If Linux evangelists spent just 1/10th of their time on convincing the buffoons at Gnome to stop raping the user experience, you wouldn't have to waste a single second telling people to use Linux, because everyone would be using it already. Alas, as long as the Linux experience is "you don't need to see your windows, you don't need to change this random setting, you don't need to be able to do the most basic shit for absolutely no reason," what everyone will get is "you don't need Linux." It's okay though, it's not your fault only, it spreads to every other free alternative. Nobody uses literally the only alternative to Chr*me anymore because the devs of Firefox thought that their first priority should be to make even the simplest shit like installing unsigned add-ons completely impossible. Privative cancer doesn't need advertising, having free software devs who clearly hate on every single soul who could consider using free alternatives is more than enough.

shills got a budget increase and are venturing to 8chan it seems Who the fuck even uses windows/mac except subhumans >it doesn't work Fuck I'm playing forza horizon 4 on it this very moment >but time Total setup time: zero seconds I literally just run it with proton and it works, so does every other game >but (insert technical program) I use reaper and it just works, literally everything I try just works, shills should kill themselves

>>23118 >it spreads to every other free alternative This is something I worry about. I don't use gnome anymore because it's fucking gay, and KDE both looks prettier and is more user-friendly. I don't want these hacks to come shit up KDE development once gnome collapses due to what I'm guessing is pajeetery on overdrive.

The average win/mac user is so deep within plato's cave that you'd end up giving them an existential crisis if you got them to fully understand why modern tech is dog shit and pure evil. I've been at enough parties, dinners, and trade shows where this topic and adjacent ones come up and its always the same responses >I have nothing to hide >Its too late, its all out there anyway >I don't care >I don't have time for that >I'm not a techy person >Wow, thats crazy *goes back to using their iPhone* >"heh heh...linux is only free if you don't value your time" Fuck them all, they deserve their fate.

>>23117 There is also 0 reason to use linux other than to be the vegan on the IT sphere. All of them do the same shit all of them have the same shit all of them have the same fucking problem because all of them copies each other. You can get all of them for free if you look around.

>>23258 Thanks, but I'm sticking with Linux. Enjoy your vibe coded spyware that you got for ((((free)))).

Linux is just as privacy free as any other OS in the hands of a newbie who is probably going to install a fuck ton of packages and not turn off anything at all like avahi print server I do be a Linux enjoyer but I've never once kid myself that I'm escaping the bots

>>23301 You're just wrong. It may not be perfect in all cases but it is far better than stock W11, W10, and macOS.
