The GPL fanatics just don’t want their real leader (Richard Stallman) in the spotlight.

You’re making a claim, and proof you’re wrong is all around you. Sorry, I don’t deal with delusional people well.

Oh, so you know how to source something and still refuse to back your claim that Linux is more secure.

I would love it if LiGNUts could use a search engine. -But nah, they’ll wait hours and lean on others for an answer they could obtain in seconds. “cite your source” -Is the internet not at your fingertips?

Compared to what? You cannot honestly argue that Linux has better security. It’s not even a priority of Torvalds and he gets angry about too much security infringing on userspace. Everyone also knows BSD is more secure by default. We’re also talking just the kernel with Linux. Add all the ‘hobby’ type garbage that comes with DEs and you’re no longer using a kernel as your propaganda. Windows has improved vastly since the 90s when people just played mild pranks and no one was banking online.

Windows has a lot more security than Linux (which lags). Every time Windows comes out with a new technology like secure boot, Linux users will scoff and down-play it until they catch up. And this happens with more than just security.

Also, Linux has way too many toolkits. If you want all the best apps; you need to add many whole toolkits which dramatically change the footprint. All new icons, dependencies, fonts, etc. Initial installs make a great first impression, and the rest is blamed on ‘your fault’, ‘pebkac’, ‘skill issue’. -Because it’s a religion.

Skill issue

11 is fine. I don’t miss XP, 7,or 10 at all. 11 is an upgrade.

If you continue wasting your opportunity here, I’ll just block you here too. I’m not into wasting time.

Imagine correcting me on anything. Everyone criticizing the community has the opportunity and NEVER does. Maybe because I’m right and not deceiving people and turning them into hardened Microsoft fans.

If you point out any where I’m wrong, I will correct it. So far, none of the LiGNUxers are. AFAICS they work for Microsoft. It’s like when I was into conspiracy theories and wondered why Alex Jones wasn’t easily recognized for the controlled opposition, he is.

Please read what I wrote again. I’m not about arguing with someone who glazes.

‘works on my machine’ -one of the most ignorant arguments.

The same model Motherboards can have different sound, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chips.

You’re trusting unsigned, reverse engineered, and amateur developed drivers in ring 0 which can possibly damage your hardware and firmware.

It’s not something to casually recommend people do.

Not true. They complain because of no hardware decoding, defaults lacking GPU acceleration, they complain about KDEs file manager, Gimp, Libre Office, etc. If you had problems with Windows, maybe consider ‘skill issue’.

Then why do people pretend that being ‘downvoted to hell’ means anything here? Why would they point and say ‘echo chamber’ hypocritically?

The truth is that Reddit is shady AF with their shadow bans, control of information, inconsistent rule following, etc. I’m actually trying to get more users here.

I tried on Gab. -What happens when I correct someone on Gab about Linux? -They upvote and thank me for it! A community there for “Linux sucks” served no purpose.

edit: I’m also against religion (worse cult) and didn’t want to support the owner’s evangelism. -But the site is ran pretty decent, and it’s not bad when curated (another shady thing about Reddit is the limitation on blocking users).

You got banned for breaking the rules. Integrity isn’t common among evangelists.

“love corporations”

How about I despise communism and how it only works when workers are forced to work at gunpoint. Or, I haven’t seen any legit gripes against Microsoft.

Politically, I’m centrist, because both pure extremes fail. -China isn’t 100% communist.

Linux takes the position of ‘competition’ for Windows while being an eternal loser. They squash other great projects by taking their ideas and making them work with then objectively shitty (for desktop) kernel.

Linux is a ‘best case scenario’ for Windows. (Yeah, you’re actually helping Microsoft by being an evangelist).

There’s so much denial here. Linux users even have their own pidgin for being toxic. “your fault: wrong distro”, “pebkac”, “skill issue”, “works fine on MY system” (same models can have different sound, wifi, and bluetooth chips). They can’t even get along with each other when different distros, init systems, display servers, etc., are discussed.

Sure, it goes on elsewhere: in Religion and Politics which is why both are banned from discussion in many bars/pubs.

I’m well aware of the anti-work, loud vocal minority, dunning Krüger’s, and Lemmy at least shows the upvotes along with the cope votes.

Thanks for the support!

It’s no surprise when a come-back from you is only an attempt to insult rather than add anything of substance.
