enforce Mac will give you a decent machine to work on.
This is why a prefer Mac shops. It’s kinda hard to buy a current Mac and have the stats be actual dogshit.
I swear most windows shop try to find the shittiest machine that even qualifies as a laptop then load it with so much corpo wear that even Outlook sends the machine into thermal limiting
8GB of RAM is a dog shit spec
No it isn’t.
I mean, I’d want more, but for 99% of employees it’s fine.

What’s the source for this data?
Shit talk
Yes it is. Just run Teams and you’re done.

Gives one huge reason that is bigger than all those other reasons combined why Linux is just a not an option what so ever
You perfectly demonstrated why people will never listen to you. Think about it, you’ll get it.
not the scenario i am representing, but thank you for your judgemental and condescending comment 👍
You should use Unix
And feed those SUS bastards? Nah, thanks.
macOS is certified UNIX
Totally understandable. Haven’t used windows at all, home or work, in at least a decade. However, I went through my insufferable Linux zealot phase about 15 years ago.
I was an annoying judgemental ass, but I got better.
Me at 16, shitting on people who use OSX (iOS wasn’t a thing then)
Now me: oodles of Windows machines, three Linux machines, a Mac laptop, and an iPhone because fuck dealing with custom ROMs
proud of you for your growth, and more than that, your willingness to admit so aloud 🙇♀️ 👑
That’s not to say that I still don’t honestly consider Linux a better option in most use cases. I just don’t generally wade in past the most simple explanations of stuff.
If people want to switch, they will. I’ve realized I’m not doing anyone any favours by being pushy.
100% with you
Did you know every time you download chrome a Hitler gets his wings?
I have so many questions about this pantheon you believe in.
Infinite universes, infinite Hitler’s. And Chrome powers them all.
But why would Hitler get angel wings.
Wait, no, please don’t answer that, you know some idiot Nazi out there has made a picture of Hitler as a winged angel…
And the name of that idiot Nazi??
Chrome
posts problem inherent to an os
people recommend an alternative
surprised pikachu face
Use GNU/Linux :)
I don’t know why people like to complain but not do anything about it when they can do something.
“I hate Windows shoving ads down my throat” use GNU/Linux.
“Adobe is so expensive and predatory” use the plethora of free software alternatives
Etc
Don’t enable these mega-corps to push the envelope instead don’t engage with their products in the first place.
And someone, please go help with development of one of the OSS CAD applications.
AutoCAD was really good, but we need something in that space, worth talking about for Linux.so did you read the post or nah
Anyone got a good FOSS alternative to Adobe Illustrator? I like Photopea as a Photoshop alternative.
Inkscape, you can check: https://github.com/scholablade/Deadobe
Thank you! I’ll give it a shot. I regularly use illustrator and Photoshop for work and I’m really looking for more lightweight programs for personal use.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Fuck you and your stupid code, man! You fucking fucktard cannot distinguish a ; from a :! I do not care how fucking unpaid you loser are, get. this. code. right. Now fuck off!
- Word of our Lord and Saviour
He do be right
I quote this every day
He works in a mysterious way
Amen
"fuck you nvidia 🖕 "
I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.
We need Linus to fly to Africa and ride on a wildebeast. There’s just no other way to achieve world peace.
Cool, tomorrow is my turn to make this kind of post
Wow six downvotes, I assume by microsoft
Is there a sign up sheet or something for that? I don’t want to miss out on getting a turn.
sounds good have fun

👍
Should at least give it a try
I use arch btw
OMG! Like, you should, like, totally become, like, vegan! 👁️🫦👁️
I’m an arch vegan btw
OK, last question. Do you use ballpoint pens or fountain pens?
Blood of the Ub*ntu users
I’ve been enjoying Pop OS myself
Pop is nice! I’m waiting for cosmic!
