You're absolutely right. Microsoft has systematically killed every reason I have for having their software on my pc. I'm not switching to linux because linux got better (although it certainly has). I'm ditching windows because windows now sucks more than I can bare.

jollyrogue ,

You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.

I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.

We are not the same. 😂

I use linux because I can make it look like Vegetable Valley from the Kirby games.

I use Linux cuz I was bored one summer

MentorKitten ,

That'll probably be me this summer once I organize and backup my files

@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

I didn't even backup. I just went for it

I use Linux because of the 3D desktop cube. Who doesn’t love the cube!

TheFish ,

Beryl?

explodicle ,

Wtf is her problem with the cube?

mexicancartel ,

And wobbly windows

rtxn ,

Sisko and Picard.

schnurrito ,

ahhh i remember being a bored teenager spending his life customizing his desktop too...

Nowadays I just want a working system where I can get things done, haven't touched my desktop environment settings in a while and certainly don't use things like cubes or wobbly windows anymore.

I liked that one band before they became popular. That's what you sound like.

milicent_bystandr ,

I listen to band's music because I like their music.

You listen to band because you hate music.

We are not the same?

One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.

I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.

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.

some ~~games ~~only run on Windows.

some app only runs on wondows

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 ,

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 ,

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

Longpork3 ,

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 ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

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.

SeattleRain ,

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

lauha ,

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

reddit_sux ,

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

milicent_bystandr ,

By abandoning the transcendent dream of the Hurd in favour of earthly solutions.

laurelraven ,

I mean, can't it be both?

SquirtleHermit ,

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

laurelraven ,

So, this meme is a sith?

soggy_kitty ,

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

explodicle ,

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.

Meron35 ,

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 ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

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.

pyre ,

wow, bravo.... BRAVO!

Suavevillain ,
@Suavevillain@lemmy.world avatar

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

Humorless4483 ,

I use Linux because I care about privacy.

You use Linux because you want to rice.

We’re not the same.
