Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Arch Linux? I got a pamphlet and reading material for you.

Yep. It's me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, GNU/Linux?

Those bricks are laid incredibly poorly, look at all those gaps

Try to understand, not everyone likes windows. They require quite a bit of maintenance, are usually insecure and speaking personally, some setups just don't look good. It's why some people opt for skylights instead.

Windows bad, give Internet points!

This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.

My linux config does give me a boner tho

Okay, but windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.

I don’t hate windows as much as I hate Microsoft.

ReactOS is a cool project and I hope it goes somewhere.

I use arch btw…

Edge isn't a bad browser. However it's based on Chromium so using it just feeds into the Chromium monopoly.

Firefox or Safari is the only way.

Hell no it ain't

I mean I know people who are still trying to find bypasses to get around Microsoft and their online only strategy.

If you're still doing this, you.need to try Linux.

.world really is the Reddit of lemmy smdh my damn head.

Come to Linux mountain charrrleeee

Username checks out.

I don't have a problem with Edge itself. We use it at work and it's fine. I have a problem with microsoft constantly trying to trick me into using it among all their other shitty practices.

I like the memes, but that's it. I use Linux, sure, but I also have to use Windows for a few programs because WINE doesn't work with said programs, and the alternatives aren't the best

With that being said, would I prefer Linux to be mainstream? Yes. Will it ever be? Probably not. Too many people just want something that works out of the box and don't want to spend hours fixing some obscure bug.

I am a nerd. Therefore, I am okay spending time working on my machine and making sure everything runs well. I have previously looked at an OS that doesn't seem to work or is starting to have issues and completely swap to a different distro using a base I have used and know will work 100% of the time

The guy that became a Marxist because of Linux?

When it comes to browsing the web and showing content and having good add-ons, edge does a good job.

But why does it need to constantly advertise itself and other microsoft things to me? It's annoying when Firefox does this, but it feels like edge does it almost every time I open it.

just block me now then I don't have any other personality traits

To be honest I'd still be on Windows if MS hadn't screwed me out of the license I bought through the MS store and attached to my MS account. I do kinda miss the new Bing assistant in Edge, that was neat to screw around with for free while I was on that OS
