I will keep pestering people who complain about Windows to install OpenSUSE instead.

- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Yeah it's tiring. It seems especially prevalent on Lemmy, way more than I've ever seen anywhere else for some reason.
Like, I use Linux for all sorts of things, it's great, but there are plenty of situations I use other stuff in too. Open your mouth around these folks though and all they say is "hurrdur use Linux".
Very helpful my guy, thanks xD

This just reeks of right wing anti-intellectualism. People actually offering solutions are vilified because they're sometimes rude or annoying. Grow up, and learn to ignore people you want to ignore. Not everyone will bow down to your whims. You wanna complain, fine, some will respond with solutions. If you don't want that, ignore them. It's not very hard.

Ah yes, get everyone's attention by complaining but punish those who try to help. If you wanna complain and not get a solution, do it offline.
"Sometimes people just want to complain that the hot stove burns without being told to not touch it.
If the obvious reply to the post is 'take your hand off the stove', as a rule, do not post that. You are not adding anything."
You are not adding anything.
The desktop share statistics say otherwise
I'm looking at the issues that I face with Linux, which mostly are related to companies not willing to make drivers, nor allowing other people to make open source drivers..
Then I look over my shoulder and see people working on windows, and I just know that my problems are nothing
This actually kills the average Lemmy user.
But why wouldn't they just use Linux? Are they stupid?
but... use Unix.
