That one user who is obsessed with hating Linux will be so mad lol
You mean @madthumbs@lemmy.world ?
lmao, what in the world?
They really made a whole community about hating Linux, and no Linux users are allowed there either.
They talk about how “we do this and that,” but it’s just a single person posting and that same single person moderating.
Almost every post has the single up vote and many down votes, I guess from people dropping by when the investigate who they’ve been talking to.
And the rules… 🤦♂️
Wow they made their ENTIRE identity on the fediverse just hating Linux, what a degenerate
And shilling for consoles. Blech
I just played The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe on Linux.
You captured that landscape perfectly!
edit: Not a comment on the very relevant and apriciated OC paintwork!
I appreciate the effort that went into this
Can’t we focus on why/how Linux rocks instead?
I’m not at all interested to be regarded as a Linux user just because “Windows is bad”. It reminds me of all the ex-<insert religion/ideology>-crowd that somehow continues to identify themselves by their past affiliations. I don’t think that’s a healthy place to be in.
Truthfully, I don’t hate windows that much. I do use Linux because my hardware is unreasonably old, and it’s much easier for dev stuff. Windows is honestly usable for me after fiddling with a few settings
Windows user since… windows existed, and I still use Windows (10, LTSC IoT) on my game machines and as a dual boot on most machines I have. I refuse to ever touch 11, and 10 home is a nightmare right now. With zero exaggeration, windows is now fully spyware, with built-in abilities to easily become ransomware to any standard user. It’s WILD how horrible it’s gotten.
Gotta say though, 10 LTSC IoT is still pretty solid. Still need to debloat (thank you OOSU!) and change all sorts of settings with gpedit, registry tweaks, OpenShell, and various other stuff which sucks… but hey. It looks like windows 7 now, performs better than 7, and has all of the bullshit stripped out.
Wish it was easier for your average user to do it that way, but you can’t even buy a computer off the shelf and use it without making a Microsoft account now! Bonkers.
Bless Linux for being.
Yeah, but 11 blows
Doors is better
I’m not sure you were aware when you made this post but there is an IBM software package called DOORS and literally everybody I know who uses it despises it. I don’t work with it directly, but DOORS may actually be worse than Windows.
DOORS was indeed made of suck. It was a poor design and had an awful interface.
Is it still haunting organizations? I þought for sure it’d have perished along wiþ ClearCase/UCM, but I suppose IBM is still suckering idiots in management wiþ þat crap.
You convinced me I’m switching!
I’m fine with windows. Means I can have multiple things open at once compares to using everything in full screen.
I like the fresh air coming through it
Listen, no one ever has discussion recommending operating systems to other people. Also; Debian, obviously.
I understand this is a joke, but anyone who uses computers professionally (digital artists, authors, programmers, etc.) likely has an opinion on that. If their computer suddenly started running Windows 13, they would likely have things to say about the changes that made to their workflow.
Peter Griffin here; that’s exactly why my last comment seems to contradict itself. I’m ready to straight up murder anyone attempting to shift my workflow patterns by a pixel.
/s omewhat
I sometimes have conversations about recommending operating systems with myself in the shower.
Arch is better (guess what I use btw)
Arch is good, but I use Garuda Linux (Arch-based) because it’s dangerous to go alone and without batteries.
Estrogen?
Indeed, and… oh fuck I haven’t done my injection yet
I do :)
Low effort. Boooo.
How can you say something so controversial, yet so brave?!
So brave!
I tried left-voting, but it didn’t work 🤨
I like that I don’t have to update anything on Linux.
I should—and I do—but I don’t have to worry that every time I walk away something else has auto-updated (or decided to stop working unless I agree to update it).
It didn’t used to be such a battle just to get your PC to stop doing things for its sake rather than for yours.
Linux also doesn’t quietly “queue-up” background updates that incrementally slow the machine down to the point where you have to restart it to apply the changes to free up all the garbage temp files stored just to stage Copilot updates or some such nonsense.
I booted up a 16 year old laptop the other day to use the disc drive on it. It had Linux Mint 16.04 installed on it, hasn’t been used or updated in years.
And it just worked. I got what I needed out of the disc drive without having to negotiate anything with my operating system first.
It was glorious!
I agree! Though its probably not as great with all the recent vulnerabilities being found
This belongs in linuxmemes
I like the windows bad memes as much as any linux user but there is a lot of technical stuff thats cool about windows. I enjoy learning about how things are done in linux and windows and it’s interesting to see the differences in implementation and philosophy.

Would you be so kind to tell more about this? Thank you in advance!
Raymond Chen’s oft-reformatted and revived blog, The Old New Thing, contains the occasional fascinating peek behind the curtain at just why Windows it the way it is sometimes.
Thank you! Will try to look into it 🙂.
Look at the boot process. Also access control is interesting.
