Well you see my distribution of choice is the perfect choice, my window manager is the best one, and my specific choice of utilies (ex: Terminal, shell, text editor, file manager, toolkit, etc) are the best ones. Clearly you’re the one trying to divide Linux users :3

(And of course my standard is the best one, yes there are thirty other universal standards but mine is better)

Sure but Windows users are far more likely to demand privacy while Apple users just accept thats not a thing on Apple.

Nobody acturally expects privacy from Apple, if you use an Apple device they know Apple has all your information.

Linux activists deficiently root against Windows

Have you seen Linux users whenever anything controversial happens? Like rust in the kernel, C devs being jerks, Wayland, Pipewire, Flatpaks, or tbh anything else that causes Linux users to loose their minds?

Thats because Microsoft has refused to change anything meaningful, there are new mobs but they dont drop anything of value and there are new biomes but the blocks are all decorative. Microsoft knows they’ll screw it up so they only make surface level changes.

Hell nah, I am never donating to Wikipedia if they go AI.

Neovim >>> any ide

Of course :3

It should have done sudo rm -rf /*

It absolutely is, forcing people to use one OS on their device is insane. Fuck Google, they can take my GraphineOS Pixel 9 from my cold dead hands.

Many people use LineageOS and GraphineOS for security, privacy, and features that base Android simply doesn’t ship.

Absolutely this, you cannot expect Blender level UI/UX without blender level funding. The fundamental problem is that new users/inexperienced users/nontechnical users arent used to contributing bug reports or even proper constructive criticism.

Furthermore what people forget is that being a 1:1 carbon copy of a corporate software isnt inherently a good thing. For example Linux, I love Linux and I love the way it works. I use it not because its OSS but because I genuenly prefer it above Windows, I dont want Linux to be like Windows. I love tiling, I love Sway, I love Hyprland, and despite being in alpha I love the Cosmic Desktop. I dont care that tiling isnt immediately intuitive to Windows users, I absolutely love it.

While im at it I absolutely despise the idea that the Terminal is inherently not user friendly (especially with a shell like fish). The idea that just because somebody isnt used to something makes it bad. Or that having to use a wiki/look at the docs means its “not ready”. All software is new to somebody at some point, that doesn’t make it bad.

Users: I demand OSS devs and Maintainers do X

OSS Devs/Maintainers: Are you willing to contribute code or at least donate any money?

Users: Uhh its OSS, you should just do all the work for free with no funding. Also I demand that your software be as polished and complete as (premium proprietary software) I demand you do X, I demand you do Y, because im entitled to free software.
