Some of these are funny and make me laugh but I really hate that this seems to be the Linux identity.

Shitting on Windows and it's users got old years ago. I see one of these every few days, or I see it in the comments attacking other users, it's just miserable and sad after a while.

Like we get it, windows bad, lets move on.

    Eh, it's all heretics all the way down.

    Pick a preference. Go on. Any preference at all. Coffee? Great! All the coffee snobs agree that Starbucks is shit coffee. Then the pour-over gals and the espresso makers go home and wash their hands. Then the 40/60 pour-over gals meet with the 30/70 pour-over guys and agree that the espresso makers suck; then THEY go home and wash their hands. Then the 30/70 Japanese filter guys meet with the 30/70 German filter guys and agree that the 40/60 gals stink, and so on ad nauseum.

    No group hates outsiders more than they hate heretics within their own group.

    This clip is the best way of explaining this phenomenon (and, if you don't know him already welcome to the world of Emo Phillips)

    It was already old back in the 90s when people were writing it as "Windoze" and writing Micro$oft with a dollar sign.

    I know, nothing wrong with the joke per se, it's just the repetitiveness of the shitting on Windows thing. Lately I've been thinking of unsubbing to these communities because of it.

    Windows gets in the news almost daily with new ways they made their product worse. Of course people are shitting on them, it's still as relevant as years ago.

    Absolutely this. If everyone just used their preferred OS and got along doing computer things, that'd be great. But when biggie-techs like M$ are constantly deciding to make stonks-money-fueled, idiotic waves that forcibly affect practically everyone who uses a computer at all, (like a dedicated "AI button" on keyboards. Or announcing they'll suddenly just paperweight WMR (VR) devices whenever they feel like it, or the whole "Windows 11 makes a bunch of recent hardware incompatible" thing, or Bing shenanigans...), it draws plenty of justified ire.

    I grew up with Windows and loved it until later versions began getting more and more "user-hostile".

    For sure, but it's to be expected from a listed company. The only product is investor sentiment.

    Every day, all the time everywhere, to the point where Linux users become insufferable? Yeah...
