You Linux supremecists are so edgy...

I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.

We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.

I only have Linux on my servers at home and at work, as well as on my laptop, and I agree with that, it's arrogant and getting so damn old. Lemmy has such a boner for Linux and loves shoving it in everyone's faces.

You do realize that Lemmy is an opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are passionate about Linux? Does it really come as surprise that Lemmy is full of Linux enthusiasts?

If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary social network instead, maybe one with a red alien logo or with a blue 'f'...

Being an enthusiast doesn't mean you have to preach about it everywhere you go. This post isn't talking about Linux whatsoever. They're starting to remind me of religious nuts that always make everything about their religion.

your platform.

I don't get why you're offended by someone jokingly pushing Linux?

To be fair, there are so many opportunities to make these jokes because of how Microsoft behaves that maybe that's the real issue here?

[–] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It doesn't look like they're getting offended to me.

Imagine you have a friend that you see daily. Every time you see them, they make the same joke. How quickly do you think you'll get tired of the joke?

[–] tobbue@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!

[–] tabular@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Stop driving into things, Jerry, and we'll stop making jokes about how you hit them!
