I don’t come onto Lemmy and complain that there are TOO MANY linux users…I generally make fun of the fact that the last time I heard, about 2 months ago, Linux is at an all time high userbase of about 4% of PC users. Linux has been around 30+ years, and has an all time high userbase of 4%.
How is that too many Linux users???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! See, the funny part is when the defenders of Linux get their panties in a bunch and downvote, and say things like “ACTUALLY IT’S BETTER THAN WINDOWS!!!”
Which is just engaging in whataboutism. I never defended Windows. Windows is a flaming dumpster fire, which self admits to spying on your screen activity, and sending that data back to HQ to monitor your usage. They promote that as a FEATURE of Windows 11 that you can’t turn off. They even backported it to Windows 10. They have forced updates. Users are not the end goal of Windows.
…and yet people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux. Which just goes to show what Linux users CANNOT admit to themselves. That Linux is a worse operating system for the majority of people purely based on it’s core concepts and user culture.
Then I get to laugh as Linux defenders get SOOOOOOO angry!!!

Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it’s not like they went out and specifically ‘learned Windows’. Most people just don’t give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.
You’re suggesting that 96% of the PCs on earth are all work related PCs? NOBODY has a personal PC at home that they could install WHATEVER OS they wanted on? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly before I laugh wildly at your suggestion.
Not who you were talking to but most people who have a PC at home aren’t installing an OS on it. They’re using windows cause that’s what came out of the box. Most of us windows users wouldn’t go out of our way to install windows if Linux came preprogrammed. It’s more convenient to not install any damn thing.

For the other 4% of people, there’s Linux!

Laugh away! Especially since I didn’t suggest anything!
Sometimes baiting is just too easy
