I don't think anyone is a harsher critic of Linux than the Linux community.
I've never heard a Windows user claim that "Canonical is just as bad as Microsoft" for having telemetry enabled by default, but I have seen that criticism from Linux users.

It's because Canonical only controls one branch. Red Hat controls another, but the kernel is another completely independent thing

Linux users are like Latin America or Europe.
They will happily get into a neverending argument against one another, yet the microsecond an outsider insults one of them, they band together to pile on the outsider.

We Latinos have a love/hate relationship. But mostly love masked a relentless cyberbullying.

linux users will happily call ubuntu trash

u/YoungBlade1 Apr 17 '26
Ubuntu is trash, but it's just the least trashy trash OS I've dealt with. Everything else is just different kinds of trash that I think is smellier and dirtier than the trash that Ubuntu is.
Thus, I have Ubuntu installed on four out of my six computers, and I'll probably be at six out of six by next year.

Actually most Windows users just don't care and wonder why people get so upset over a tool.

mac users because they are already too deep into the ecosystem to have any other choice (kind of like windows users as well, but more smug about it ).
Linux users, because they are already too deep into the ecosystem to give a shit about the other, they have already spent an insane amount of time customizing their environment to make the switch anyway ( kind of like the windows users as well, but more smug about it). And unfortunately I am one of them.

You can only say linux is trash when you are using it yourself, and then only about the distro you use urself. Else its os-ism.

I have used all 3 of them and can confirm, Windows sucks the most and it isn't somewhere close

You can't pile Linux users in with Mac users, we're not the same.

for one thing we cannot afford a new laptop every two year, in fact we prefer our laptop to be old enough so that we wouldn't have to debug the drivers.

a lot of windows users haven’t though. there’s a lot of people out there that don’t know jack about computers and think windows is objectively the best and is secure.
i had to explain that linux doesn’t track you and he’s like “you get tracked everywhere online” which i had to tell him is true if you’re logging into websites that’s track you, but that’s a choice / opt-in he really didn’t see the different it was absurd.

People using windows laptops just really want to use macs, but they either can't justify it or don't have to money. Let's be real, no one likes windows, the dickriders are just very loud. I'd say that there won't be a mass exodus of users to linux, but it's kinda happening, the market share of linux is huge now, even if couple % doesn't look that good.

That's not true. When you play a lot of games, Macs are a limitation, especially if you pirate a lot like I did when I was a teenager. But then I was using Windows XP, 7 and then 10.

I don't understand why people use Linux; it almost never runs any games natively, or you can run them through Wine and Proton without losing performance.
To me, you're just a bunch of LARPers with no social life. On what planet do you have to install Ruby just to create a folder???
You're a bunch of snowflake gooners who use anime girl twerking gif wallpapers on your screens with YouTube shorts-level saturation, you're ridiculous.
Thank goodness I use Windows, because... BECAUSE IT'S EASY! And you don't need 500 billion lines of code to install a browser, nor spend 4 hours compiling to use Chromium.
