True?

And… they’re basically all correct. Linux does run on all sort of machines, even really ancient ones. It has a solid command line environment, or rather lots of them. And it’s astounding powerful. Windows does still blue screen, is currently the best place for gaming, and wow is MS fucking you with Win11. Macs can have a cool setup, are really simplified for most users and expensive.
- Macs excel in multimedia creation. It’s not just a cool setup. Yes, I’m prepared for the inevitable downvotes.
  
  Yeah, more software was written for the more user-friendly computers with the (generally) less-technical userbase.
  
  I don’t think I’ll ever be a Mac user but I’ve seen how fast these newer MacBooks edit video on battery power without breaking a sweat (and without eating through the battery).
  People focus on “software magic” with Apple but the M chips are serious hardware that a lot of us don’t take seriously because the company that killed the iPod made them.

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don't want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It's much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.
No thanks.
- The funny thing about apple is just how far they've moved away from Jobs' "vision".
  It was clearly evident when they released the Apple Pencil. Jobs hated Stylus'. one of the reasons he killed the newton, and a reason why the iphone/ipad never originally had one as he was quoted as saying "why would I need a stylus? I have 5 of them on my hand"
  I mean Apple is like a cult that worship a dead god who would burn current Apple to the ground and start over if he came back.
  
  Steve jobs also hated keyboards, or at least all the F1-12 keys because "nobody needs them"
  About the "5 stylus on my hand", it really feels like he only ever cared about the lowest common denominator when it came to usability and function. Yes, you have 5 fingers, but to this day fingers lack precision on touch screens, while a pencil stylus is as precise as it can get.
  
  I always thought the Nintendo DS Lite looked like something Apple manufactured.
  Now that I think about it, it's kinda ironic because Steve Jobs hates the stylus.
- Apple looks more like a cult, similar to Scientology. Linux user as well.
  
  Linux is a cult with an exit, apple is a cult that most don't acknowledge as a cult and there's no real exit

Memes came and go and this picture is still somehow relevant. How old is it? I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10+ years!
- I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs was alive when it was created, so sounds about right.

Apparently Windows users have a very accurate perception of how I use Linux
- apparently mac users made a very accurate description of my experiences with windows
- Generally I think people that use Linux on their home PCs are more likely to have stuff like multiple screens or loads of gadgets attached to their computer. A lot of Linux users think it's really cool or like to imagine themselves as someone that does things like lots of complicated data analysis or being an "epic hacker" in their spare time at home. Extra shit on your desk can be genuinely useful if you actually do those kinds of things and add to the aesthetic if you like them.

Ngl, that Fischer Price setup looks sick. 10/10, would modify into an actual, usable desktop setup.
- Especially since it looks like it has an actual graphics tablet attached to it. Granted, it's probably just aa resistive panel with no display behind it, but still!
- Found the Mac user

I see this meme more often than i see my parents
- This meme is almost old enough to vote.

Linux

Where do I fit if I use all three?
- You fit exiled in the forest by all three.
  
  me:
  runs windows
  has a linux vm
  used to be a mac user (still owns the mac)
  second partition with ms-dos
  where tf do i fit???

After Crowdstrike are we sure it's not all blue screens in the windows column?

It’s missing my clique… BSD Fans.
- That makes sense, because you're seen by nobody (besides maybe on lemmy sometimes)

Based on this graphic, I am a Linux fanboy... despite how I use Macs (though to ssh into Linux:-).
- Beware, MacOS was my gateway to Linux.
  
  iTerm2 terminal and homebrew package manager help turn MacOS into a fully functional OS
  
  Did you use an emulator on the Mac first or jump directly? I need to find a good free one that works with the M-series chips.
- Same.

The one on the bottom right should be the same as the center right but with "Apple" written instead of "Microsoft". And maybe with the hand of the character representing Apple reaching in the other's pocket while doing what he's doing.

I wish windows were that much fun (Linux fan here)
- Cygwin terminal and chocolatey package manager gets windows some missing features in Linux like gnu tools and a non-store based software library.

How Linux Fanboys see Linux:

Just looking at the mental space of the three fanboy types... Mac seems the chilliest to hang with.
e: lol, case in point
