I'm here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That's frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

People around here really love Linux.
Not saying it's a bad thing. Linux is great.
But people around here reeeealy love Linux.
Mmmm fuck yeah Linux so good π«π¦
What a lovely day on the Inter...
GOOD LORD
Try using Linux, if you don't already. You'll understand. π¦
I use Linux, but not getting horny. It's an operating system after all. For me the best part is the command line package install. Windows also have one, called "winget".
Winget certs break more often than not. Scoop.sh is better, although Windows sucks in general.
Thanks for the reference !
I really really reaaheeeheeheeheely love Linux. But the rest shouldn't be an ass about it. Even though it is superior (my opinion) there is plenty of OS'es to go around for everyone. And to each their own.
The choice of an OS doesn't give anyone permission to be smug and condenscending.
By the way I use whatever works at the moment.
Hey, you schmuck! You don't get to dictate what I can be smug and condescending about! My distro is better than yours, and you will hear about it!
IMO, Linux users (myself among them, fwiw) are broadly less insufferable now that Windows shat the bed so hard and replacing/upgrading machines became unaffordable.
I see a lot less "only rubes use Windows, I run Linux π" attitudes and more "Linux gave me my computer back" which reconverted me after a long Linux hiatus sparked by impossible driver puzzles on a busted netbook in the early 2010s.
Every machine in my home runs CachyOS and it removed stress from our lives. Windows at this point is like a neglectful ex, and KDE the new partner that treats me right π
Hell yeah. I help by directing people to FOSS variants of things they need. That and some general Linux administering / bash stuff.
Help others and regain our computation back. For games and memes.
And decentralized online infrastructure
I don't like to think of it as not having a home, more like home is everywhere.
Think about it as you can leave a bad landlord or bad housemates without leaving your friends and communities
If Linux is so great why does my laptopβs Nvidia graphics card not Just Workβ’ out of the box?
