Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don't like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That's just obnoxious and exhausting.

They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.

Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!

Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?

Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?

Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.

Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?

If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.

Then it would be like Lemmy.

It's contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It's the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it's a mild case. But there's always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

I run both. everyone hates me :')

Hey! Hookers are street working girls.

You find whores at brothels.

Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.

More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.

I don't understand why anybody would complain about that. It's like complaining that too many people wear jeans.

It's more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it's a brothel.

momma I'm a hooker :D

I don't care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I'm in. Enjoying something is fine, but it's best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.

It's true that were total sluts aren't we?

We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.

#LinuxSluts

I don't care that Linux is talked about here. It's just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It's just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.

if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days

like, how many Star Trek communities do you need, right?

I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.

What’s a LiNUx?¿

Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit

GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

Lemmy users are hookers confirmed

Should have called it Linuxy

I'd never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It's now my preferred PC. But it's also super-duper polished and painless.

Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.

I actually don't know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.

Wait, what did you just call me? 😄

Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don't think this is really a thing.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.

They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.

Looking at you c/linuxsucks

I disagree because I’d still be having a good time at the brothel.

I caught this ubuntu server thing on my laptop, I haven't really bothered fixing it because it's been really handy

Oh, I'm sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.

To be fair... There are too many in a brothel...

Hey baby, I got all the distros and we can try them all, all night long.

How so? I don't see the analogy.

Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?

As long as there's blackjack too.

what's so bad about linux

snort

Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.

Say that to !linuxsucks@lemmy.world

Nah more like the dive bar down the street from the brothel that’s open at 6am

When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is "windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit" linux users are going to reply with "use Linux".

It's like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

And LGBT+ people (who are also overrepresented in brothels)

(That is a statement of fact, not judgement)

Eloquently said

Lol I love this. @madthumbs@lemmy.world you idiot

i came to lemmy because reddit kept banning me for pointing out the elephant in the room. i heard enough about linux from my brother, who was talking about it back in 2006. he has a mac and PC now and no time to deal with an indie OS. you people are late to the party and also a little weird frankly.

The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.

I don't come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users.......I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.

How is that too many Linux users???

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like "ACTUALLY IT'S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!"

Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can't turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.

......and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it's core concepts and user culture.

Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!!

........but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!!
