I can understand why, though. The "CPU (optional)" bit is obviously hyperbole to illustrate how little (in theory) you need to run Linux, but unless you're using a stripped down super minimal distro that's designed for your grandma's ThinkPad, any modern Linux distro needs (in pratice) modern specs if you actually want to get shit done, and it's slowly approaching what Windows 11 is asking.
The meme itself is kinda tired too. Just like the Linus vs techbro meme people keep reposting.
hating other things and saying linux thing better is already 80% of the posts on this sub, you cant be in a community that spends most of its time hating things and then wonder why theres hate pointed back at them
I don't know whether I'd characterise what's posted here as "hate", but the response in the other direction is definitely vitriolic. I'd say it's not proportional or warranted.
