    I guess someone really hates Linux, and he wants his online space to find like-minded people echo chamber. Nothing wrong with that. Tbh, I think there is no issue with this (they are in their self-contained bubble) and I think it’s problematic that the other side is actually reacting at all at this. By even reacting, you reduce yourself to that level.

      you don’t have to install it because it’s already there

      This sums up their knowledge in a single sentence, really. I wonder if they know they can build a computer and it won’t “have” anything on it. Or that Apple computers exist.

      drivers install for you without having to find them

      Lmao, lol even. Imagine not having a monolithic kernel. Imagine having a micro kernel where drivers need to be installed.

        Yeah, I really want a Nexus Mod Manager for Linux. They were working on one that would be universal, but that was killed IIRC. I think they may have said they’ll try to make the existing one work on Linux, but I can’t remember.

        It’s possible to get Vortox to work on Linux, but it’s a pain in the ass. You need to run in in the prefix, and I think it even needs to be installed there to manage things properly for some reason (I may be misremembering this). Some pieces of it will never work, so you’ll always have warnings, which is annoying. Magnet links also don’t work, and you have to copy/paste the link into the download mod thing. Overall, it’s a pain in the ass, but it’s still sadly the best option for many games. Most games I just do it manually at this point, but Skyrim needs a lot of mods for me to want to play it.

      As an IT, I can confirm we have to use the terminal for some sketchy workarounds every time we install Windows just to skip the Microsoft account thing

        Just add an autounattend.xml answers file in the iso before installing windows.
        I use https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/

        Recently I had to re-install and configure a bunch of software on 20ish machines.
        All I had to type during the install was the hostname, and powershell scripts did the rest (granted, those powershell scripts contained all the bullshit to get windows to actually behave and work like a proper OS).

        Uhhhh, are you not getting enterprise windows or whatever version is needed to be added to active directory?

        I set up quite a few computers for my last job and I just had to click the thing saying I was adding the computer to a domain and then I skipped the microslop account.

          Microslop does not want you to install Windows without a telemetry identifier Microslop account anymore. Not even Enterprise edition.

          I remember in ~1996 as Yahoo was getting huge and the new words “dot com” were on everyone’s lips, they ran a prize giveaway for the first person that could come forward with official government documentation saying their birth name could credibly be interpreted as “dot com”.

          The winner was this elderly lady “Dottie Com” who apparently was called “Dot” her whole life, and had never been on the Internet.

          I just burned some Perplexity tokens and it can’t find the story but I swear it is true

    Could have been a fun community to meme and shit on linux elitists but the creator is either seriously angry about it or rage baiting.

    1. Only hate speech allowed

    2. Ban for every other opinion

    3. “Non-toxic community”

      They mean “non-toxic within the community, toxic to everyone who we deem isn’t a ‘true scotsman’”

        “Misery loves company”

        When you see stuff like this, people just randomly hating on something that just seems so out there it’s usually because they’re insanely depressed and/or their life is in shambles. So the guy is in a miserable state and lashes out in hopes he can somehow make others lives equally as miserable so then he finally, in a way, won’t feel “alone”.

      I mean, it’s no different than AI Sucks, FuckCars, and a ton of other communities here (and I say this as a 3-year exclusive Linux user).

        Not really. People have reasons for hating AI and cars, and for going against the grain by doing so.

        Linux is just… Linux… anyone who doesn’t like it doesn’t have to use it. It’s just there, waiting to provide an alternative option to anyone who wants to break away from the proprietary mainstream…

        Like the other comment implies, we don’t get to choose to not live in a car-centric world, or one where AI companies aren’t fucking everything up. For that matter, we also don’t get to live in a world where Linux is prioritized over a corporate OS in the wider world. A FuckAI, FuckCars, or even FuckWindows community makes sense, in that we need to fight to change the status-quo to improve the world.

        FuckLinux is fighting for the status quo. It is actively pushing the repressive option. That’s how it’s different. It is not trying to change things; it’s trying to prevent things from changing.

        (Also, Lemmy is FOSS. If you’re advocating against FOSS then you should leave. How does someone like that even end up here?)

    It’s either satire or else it’s Microsoft doing guerilla marketing…

    Moderators run the sub, not the users. It’s not democratic, and we don’t care how you think it should be run

    Yeah, that sounds like Windows… (which you’re not allowed to bash, by the way!)

    LOL is that still a thing? I remember roasting that com from my Lemm.ee account and getting instabanned

    I thought it was like a meme community but I guess they’re serious?

    EDIT: I must be banned or something because all I found was this:
