Yeah, you clearly are a newbie if you missed the obvious flag that my username presents. I'm a fucking old sysop you nimrod. I know Win, *Nux, Netware not because I want to know, but because my fucking job requires me to know. And you know what you figure out after a while of messing around with all of the crap that exists? Nothing is pure.
So yeah, you be 16 year old me and repeat my own mistakes. Rant about corpo crap without even knowing what a job is. Rant about fucking principles when you still afford them. Also give me the spiel about how FOSS is superior to closed source because arbitrary reasons. If you live long enough, you'll get the nuance to stop spouting crap that doesn't mean shit outside of your bubble.
Seriously, you are literally teenage me. I'm so glad I grew out of this phase. But man, you seriously need to pick up a fucking sysman every once in a while and stop sniffing the farts of the in-crows of popular lin distros.
No , you just gave up. Stop lying to yourself. You hide behind muh affordability because that's the convenient excuse to use to not think about this.
The status quo will benefit you for giving up entirely and disparaging those who advocate for freedom.
"Teenage me" sounds like a mask off moment for you being a bitter out of touch person. You endorse the status quo and hide it under emotional rants of being more mature than the rest of us.
I'm only commenting to this because I don't want younger folks or to be caught up in your self hate spiral.
Its GNU/Linux because clowns like you exist and won't shut up. People deserve better, they don't deserve someone like you frothing at the mouth at the fact that you don't believe a better world is possible.
You're incredibly lucky that a majority of "Linux"/tech communities tolerate you.
I didn't so much give up as I was forced to reconcile the false narratives posed by the bubble I was living in versus getting the fucking job done at the end of the day. Having to actually work according to legal standards, KPIs, milestones and visions really makes you realize the limitations of certain systems and the pitfalls of them. That only comes with experience.
And I don't fucking *need *communities to tolerate me, because I don't care. Again, you're speaking like some teenager on Twitter that's worried about likes more than someone whose got insight. If I need a *nux server for anything, I'll use it. But I'm not going to let blind FOSS bullshit idealism bar me from getting the job done at the end of the day.
Now, if you had any brains you'd realize that smugly telling windows lusers to switch their OS is only going to piss them off. If you REALLY wanted to be a suave motherfucker, you could tell the users how to fix their shit and then tell them WHY shit like that happens (99% because win is a mono system, which *Nux isn't) and then suggest a distro that would work for a switch, maybe link to some handy guides or shit like that.
But no, you're 16 year old me instead who giggles at Tux memes and tells people to switch when they ask for help. Fucking cringe.
