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

    If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.

    Then it would be like Lemmy.

    More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.

      I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.

      And I’ve also heard gaming can be complicated on Linux, whether or not that’s true.

        Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).

        Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

          I’m on Windows 10 currently, so not quite two versions behind, but I held onto XP and 7 for ages.

            Just keep in mind you have until Oct of next year to migrate. Either go for Windows 11, Linux or Mac OS.

            You can’t safely stay. Don’t sacrifice your own security because of some personal vendetta against Microsoft. Windows 11 is very similar to Windows 10.

          No idea what that is, but probably not. Pretty much just stuff from the Discover thing. The biggest thing is Blender, also from the Discover.

      Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.

    It’s contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It’s the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it’s a mild case. But there’s always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

    I don’t care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I’m in. Enjoying something is fine, but it’s best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.

      No it isn’t a thing, I’ve seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I’m pretty sure it’s either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint

        Complaining that linux sucks, and complaining that there are too many linux users is two vastly different things. I think linux sucks, but I also wish there were more users because then there would be more programs for it, and it would also be better.

          Yeah, I kind of agree here. I’d love to switch to Linux as my every day driver, but some things keep me tied to windows. Gaming is getting better on Linux by the day, but I still can’t use Ableton on Linux, and that’s basically a deal breaker for me. I think the newest Push has Linux support though, so who knows? Maybe one day.

    I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don’t like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That’s just obnoxious and exhausting.

    I don’t understand why anybody would complain about that. It’s like complaining that too many people wear jeans.

      Maybe because jeans wearers don’t spam up every thread about clothing with “JUST WEAR JEANS!”

        I’ve only been on lemmy for a short time but I haven’t seen any Linux users spamming any threads that way. This complaint is the first sign I’ve seen that anybody even has that idea. It reminds me of crusty old farts who see a gay character in a sitcom and say OMG it’s all about the gays now!!!

            I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I’ll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.

    Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?
