Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
Second.
That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it's a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.
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.
So theres BSD, truth.
They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.
Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?
You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.
You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.
Yep, as written in the manuscript:
"Stallman's Sluts and Torvalds' Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks."
Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?
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
Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.
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.
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.
Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.
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.
Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.
It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.
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!"
Because any post can be turned into a Linux post here.
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.
I don't care that Linux is talked about here. It's just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It's just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
It's true that were total sluts aren't we?
We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.
#LinuxSluts
momma I'm a hooker :D
if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days
