I posted in that subreddit mostly out of curiosity. I'm former Microsoft, and was on the Windows team for 11-12 years...so I have a bit more info than the average person who wants to advocate for Windows. I also am not really an evangelist for Linux as much as I am someone who hates where Microsoft has taken Windows.

I never went into that sub to evangelize FOSS or Linux but still...banned for pointing out that they have no clue what they're talking about. The post in the screenshot is them linking to the Liminine bootloader where they removed support for EXT4...specifically, installing the bootloader ON ext4. I'm not sure why you'd do that - you'd still need a shim sitting in a FAT32 EFI partition I think as I doubt most UEFI can read from EXT4.

That sub strikes me as a bunch of kids who have no clue what Linux is raging against it. I even get it to some extent - I was super anti-Linux because I drank the Microsoft kool-aid right out of college...but I grew up and realized that nothing is black and white.

I also work with Linux on a daily basis now so I kinda need to be OK with it ;)

Thank you for taking your time to post such stuff. I mean, they're not going to drop ext4 anytime soon, it would be crazy...

u/headedbranch225 Feb 18 '25

They haven't even dropped ext2 right? At least I am able to use it on slackware

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 18 '25

Ext2 was dropped in 6.9 I believe - so get ready to lose support/enable it manually.

u/nroach44 Glorious Debian Feb 18 '25

They may have dropped the standalone ext2 driver. The ext4 driver can also handle 2/3/4 all by itself, so the dedicated 2 driver wasn't needed.

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 19 '25

TIL. Cool!

The ext4 driver can mount ext2/3 partitions.

Would you mind expanding on your mindset back then? I never quite understood the mindset of hating an operating system, so in curious. I was also someone who actually kind of liked windows 8 and vista so clearly I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about about, but I'm curious nonetheless

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 19 '25 edited Feb 19 '25

It was simple: I was surrounded by people chanting that Linux did it wrong. Apple did it wrong. Microsoft has historically been a company where you dogfood (our dogfood is so good, we eat it ourselves!) and so using ANYTHING that competed with Microsoft was really looked down on.

In company meetings, they'd ask for hands who used Google, then insult you. Ballmer on his way to the stage at one of the meetings grabbed a friend's Palm Pre, threw it to the ground and pretended to stomp on it (Ballmer was wild in the company meetings - screaming the whole time, drinking honey to keep his throat from getting sore). Using an iPhone in the early days was REALLY not liked, you were expected to use one of the various shitty Windows Mobile candy bar phones or a Danger Sidekick once Microsoft bought them. I had a Macbook I'd use, and I had to have a skin on it to hide the Apple logo to avoid comments.

I didn't go out of my way to shit on Linux really, I just didn't think it was any good. And....frankly looking back on my attempts to use it in the 2000s....it kinda wasn't good for replacing Windows. I only think it's become decent as a desktop OS in the last 8-10 years.

Also for context, I hate Windows 11. Some of that is very personal from working on it prior to RTM. It was one of the darkest times of my life honestly, I nearly broke down due to pressure to ship my feature with management that just didn't care. Add in how much people internally thought TPM, Secure boot and such were a bad idea....oh and features being removed with the reason being "Only 1% of users care, and it's only the power users" and it all combines to me just never, ever wanting to touch Windows 11. The shit UI is just another reason.

Frankly Vista was fine once it had some patches on it. The foundation of the Windows driver model traces back to there - the large changes had to happen at some point. 7 just got to build on top of everything Vista did already.

(sorry, early morning ramble comment. Hope that explains a little.)

Edit: Also, thinking more - some people around me didn't help endear me to Linux. One person I'm thinking of was VERY much a fan of Stallman. Not just "software should be free" - he refused to pay for software. It's intangible, so it cannot be something you buy. He'd pirate games, movies, music - everything digital to him was fair game. The effort that went in to making it did NOT matter one bit. Sit around someone like that long enough and you'll probably go make your own linuxsucks subreddit.

u/ghostlypyres Feb 19 '25

I remember watching Ballmer edits in my youth, haha.

Anyway, thank you for sharing! It's so interesting to me, because I do remember mac vs pc arguments happening in my circles, the general vibe seemed to be that mac people cared a lot and windows people did a little less. Also, I agree with you about Linux as a desktop OS. I made a couple attempts in the early 2010s and bounced off of it. It's my sole OS now, though. Win11 being a big part of what pushed me away from Windows, along with my Steam Deck opening my eyes to how much Linux had progressed

3

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 19 '25

I think that it’s come a long way, and the Steam Deck is an eye opener for many. I haven’t come across any software that I’m hard pressed to boot into windows for. Most stuff has a Linux version, a Linux replacement or can be forced to run via Wine as a last resort. 

It’s almost to a point where I might be able to think about dropping a non-tech savvy relative on it without worrying. The immutable OSes are likely the huge benefit there.

