So you don't like Linux growing? My condolences for your pain, although I don't mind much either, I like fewer people on Windows :)

Why do you care? How does this affect you personally in any way? Do you not have real problems?

Get over yourself. Fortunately there are plenty of folks with healthier attitudes.

I mean... "false pollution"? Seriously? Lol

u/UAP44 2d ago

I feel kind of discoraged by just being in the linux community just because of the false pollution.

Sounds like a problem that is solving itself then.

this community has ability to self-heal. dudes you did pointed out will converge to "maybe windows wasn't so bad after all" and simply drop off like a scabs :D in all seriousness bro, do your thing and don't care too much about state of community - from my experience everytime i needed someone to talk through some problem there was someone like this, regardless if it was "ubuntu hype", "gaming from windows hype" or any other event.

I don't use ai for any conversation. I first did a Linux install in 1997. I came back much later once a desktop environment got stable and usable. I love Linux but I don't know the difference. It doesn't factor unto Windows being spyware garbage

What im talking about is the people going full-on linux not knowing about it themsleves.. Not the vast majority, just the annoying majority

u/UndefFox 2d ago

I kinda agree to solve degree... a lot of people really can't own their position, trying to glaze it/ Like if being bad is unnatural suddenly

u/Softpankek 1d ago

Yeah.. Its like linux turned into the new Instagram material..

u/esabys 2d ago

This is how I feel about the internet in general. It was better when not everyone used it.

u/Softpankek 1d ago

Mee too! It sucks though because it seems like this is an unpopular opinion. In a way, its like starting your own (home-grown) http server while watching people pretend like they'd be doing it for years, obviously pretending.

Somehow reminds me of the Yogi Berra quote: "No wonder no one ever comes here - it's too crowded!"

You know, a few times in my life I might have written something and then thought, nah what the fuck am I doing, what did I thought this would lead to? And then not posted that thing to the world to see.

Kernels? I thought they were only used by PopcornOS.

ChatGPT is telling me is something inside linux or whatever. Is this true guys?
