Maybe stop telling people what OS to use? Even if I would have ever considered switching to linux, its users are so god damn annoying that I would never do so now
I would never do so now
Oh no... We'll never recover from this. In Russian we say: "назло маме отморожу уши". In English that translates to "to spite my mom, I'll freeze my ears off." This expression is used to describe a situation where someone does something harmful or foolish to themselves in an attempt to rebel against or annoy someone else, despite the action being against their own best interests.
In 'Murucan we say "He'd cut off his nose to spite his face."
In English too.
Maybe stop telling people what comment to post? Even if I would have ever considered posting something else, this reply is so god damn annoying that I'm going to post a linux comment now.
doing something against better judgement out of stubbornness harms no one but yourself. be my guest...
Of course Linux users are annoying, who isn't sometimes? Promoting this self-own mindset isn't good for you or other users. Is good for Microsoft however..
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.
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.
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
It's usually the loud minority you hear, as with anything.
