This is hilarious.
My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.
ALL ABOARD THE WINDOWS SUX COX TRAIN! CHOO CHOO MFs!!
WhO cArEs iF cOrPoRaTiOnS rUiN eVeRyThInG
Can I get a CHOOO CHOOOO!?
Sorry to be clear, I am not saying Linux sucks. I just don't have an opinion on desktop operating systems. And I was tired of every other post on my feed being about operating systems instead of the dumb internet pictures that I love and crave.
I enjoy Linux memes.
But not when the only joke they can muster being "Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]"
The templeOS jokes kill another piece of me everytime I read them
insert thing that hasn't happened since Windows 7 here
See the problem is, and I've experienced this myself, you leave Windows when it has a set of issues that have been long running. Then years later you get into an argument or make a meme and Windows now actually fixed that issue without you noticing because, well you're not using it anymore.
Still would like some memes other than "hurr durr, Windows bad", there's plenty of memeable content within the Linux ecosystem (like every second app for a small niche ignoring XDG_HOME and just shitting the config files all over your home directory)
I think the issue is that most Linux users aren't technically proficient enough to understand and make actual Linux memes about things like XDG_HOME, so the best they can think of is "Windows bad".
Yeah it's like a person who likes squid pizza and attempts to insert their love for the pizza every sentence they utter.
Some of us just like a simple pineapple pizza. And we're too deep into it you cannot change us without changing the very atoms that comprise our earthly bodies.