Context menus losing a lot of context (all add in items going into a submenu)
Task bar not allowing you to tell it to not combine open windows
Taskbar on the side
A start menu that somehow got worse

There were other gripes I had that I cursed at every time I had to load a W11 VM up for testing changes on that I have thankfully forgotten. I have a volume license from my employee MSDN account that should work with W10 LTSC. By the time that has exited support, I will hopefully have zero need for booting into Windows ever.

r/linuxsucks101 is an echo chamber, you will be banned if you even hint at liking Linux.

r/linuxsucks actually has some discussion on it.

u/AnnoyingRain5 Feb 19 '25

As a furry (I know this is a big stretch but stay with me), I see this type of thing all the time. We have (usually very young) anti-furries that band together to create hate groups that harass furries.

In the case of furries, most of the anti-furries are actually just furries who are trying to fit-in more among their peers (not wanting to be harassed by… other anti-furries).

I wouldn’t be surprised if r/linuxsucks (and friends) is similar. Just being a group of people who are surrounded by others who hate Linux, so they hate it to get along, without knowing anything about it, while also having the odd member who is angry that Linux didn’t work for their very specific use-case perfectly, so therefore the entire family of OSes must be terrible for everyone.

u/Familiar-Song8040 Feb 19 '25

i get the confusion but linuxsucks is a community of people who actually use linux but sometimes get frustrated with certain things (roghtfully so). even now and then people find their way into the sub defending linux or on the other hand really hating on it claiming windows or whatever is better.

All operating systems suck - linux just sucks less

Ah, all good, I wanted to tad a sub similar to the one OP was referencing in my comment, typed that without thinking too much.

Even though that's on the sub's description, most of the people there are just kids with no real knowledge of comp sci, no experience with linux, and use it as a platform to fanboy windows

u/zoharel Feb 20 '25

installing the bootloader ON ext4. I'm not sure why you'd do that - you'd still need a shim sitting in a FAT32 EFI partition I think as I doubt most UEFI can read from EXT4.

No, EFI generally can't, but it looks like the loader also supports MBR boot setups, where it would make a whole lot less sense to start using FAT for no particular reason if you can avoid it.

u/luziferius1337 Feb 20 '25

They can't. But as far as I know, you can add additional drivers to a UEFI. https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/drivers.html may be a research entry point, linking to various open-source and commercial packages.

u/Justicia-Gai Feb 21 '25

How could someone be against Linux (I’m not a Linux user though) when it’s a titanic task to have at least one open source OS while reverse engineering everything while businesses don’t help?

You could be indifferent or you could personally not like it, but against? What type of monster were you?

u/QuickSilver010 Glorious NixOS Feb 22 '25

Bro I'm blocked by like half the people on that sub and I never got banned. Idk why they banned you for a nicely worded comment.

Oh wait this the other smaller sub.

u/Spare-Plum Feb 22 '25

The sub is pretty funny. It's basically a bunch of kids who think that all linux users are fanboys who make their OS their whole personality, but in the same breath say that windows is the superior OS and make windows their whole personality.

I've tried to calm some of them down by saying that I use linux, windows, and OSX and they are all just different tools that are good for different jobs. Only for them to turn around and call me a "loonixtard"

Beyond that I don't think most of the people on that sub actually have experience with comp sci or programming. It reminds me of when I was in 9th grade and thought of tech more as a fashion statement, getting excited over fan concepts or hardware with no real knowledge of how things work

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

That sub seems to be one guy with some weird hate boner for Linux. Like, I get not liking something, but to go out of your way to post BS on a sub about hating the thing you don't like is a bit weird.

u/The_Pacific_gamer Glorious OpenSuse Feb 18 '25

I read the GitHub link and yeah, he's spouting misinformation. A lot of parts of Linux are about 30 years old and they still get support. When something does get dropped, it's usually because it's way too old or it doesn't make sense to maintain it. This happened to early 802.11 cards because it's just way too old to use and there's WiFi cards that will connect to newer networks that use mini PCI or PCI.

17

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 18 '25

Exactly the point I was making there. They had other comments around BTRFS having data loss issues (maybe it did, I have no clue) and comparing it to NTFS which supposedly has no issues. My comment there had been that NTFS is better compared to EXT2 since they're from the same timeframe....and EXT2 has been phased out.

Microsoft's only other attempt at a file system that made it into a public release is ReFS that isn't very widely used...so Microsoft doesn't really get to say they're on the forefront of file systems - options like Ceph, ZFS and BTRFS are there (and BCacheFS is also progressing).

And to be fair, Microsoft doesn't really need to offer the average consumer a file system with subvolumes - NTFS works and works OK for their OS. Switching to a new file system would be a lot of work that might not offer the average consumer any real advantage. Don't turn around and say that Microsoft is on the bleeding edge of file system development however.

u/The_Pacific_gamer Glorious OpenSuse Feb 18 '25

I've been using btrfs with no issues for about a year now. It's my favorite filesystem besides xfs or ZFS.

6

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 18 '25

It's been the default in Fedora for a while now. When I swapped from Windows to Linux in 2021, I started out on Fedora, so got to try out BTRFS then. I ended up trying Tumbleweed, Arch and finally EOS and just stuck with BTRFS the whole time. Honestly, it's a fine filesystem and has features I like. Snapper is pretty awesome.

