GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I knew all those Linux users were dirty sluts.
Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit
You must not browse All much then. There's a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn't very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is "windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit" linux users are going to reply with "use Linux".
It's like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

I don't come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users.......I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.
How is that too many Linux users???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like "ACTUALLY IT'S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!"
Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can't turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.
......and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it's core concepts and user culture.
Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!!
........but I never said there were TOO MANY!!!!
people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux
Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it's not like they went out and specifically 'learned Windows'. Most people just don't give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.
For the other 4% of people, there's Linux!

Lemmy users are hookers confirmed
The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.

More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.
They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.

Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.
I actually don't know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.
Should have called it Linuxy
Looking at you c/linuxsucks
I'd never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It's now my preferred PC. But it's also super-duper polished and painless.

Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don't think this is really a thing.

And LGBT+ people (who are also overrepresented in brothels)
(That is a statement of fact, not judgement)
