Because you’re making stuff up. Literally every install of an OS has some little issue here and there-- but this is my mistake for assuming any Linux community could be humble enough to cut the BS and stop acting like Linux is a flawless experience. I’m out, keep hanging out at that ~5% market cap and wondering why folks don’t flock over despite it being free.

I don’t believe it works “flawlessly” and I’m tired of people exaggerating their experience in such a misleading way. There’s always some hitches and I don’t get why people basically have to cake their OS experience with makeup like this.
I really hope someday folks in the internet learn how to properly use quotation marks and why paraphrasing but adding quotation isn’t okay. Someday…
Saying it sucks = blaming the users? Okay.
As bad as reddit is, it does suck that a lot of people who left decided to wipe all their comments/posts too. Huge amount of useful data just gone.

Your form of entitlement involves everyone working around your preferences, and you try to justify it with this weird paternalistic "I know what’s best for you" attitude. The higher you go with privacy, the lower the convenience, and at a certain point it goes past the point of what people are realistically prepared to sacrifice.

MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•How was your experience using Linux in college?21·10 months agoBig waste of time. Spent too much time troubleshooting to get it working on my laptop before I just said "fuck it" and installed Windows. There was way too much software compatibility issues and I was spending more time troubleshooting than I was studying. I’m sure Linux can work for some students but for me and the field I majored in, Linux is no bueno.
He doesn’t know, that’s how fucked up he is.
Soft, oh so soft.
There’s plenty of good open source software that is user friendly, like VLC. The problem is other open source software that isn’t user-friendly and takes this whole "it’s the user’s fault" approach. Folks like you just jerk each other off about how smart open source users are and how dumb proprietary software users are and it’s just so cringy.

MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•How to use Whatsapp Video Call on Linux?178·10 months agoAnd how many peoples’ friends and family are on Signal vs WhatsApp? The whole point of these apps is socializing with people you know, so can you not see how useless of a suggestion it is to recommend Signal? And please don’t get into the "just convince everyone to use Signal’ argument because it’s completely unrealistic.
Signal did itself no favors when it made the bone-headed move of removing SMS support in a delusional attempt at pushing users away from SMS and towards Signal’s encrypted chat. All it did was result in a bunch of people uninstalling the app because it became annoying to use it just for Signal instead of Signal and SMS, which at least gave rise to a SMS user’s eventual shift away from SMS. But we don’t talk about that because open source is always good 😇
It’s like saying modern clubs suck, so I’m going to invest my own club that the vast majority of people won’t attend and those that do are almost all white dudes with the same generic "I’m not like other users" personality.

MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why don't libertarian rednecks like Linux?10·10 months agoWhy is it that libertarianism seems to have a long history of primarily attracting white men? As a POC, libertarianism strikes me as one of the most ideologically selfish political philosophies that is the furthest thing to being conducive to solidarity. I damn sure don’t trust libertarians and I’ve seen TONS of racism in libertarian spaces/clubs online and in-person.
There’s plenty of bastard racist, sexist and transphobic libertarians out there and it’s dismissive/inaccurate to chalk them all up as QAnon types.

Makes me wish Proton had their own password manager.
