“As a Linux user…”

Yeah yeah, you’re right. But can you maybe shut up about it for just a minute?

USE LINUX

LINUX IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY

MICROSOFT SUCKS APPLE SUCKS GOOGLE SUCKS

THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

    I don’t care much about what other people are comfortable in using, but please don’t expect tech support from me. Every time I have to use Windows I get frustrated at how it forcibly feeds me stuff I don’t want. Although I admit that sometimes I joke to people to switch to Linux when they get frustrated with Windows as well, but that’s about it.

    And also, some popular memes about Linux are probably just that, memes. Don’t take it too seriously.

      The force feeding of news and shit is fucking enraging! Why on earth did they start pushing that, and why is it so hard to turn off? Why do they turn it back on at every opportunity? I have a Surface Pro that I use for digital painting. I’ll be happily just painting along when I misclick the system notification area and all of the sudden “Trump! Trump! Trump! Outrage! Doom! Gloom! Global catastrophe!” gets shoved in my face. I’ll open a fucking browser if I want to see the news. Ugh! Fuck off! That’s honestly a huge part of the reason I finally switched to Linux as my primary OS.

      Try going to a Linux community and telling them for what reason you wouldn’t use Linux in a specific case or to whom you wouldn’t recommend Linux. You’ll quickly see a lot of responses that aren’t just memes.
