Tl;DRT: Linux elitists shit on windows users

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hey that's not true, windows users also shit on windows users

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, at the end of the day it’s just a bunch of shitty people being shitty to each others shit and preferred shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

heh, except me, I'm not shitty because I use [insert favorite os] and everyone else that doesn't is shitty

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Windows and iOS user here!

I’m PRIMED to shit on Windows 11 at any moment. What a trash horrible dogshit dildo downgrade aaaaaaaaaaaa

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just wait until they rewrite windows in Rust, surely won’t cause problems :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m on 10 until it stops being supported, then I’m learning my ass Linux. I know a tiny bit (I have a PiHole and a little OMV server) but I’m reddy to switch to full time desktop Linux once it has a liiiittle bit more game support.

I love you Steamdeck, even though I have no use for one, it’s making games work so much more and better on Linux.

grass is never greener, just a different shade. There is always pros and cons and Linux is not exempt from this

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I use both for 6-8 hours a day each.

The grass is greener on the Linux side when it comes to inexplicable bullshit like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. The whole Windows v. Linux thing is a prime example of actually greener grass on the Linux side. One reason the Linux community is so vocal lately is because it's maddening how many people just won't fucking try it.

It did not use to be this good, especially for gaming. But it is now, and it's time to accept that progress happened.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Linux community can be very aggressive at times to the point of being insufferable, which is putting people off trying Linux.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ive never even heard of something like this happening prior to now, bordering on calling this post bullshit.

How a headsets power influx could somehow accurately pick and cycle through a specific set of icons consistently is baffling and, in my opinion, points more towards hardware failure than OS failure. But we’ll never know because there’s a close to 0% chance OP updates :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh ive had jank like this before, windows suddenly detecting my ps5 controller as a speaker. somehow my speaker config changing back to a shittier one. and in general these kinds of problems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So this is actually normal, your ps4 controller has a speaker in it but I’m not sure that it’s functional on windows but they still detect that a new speaker source was connected and thus tries to switch.

There was some setting I changed to prevent this from happening because it would happen to me too all the time so that’s good news!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m offended that when I set my speaker to Dualsense, nothing actually plays from it! I want to scare my partner with random sounds from behind us!

windows pulls this kind of bs all the time, lets do some comparisons between my primary linux install and my school windows install, both installed on the same relatively modern hardware and almost identical nvme ssds. linux: i turn on my computer and it works for everything i need, the time is correct, my gpu driver is included in the kernel so its always updated, no popups or unwanted notifications. ever. windows: considerably longer boot time, have to click through several menus begging me to sign into microsoft and upgrade to windows 11 or my pc will get hacked. then my monitors layout and refresh rate will be messed up every time because windows uodate "updated the gpu driver" to an older version and now it wont load so i have to spend 5 minutes unfucking that, then the time is consistently always off. ive tried endless tutorials/uodates to try and fix it and is just wont work. have to manually disable ntp and set the time so that autocads shitty drm will let me do my homework while getting spammed with popups about how i need to update my computer and install razer software for my keyboard and how microsoft 365 is the best software in the entire universe.

and thats just the start of all the random shit this os pulls on a daily basis

You're crazy if you think microsoft would rewrite windows. No, they'd keep the old windows ALONGSIDE the new, already bloated windows stuff. Because updates that break stuff are bad.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They’re literally rewriting core libraries as we speak in Rust but go off I guess you obviously know it all

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not most libraries. They're rewriting very specific libraries in Rust, generally ones that require both memory safety and concurency

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You got it!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in fairness to them microsoft takes their backwards compatibility seriously to the point where i'd absolutely see them keeping their old implementation hidden somewhere and hot-swapping it in when they detect an old program that needs some inexplicable internal access to some C struct being launched.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is true, that could be the case based off previous observations buuuut considering they’re doing this for security purposes, I think it make little sense to leave them behind

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Then again, megalithic tech companies do stupid shit all the time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't know they did. And what I said was a jab at windowd but go off I guess you obviously want to feel hurt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You’re literally the one playing victim after talking out of your ass. Nice brojection 😎

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see a single comment talking about Linux other than yours

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

(( it was a joke ))

(( a jab ))

(( a haha funny))

(( an “oh brother here we go again” ))

Shitting on Windows users, pay attention.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I can’t I have to focus on shitting on other peoples subjective experiences and preferences because I’m I feel the need to separate myself from others strongly and solidify my own perception of my self as an important figure in the most important group as a coping mechanism for how poorly my childhood social growth went :(

Maybe tomorrow tho!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we obviously have so much eliteness and so much skill at everything, I can't believe you are even asking such a simple question. you must really be an ios 🤮 user or maybe you even use Ubuntu 🙄🙄🙄 like one of those wannabe foss-ers. even worse, you probably have an iq below 300🤣🤣🤣🤣 like those normies. imagine being a normie. 😤😤 dude you should already know that we are elite how could you be asking "At what though?" like a nerd 🥸

i use arch btw /s

New Linux user copy pasta dropped

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, ...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't care what OS I am using, desktop shortcuts and icons get turned off immediately. ew

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, my desktop is just basically a place for a picture, can't stand having anything on it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

i made a heart out of the shit that piled up on my desktop and cant delete anything now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only thing I have is desklet thingies that show me hard drive space on my leftmost monitor.

on kde I like to create a folder and put all shortcuts there since it has this cool featurewm where you can see what's inside a folder on the desktop without oppening it

The only windows I use are made of glass

after a glamce hoped this to be a starcraft meme

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even have a desktop

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd prefer it if the Desktop was just replaced by a system-level My Computer or File Explorer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's a Feature™.
