Meanwhile the whole marketplace they’re standing in is run on Linux servers

I feel like this is specifically targeted at the one user posting stuff on the linuxsucks community
5 daysIt’s hilarious and the older ones especially are riddled with references you’d find in the linuxmemes comm
He did try, years ago, to post cynical but inoffensive memes. I’m pretty sure I had to suspend his account at some point. He’s also gotten himself banned from political communities for quoting holocaust deniers, using ableist slurs, and generally being a wanker. He’s also posted some antisemitic remarks on other communities. The modlog his quite colorful.

Does he also think number generators are the words of God and is working to build his own OS from scratch?

I mean this goes both ways. Someone asks for help diagnosing an issue in windows and inevitably some snarky Linux user feels compelled to say something unhelpful.
Yeah as a huge linux fan we gotta be honest with ourselves 😅 we’re kinda fuckin insufferable at times
I think a lot of the technical folks who built the space made interpersonal skills kind of a dump stat- and to be fair, I benefit enormously from the technical ability they have in exchange for that lack of social skill. But it does define the culture of Foss spaces in a bunch of ways that aren’t the greatest 😅

It’s odd to me to be a fan of an OS. It’s the nuts and bolts needed to make a computer do things I actually care about.

So you mean like the OS? It’s literally the most important (software) aspect of the whole thing

I like where my car takes me. I have zero interest in its transmission.

You would care about (or at least pay attention to) the transmission if your car kept breaking down because of it. But unlike a car, on a computer you could relatively easy change out the OS with something else.
As always, the analogy between cars and computers are not one to one.

I would not suddenly take up a deep interest in transmissions, their workings, their manufacturers, which types are mechanically superior, subscribe to a transmission subreddit, argue with strangers about which ones are best, etc…

Again, you can’t compare a transmission to an operating system. And not everyone using Linux takes a deep dive into everything in there. But if your Ford kept having transmission issues you might go with a Toyota the next time - that’s what I meant about caring/paying attention

Stall owner proceeds to share their opinion about Windows and Microsoft in general.
Windoew guy starts foaming at the mouth and shouting incoherently.
