They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux… At this point, It’s endlessly annoying, as it’s on literally every post about any operating system.

In both cases, I’ve encountered a lot more people complaining about them than I have obnoxious Linux users or vegans

Vegans care about the well-being of other creatures, so that’s actually a kind comparison.

Too kind for me. There would be more software made for me if others stopped letting proprietary software take advantage of them.

We constantly hear about all the bad shit MS is doing, then somebody points out an alternative, and then people like you get pissed off about it. “NO. I don’t want to hear about the alternatives! I’ll stick to Microsoft, they’ll stop their antics some day, I can fix her them ❤️”

Maybe if people don’t want to hear about OS alternatives, they should stop complaining about the one they have?

I don’t understand the anger that springs up when people say “this isn’t an issue on Linux”. If your washing machine kept leaking water all over your floor, and someone said “hey have you considered getting a different one?” it’d be insane to get angry at them for that, yet it happens all the time with OSes. It’s just a tool. You don’t owe allegiance to an OS.

This needs to happen with Appl too. AppleTV/Safari/Messages/etc app for MacOS + SIP my ass. Its not integral and if you’ve made it so you need to unmake it so, along with other bundled crap. SIP should literally refer to that and only that in aggregate which is necessary to ensure the system is able to function, not per se function in an un-overruleable way for the maker.

Don’t forget TV brands like samsung and LG who force some apps down your throat even if you don’t want them. You can’t remove those apps. Amazon is even worse with their firetv devices, they just install apps on your behalf that you can’t remove. We don’t own anything anymore.

Ya but I can just use a box and not have the TV itself connected to the internet and you can have it in gaming mode so you basically never see the splash screen with all tha crap

I do this as well, but the smart TV bullshit on my Vizio constantly switches itself back on.

I have a button on my remote now that fixes my input by switching to the box in one fell swoop because this happens so much. There is no setting to stop this, as I already have it set to not change the input.

Yes. They should allow removing apps like Safari and, as you said, Apple TV, iMessage, and other non-basic (on a computer) utilities, then downloading them again from the App Store.

On an unrelated note, I also turn off SIP to change the icons of system apps.

You’re either being intellectually disingenuous, or you’re new to Lemmy. Every goddamn thread about Windows here ends up littered with “jokes” about how great Linux is, and how shitty Windows is.

It’s beyond exhausting at this point.

Because Linux, by its very nature, is the solution to these kinds problems, but if you insist on suffering through using Windows thats on you.

Last time I used Linux it came with its own bag of problems like hunting down drivers and incompatibility issues and random bugs that wouldn’t let me use the wifi without digging up solutions in some obscure forum. Maybe it’s not the case anymore but I don’t hear many people lauding it for its competitive UX and ease of use.

I only have Linux on my servers at home and at work, as well as on my laptop, and I agree with that, it’s arrogant and getting so damn old. Lemmy has such a boner for Linux and loves shoving it in everyone’s faces.

You do realize that Lemmy is an opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are passionate about Linux? Does it really come as surprise that Lemmy is full of Linux enthusiasts?

If you don’t like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary social network instead, maybe one with a red alien logo or with a blue ‘f’…

I don’t get why you’re offended by someone jokingly pushing Linux?

To be fair, there are so many opportunities to make these jokes because of how Microsoft behaves that maybe that’s the real issue here?

It doesn’t look like they’re getting offended to me.

Imagine you have a friend that you see daily. Every time you see them, they make the same joke. How quickly do you think you’ll get tired of the joke?

We get it, you like food. Now let people talk about eating human shit without constantly talking about what you put in your mouth.

We just want to eat human shit in peace. Stop telling us there’s a better way, we get it, you don’t like human shit and you think we should be eating food instead. Stop preaching about it.

So far, but try uninstalling Edge and then imagine an average non-technical user trying to.
