you should use linux
- 👍
  
  Should at least give it a try
- You really should.

Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
- Fuck you and your stupid code, man! You fucking fucktard cannot distinguish a ; from a :! I do not care how fucking unpaid you loser are, get. this. code. right. Now fuck off!
  Word of our Lord and Saviour
  
  Amen
  
  He works in a mysterious way
  
  I quote this every day
  
  fuck you nvidia 🖕
  
  He do be right
- I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.
  
  We need Linus to fly to Africa and ride on a wildebeast. There's just no other way to achieve world peace.

Totally understandable. Haven't used windows at all, home or work, in at least a decade. However, I went through my insufferable Linux zealot phase about 15 years ago.
I was an annoying judgemental ass, but I got better.
- proud of you for your growth, and more than that, your willingness to admit so aloud 🙇‍♀️ 👑
  
  That's not to say that I still don't honestly consider Linux a better option in most use cases. I just don't generally wade in past the most simple explanations of stuff.
  If people want to switch, they will. I've realized I'm not doing anyone any favours by being pushy.
- Me at 16, shitting on people who use OSX (iOS wasn’t a thing then)
  Now me: oodles of Windows machines, three Linux machines, a Mac laptop, and an iPhone because fuck dealing with custom ROMs

Did you know every time you download chrome a Hitler gets his wings?
- I have so many questions about this pantheon you believe in.
  
  Infinite universes, infinite Hitler's. And Chrome powers them all.

Use Temple OS
- Whenever I read that joke I get sad. His pictures on the Wiki article from 1990 and from 2000 tells one everything.
  (If anyone wonders: Yes, I am great at parties.)
- how do you know i don’t?
  
  Because you seem to have networking capabilities
  
  It's not whether you do or you don't. You should.

I use Arch btw.
- my back arches btw /flirt

Lemmy ain’t gonna like this. Ain’t gonna like it one bit.
- i get being passionate but when its every. single. comment. it gets exhausting.
  it’s like if i went and commented “BE A VEGAN” under every picture of a burger on c/foodporn. like live your truth!!, but be decent about it for goodness sake.
  
  I get it.
  Im literally a Linux support guy for a living and even I think people can be obnoxious recommending Linux.
  Don’t get me wrong, I’ll shit on Windows when I get the chance, but I get why people either have to use it or just don’t want the hassle of Linux.
  
  IMO it's Redditor behavior. I hate Microsoft and Windows but there are some really annoying, overbearing Linux know-it-alls on Lemmy. It's possible to inform people of Linux without being an annoying asshole
  
  Preach.
- Love Linux, definitely foresee myself having it as a daily driver in the not too distant future. That out of the way, I initially thought “is this even a shitpost” lmao
- They can't bother you if you block them.
  For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.
- lemmy got an unchecked autist rule prob zaddy 🥺

Linux made my computing fun and free again. It's not for everyone but it did spark my interest and finally settled to be happy with the change.
Ymmv, though don't rule it out how anything could impact you personally. Playing the hard to try way might poison any cool potential personal discoveries on your own.

I should use linux
- performing inward self investigation as a way of improvement while allowing others to make that decision for themselves
  based.

I was lucky to be in a few companies that enforce win, Linux and Mac laptops.
In the win company (a pretty big one, everyone has heard of it), they've given me Think pad T14 that had an i3 proc that was falling behind 3 generations.
In the Linux company they've supplied me with a disgusting chromebook, "because everything in the cloud now". Discussed ByOD, worked from my own one.
In the most recent company - the smallest one I've been working in, they've given me a decent M1 Pro with 16 Gb.
So at least, companies that enforce Mac will give you a decent machine to work on.
- This is why a prefer Mac shops. It's kinda hard to buy a current Mac and have the stats be actual dogshit.
  I swear most windows shop try to find the shittiest machine that even qualifies as a laptop then load it with so much corpo wear that even Outlook sends the machine into thermal limiting
  
  8GB of RAM is a dog shit spec

You should use BSD
- Im not into that kinky shit
- if i wanted to use a discontinued OS i’d use plan 9 but that’s just me
  
  Bsd's not disconinued people use it, there are dozens of us dozens
- Beastie 🥵

You def should tho

Hey buddy, Linux is cool AF you should try it.

You should use Unix
- macOS is certified UNIX
- And feed those SUS bastards? Nah, thanks.
- Beastie 🥵

Cool, tomorrow is my turn to make this kind of post
- sounds good have fun
- Wow six downvotes, I assume by microsoft
- Is there a sign up sheet or something for that? I don't want to miss out on getting a turn.

You should use linux

you should use Linux

When has anyone ever recommended windows/macos over Linux for compatibility?
- daily, perhaps. hourly, even.
  
  Why though? I've failed to run windows 10 on an old laptop and windows 11 won't even officially support something without TPM 2 and just seems to want to commit suicide on my machine (and take any other bootloader to the grave with it). Macos gets updates for a few years until it doesn't and then software won't run on the older/newer versions. I personally don't know of any software that wouldn't run when I updated to Linux kernel version 6 (likely some drivers that aren't maintained though) and I'm also running Linux on my old Pentium 4 with no problems except overheating in summer which is probably because it needs to be cleaned.

- not the scenario i am representing, but thank you for your judgemental and condescending comment 👍
- More like:
  Gives one huge reason that is bigger than all those other reasons combined why Linux is just a not an option what so ever
- You perfectly demonstrated why people will never listen to you. Think about it, you'll get it.

Can you share examples of this happening?
(I mean, obviously this thread has lots of "you should use Linux"'s in it, but those are clearly satirical.)
- i can but i don’t want to :)
  browse any OS related post under c/all, they will find you
  
  You complain about OS recomendations under OS related posts?
- lol was this sarcasm? This has to be sarcasm.
