I actually like Linux, but I'm considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it's so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

My guy, you are on linuxmemes lmao

I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.

Distros and package managers are bad. Reject modernity, embrace compiled source. Burn Lennart Pottering at the stake!

No, I'm on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, "Linux good, Binbows bad."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Binbows isn't that bad, it's Michaelsoft as a company we should worry about.

It's 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don't have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don't have anything positive to say about their OS lol.

Lemme get this straight. Microsoft successfully got a patent for a feature that KDE had before Windows did?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was missing the KDE style drag/resize windows with modifier keys, then I found https://penc.app that kinda fills that void

it also does snapping and auto 50% with trackpad gesture

The first thing I do with a new Mac is install Better Touch Tool UI. It's mandatory software for Mac as far as I'm concerned.

Calm down MacOS hasn't done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don't get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

"We did the thinking for you, and you'll like it." Might as well be their slogan.

When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.

Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.

I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?

Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.

Ah yes, the notoriously unintuitive feature known as… drag and drop.

No no no they didn’t do that didn’t they?

Needless to say, just makes myself happy to use Linux in 2023. Never buying another Windows device.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't agree with the Mac one.

The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

It's absolutely awful.

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that's it. You can't open anything, you can't delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

It's so fucking bad.

I tried Windows 11 on an old laptop I had. Experience:
"Why the hell is TikTok installed?"
Clicks icon
"Installing TikTok"
"No, you retard!"

How about not using slurs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lol Apple absolutely does not do that... They just add extra crap nobody wants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

People say why go the extra step just to disable ads and uninstall crap on windows 10, but never say why go extra extra step just to get that one windows software running on Linux oh and MacOS is fucking suck lol

The word art really makes the joke

I thought ubuntu tried to do an opt-out-able advertising scheme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

At least you could opt out of the amazon search without paying money or installing 3rd party software
