Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Fuck you and your stupid code, man! You fucking fucktard cannot distinguish a ; from a :! I do not care how fucking unpaid you loser are, get. this. code. right. Now fuck off!
- Word of our Lord and Saviour
I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.

Totally understandable. Haven't used windows at all, home or work, in at least a decade. However, I went through my insufferable Linux zealot phase about 15 years ago.
I was an annoying judgemental ass, but I got better.
proud of you for your growth, and more than that, your willingness to admit so aloud πββοΈ π
That's not to say that I still don't honestly consider Linux a better option in most use cases. I just don't generally wade in past the most simple explanations of stuff.
If people want to switch, they will. I've realized I'm not doing anyone any favours by being pushy.
100% with you
Me at 16, shitting on people who use OSX (iOS wasnβt a thing then)
Now me: oodles of Windows machines, three Linux machines, a Mac laptop, and an iPhone because fuck dealing with custom ROMs
Did you know every time you download chrome a Hitler gets his wings?
I have so many questions about this pantheon you believe in.
Use Temple OS
Whenever I read that joke I get sad. His pictures on the Wiki article from 1990 and from 2000 tells one everything.
(If anyone wonders: Yes, I am great at parties.)
I use Arch btw.
my back arches btw /flirt
Lemmy ainβt gonna like this. Ainβt gonna like it one bit.
i get being passionate but when its every. single. comment. it gets exhausting.
itβs like if i went and commented βBE A VEGANβ under every picture of a burger on c/foodporn. like live your truth!!, but be decent about it for goodness sake.
I get it.
Im literally a Linux support guy for a living and even I think people can be obnoxious recommending Linux.
Donβt get me wrong, Iβll shit on Windows when I get the chance, but I get why people either have to use it or just donβt want the hassle of Linux.

IMO it's Redditor behavior. I hate Microsoft and Windows but there are some really annoying, overbearing Linux know-it-alls on Lemmy. It's possible to inform people of Linux without being an annoying asshole

Linux made my computing fun and free again. It's not for everyone but it did spark my interest and finally settled to be happy with the change.
Ymmv, though don't rule it out how anything could impact you personally. Playing the hard to try way might poison any cool potential personal discoveries on your own.
I was lucky to be in a few companies that enforce win, Linux and Mac laptops.
In the win company (a pretty big one, everyone has heard of it), they've given me Think pad T14 that had an i3 proc that was falling behind 3 generations.
In the Linux company they've supplied me with a disgusting chromebook, "because everything in the cloud now". Discussed ByOD, worked from my own one.
In the most recent company - the smallest one I've been working in, they've given me a decent M1 Pro with 16 Gb.
So at least, companies that enforce Mac will give you a decent machine to work on.
This is why a prefer Mac shops. It's kinda hard to buy a current Mac and have the stats be actual dogshit.
I swear most windows shop try to find the shittiest machine that even qualifies as a laptop then load it with so much corpo wear that even Outlook sends the machine into thermal limiting
You def should tho
Hey buddy, Linux is cool AF you should try it.
