Switched to linux before it became mainstream ( lemmy.world )

I use windows cause I play on vrchat a lot

AnUnusualRelic , vor einem Monat

While I did switch to Linux because Windows 3.11 (or more specifically MS Word) sucked, I never found the need to go back, even back then. So there's that.

I use Linux because it's great and better than windows

I use Linux because it plays games better.

We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

Vive and vive pro are solid, but they're so old that msrp isn't worth the quality by current standards.

I use linux because both, we are not the same

I use Linux because Docker doesn't run natively on Macs.

I don't give a shit about our relation because I have a life.

Presi300 , vor einem Monat

It's available in homebrew though

suction , vor einem Monat

what do you mean?

Presi300 , vor einem Monat

Do you not use homebrew on macos?

suction , vor einem Monat

Yes I do but how does the install method change the fact that Docker containers cannot run without a virtualisation layer like they do on Linux?

Presi300 , vor einem Monat

No idea, I just saw that there is a docker cask available, so I assume it works

suction , vor einem Monat

Don’t worry about it

zaphod , vor einem Monat

Docker on macos runs in a virtual machine, for some people that might not be desirable.

Presi300 , vor einem Monat

Then what's the point of it lmao

zaphod , vor einem Monat

Some devs like macos, stuff still needs to be deployed to linux servers, possibly using docker containers.

Presi300 , vor einem Monat

I do, though I like my Mac hardware while the software is just good enough to not annoy me too much...

I use linux because I love penguins.

We're not the same.

I use Linux because I care about privacy.

You use Linux because you want to rice.

We’re not the same.

Suavevillain , vor einem Monat

Hey long as you get here on Linux it is all good lol.

pyre , vor einem Monat

wow, bravo.... BRAVO!

Meron35 , vor einem Monat

You use Linux because of your superiority complex and need to be seen as cool.

I use Linux because I'm broke.

We are not the same.

linearchaos , vor einem Monat

I use Linux because I don't trust windows, I don't like the direction Microsoft is headed, and I'm bored.

We're not the same either, but that's ok. We can still all have each other's backs.

It's interesting how the open source model and enshittification have pulled both OSes in opposite directions. I used to look forward to the newest version of Windows because it had cool useful stuff.

laurelraven , vor einem Monat

I mean, can't it be both?

SquirtleHermit , vor einem Monat

Not if you want to apply the "we are not the same meme" format. That... Like a sith... Only deals in absolutes.

laurelraven , vor einem Monat

So, this meme is a sith?

soggy_kitty , vor einem Monat

Move the h in "sith" two characters to the left. Then I'll agree with your statement

SeattleRain , vor einem Monat

How do you get to the level where you think Linux is good.

lauha , vor einem Monat

By not being a depressed cynic who only sees shite in everything

reddit_sux , vor einem Monat

By remembering that Linux is not Windows is not MacOS. It is a different operating system and different way to do thing.

By using it

As it turns out its all subjective

FlashMobOfOne , vor einem Monat

I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

It's both.

I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

TwinTusks , vor einem Monat

some ~~games ~~only run on Windows.

some app only runs on wondows

FlashMobOfOne , vor einem Monat

Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

That's okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

bricklove , vor einem Monat

I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh

lastweakness , vor einem Monat

Shouldn't your huawei tablet support mtp just fine though?

Longpork3 , vor einem Monat

I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn't worth it. Nowadays I just don't buy games that don't run on Linux.

Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

FlashMobOfOne , vor einem Monat

Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

The problem I have now is that, soon, I'm gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC's pretty fast, so the reboot doesn't really bug me all that much.
