I have gone back a while ago. Some subs are bad but most I frequent are the same as before. I now use lemmy on my phone and reddit on the PC. At least on reddit the Linux cult doesnt try to convert you everytime you say the word windows.
- You might wanna consider Nobara tho. It's a Fedora spin but with all the codecs preinstalled.
  
  and please you have to stop using xorg. Xorg is terrible and makes puppies cry, stahp w/ it
  
  I'll consider it when it works on all the hardware Windows does.
  
  It pretty much does. It cannot, however, run all the software that can run in Windows, which is the bigger issue.
- Have you heard of our lord and saviour Linus? You have to let Linux into your heart my child.
  
  Linus Sebastian rules
  
  Did he ever release his own findings on how bad his company harassed that girl?
  I don't think he rules or its even a nice human being
  
  They hired a 3rd party investigator for that. Nothing has been release and most likely won't be.
  
  Lol, pity he dislikes Linux.
  
  I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
  Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
  
  New copypasta just dropped
  
  Unix, the father, Linux the son and GNU the holy ghost.
- Did you say windows!?
- wrong because you didn't mention arch Linux. and like, how it's a total rolling release you guise.
- Oh god why did you say it w-
- Windows, Chrome, Capitalism, and cars rule!