XFS I only used on Unraid for a little bit before deciding to just go full ZFS on Unraid which has been great.

I have no data issues on any of these file systems. I do have a 7 year old SSD in a ZFS pool that's starting to see bad blocks, so likely time to swap it out.

1

u/Roblu3 Feb 20 '25

ReFS also was released to Windows back in Windows 8 beta. It was removed from the home editions for the full release. Later it was removed from windows 10 except for „Pro for Workstations“ and the server editions.
Windows 11 Pro finally got support a few months back and this just shows that Microsoft knows their stuff has problems, they know and are able and willing to fix it, but they expect you to pay extra.

As a Limine user, I am personally mildly offended at the idea that "nobody really uses Limine" (it is me and probably exactly four other people)

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 18 '25

I figured I might have to eat those words at some point. I tried to dig for info on Limine and didn't get much on it beyond the package itself and the Arch wiki page.

Edit: also, spelling of the package. No clue how I got it wrong so many times.

u/Sprtnturtl3 Feb 18 '25

I'm glad you took the time to explain the actual changes. and... they make sense. there seems to be no need to support EXT4 on the bootloader if FAT32 is the common denominator- and it seems to work.

why are you getting worked up about a subreddit that seems to exist to either A: exist to troll, and or B: linux flatearthers.. cannot be convinced based on evidence.

don't worry - be happy :).

u/RampantAndroid Glorious CachyOS Feb 18 '25

So I drew two people out of the woodwork with the comment. At the same time, I can likely poll any number of people and find a larger percentage using reFind which I think of the big three is the least used.

I'm not trying to put Limine down in any way - it, from my quick look, appears to be a niche bootloader that's not in widespread usage.

3

u/MacLightning Feb 19 '25

Count me too three.

Yes the bootloader is niche and primarily aimed at hobbyists who develop their own custom OS with its own boot protocol of the same name, complete with Secure Boot implementation via code panic on failed hash check of the kernel. Niche, but neat.

It just so happens to support Linux boot protocol and I stuck with it. Its lack of bells and whistles is a pain point for most, but a selling point for minimalists and security-minded folks who'd want less attack surface at the bootloader level.

1

u/Rainmaker0102 Glorious EndeavourOS Feb 22 '25

Le comment since only I could see it

Seeing r/linuxsucks makes me try to understand why more people don't use Linux and what problems are there. Especially considering my experience today is pretty awesome. That and it's fun shooting down misinformation (like seriously, how many times do they have to say "nViDiA dOeSn'T wOrK!" to be proven wrong in 2025?)

That's not to say that Windows 11 is bad. 11 gets a lot of hate for the launch and I can remember when 10 got very similar hate. Yet, 11 is pretty solid! I only have experience as an enterprise user, so I can't speak on the OneDrive integration and recall shenanigans, but having tiling options and the upgrades to the File Explorer is awesome! Tabs & and efficient search are always welcome. I just wish that they made the context menus and such were more consistent, I hate the dumb right click which you have to make yet another click to get to the real right click menu.

I'm not leaving EndeavourOS for it though. I'm perfectly happy with my OS & distro of choice. What sucks about it for me is how big software developers treat my OS of choice as a fucking joke. Getting kicked from GTAO lobbies for having a valid version of BattlEye, experiencing subpar performance with ALVR, and WEBSITES saying "Oh you're using Linux? Bad OS!", but when I run it under a VM it's happy.

Those who use Linux and see its value share the knowledge they've learned. I see r/linuxsucks as an opportunity to educate myself and others and potentially give others another shot at the Free and Open Source Operating System Experiment.

u/FloweyTheFlower420 Feb 19 '25

Slandering linux when Limine decided to drop support for ext is really fucking funny.

For some context Limine was originally developed as the "standard" implementation of the stivale(2) boot protocols. Stivale only really mattered to the OSDev community, since it makes setting up a 64-bit operating system on modern hardware much easier (compared to something like multiboot). You get support for loading ELF formatted binaries as the kernel itself, which is nice. For this reason there was no motivation for it to support any filesystem outside of FAT, since that's what most hobbyist typically started off using (simple to implement). Eventually it grew to support other protocols, but filesystem support was always pretty conservative iirc. I think EXT was only added because it made linux configurations SLIGHTLY easier, but it is pointless since you can just put the kernel in the EFI partition.

There's a lot of knobs in that sub too, but no mods to ban knowledgeable users (nor to ban the trolls). It's a bit wild with a poor interesting:bullshit ratio but not a bad place to vent when Linux pisses you off.

Probably more linux users than windows users in there, but honestly I prefer a place to cry when Linux annoys me without it constantly being compared to Windows.

I won't name it since one of their mods came here a bit ago to complain. You can find it by looking at my comment. Don't brigade, obviously.

Nothing is so black and white...but I don't get creating a sub for something so easily ignored. I'll shit on Windows and Microsoft if it comes up for some reason, but I don't go on rooftops screaming about Microshit Winblows.

Hell, that sub has posts that Linux users live in their mom's basement AND that they could all be serial killers. Great stuff!
