      You are annoyed that an open source website populated by nerds has a lot of Linux users?

      What do you think Lemmy servers run on? What do you think the developers who made Lemmy use? I’ll give you a hint, it’s the thing you want people to stop talking about

      yeah Linux makes sense in an Tech/IT working environment, but thats it. And people here act like it’s a wonder thing that can do anything, when its in reality lacking a lot.

      Are industry standard programms like Microsoft Office or Adobe Suite etc. supported No? then it’s completely useless for 90% of the working environments. Do games support it? Only some? most of them in a inferior version than the windows counterparts, well then its useless for gaming too.

      UX is way better on Windows too because it’s less complicated

        Some of us are more than willing to deal with rough edges to not be spied on and dicked around by Microsoft and other “black box” software. I’ve been using it on my personal desktop for 20 years just fine. There are enough open source PDF viewers now that I don’t need Adobe’s bloated horseshit, and LibreOffice opens MS Office shit just fine.

        Proton for gaming is only getting better every day, not worse. You should have seen the scene in say, 2002. Where in 2023, 90% of them will run mostly fine, back then it was basically zero except for Quake and Unreal Tournament native ports.
