    Frankly, I don’t have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it’s preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don’t have a desire to care.

      I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

      Second.

      That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

        On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).

        I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.

      I think the biggest problem is the fact that it is a three-pronged Choice.

      Where two of them are fighting each other to become the biggest dumpster fire and the last one is just trying to function.

      Its like the American political system. 😂

      I get that the preaching comes off as printing, but how is Linux not a perfect alternative?

        Try to run photoshop or 3dsMax on linux. It just doesn’t work

        Krita and Gimp are maaaaaybe up to the job if I invest enough time but blender is clearly not a replacement for 3dsmax.

          What’s that got to do with Linux? That’s a Photoshop or 3dsMax problem. There’s nothing about Linux getting in the way. It’s Adobe telling you no. Your dependence on Adobe isn’t a Linux problem.
