Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.
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.
Hey baby, I got all the distros and we can try them all, all night long.
Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈
Even gentoo. Its so quaint and quirky.
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
More like going into a church and complaining there are too many hookers
I dunno man, you might be right cuz you’d probably be told to pipe it down
More like going into a church and complaining that there are too many pedophiles.
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.
Yeah, your’s is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they’re drunk but thank god they’re not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.
Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS
Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.
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.
even though you’re not there for service
I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?
Why come to lemmy if you’re not down for linux?
I dunno, maybe the brothel gas a restaurant with a good prime rib special.
Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.
Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.
This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.
…except this isn’t explicitly a Linux website. Sure, it’s probably run by people who use it extensively and populated mostly by people who use it at least regularly… but it’s in no way a Linux dealership. I came here specifically because it wasn’t trying to sell me something.
If you’re trying to say that’s not the case, and that the fediverse only exists as a mechanism to sell people on linux… it might be time to give up on it, I suppose.
Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.
I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.
I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.
It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.
They’re escorts. They’re only hookers when they’re dead.
“Companions”
Escorts 🍷
It gives a whole new meaning to my buddy’s Ford escort.
I run both. everyone hates me :')

Lindows
Yeah I remember this. Though I thought it was even older than 2011. But maybe I’m confusing this with some redhat/fedora based distro some hardware manufacturer was shipping OEM with their x86 desktops around 2007. Can’t think of the name. But anyway that page you link shows an update from just last month. Though it sounds like it’s written by a bot. I’d wonder if it’s full of Chinese malware.
Brothix? Linal?
You run Linux in a brothel?
He runs a brothel on Linux.
That’s just Linux with extra steps
They have great “up time”.

Well friend, it’s a good thing you don’t use a Mac, then.
Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit
You must not browse All much then. There’s a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn’t very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.
Ah maybe I blocked them a long time ago because I haven’t seen it. What’s not to like about Linux?? I don’t even use Linux but I find the memes and posts funny.
if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days
Say that to [email protected]
what’s so bad about linux

I disagree because I’d still be having a good time at the brothel.

Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?
And escorts?

I can’t believe my sleep addled brain read this as “e-scorts” like it was some new gaming thing.
Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for “eScorts: Uber for hookers”.
How quickly can you write up a proposal? We can have GPT get us a mockup of the ui by tomorrow and be ready for production by Friday…
Did I say all of that correctly?
Just throw in AI there and we’re good!
I like the idea of pronouncing it hook-ai-rs just for the implications on Ubers becoming u-bears.
“U-bears for hook-ai-rs” makes me chuckle. It’s just the right amount of churches up.

It’s more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it’s a brothel.
Lol, far more accurate
