It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry. (lemmy.ml)

This kind of gatekeeping and elitism is bad for Lemmy and for FOSS.

It makes this community a less welcoming place and leaves new folks with a bad first impression. Much better to be welcoming and let people learn/see the benefits of FOSS at their own pace.

This is why I unsubscribed from the Android community. I love Android, I use nothing but Linux at home and really appreciate open source software.

But the FOSS...enthusiasm is starting to border on zealotry. It's getting really unpleasant.

Try to tell the Linux users on here that you prefer to use Windows...

I had to leave the Linux memes community because I swear nearly every post was shitting on Windows. Yes, I get it. Windows isn't all that great. But, much like Ios, it just works for what I need. And I haven't had any issues that weren't ny fault with it.

If the game I play most, and the number one reason why i go on my pc, works on Windows, but won't work on Linux. Which OS is better for me?

I thought all this software war crap era was over. That was shit I cared about when I was 14 or something. Just let it herself use what they want and explain the benefits of alternatives, only if they care.

I'm surprised they don't shit on macOS too lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I tell myself that I like MacOS as it was my favourite desktop for years. Honestly though, it is the worst of the three at this point.

[–] Resistentialism 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly same, but I think a lot of those people are talking highly of their privacy policy, so they turn a blind eye. It's honestly funny when you see some of them being all like "Linux is significantly better because it gives you absolute freedom.

Then, proceed to use Ios.
