TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

Linux desktop users might be the most delusional bunch in all of tech. Statements like this are why Linux is never going to be as easy to use as osx/Windows.

Damn, still hovering around negative two thousand? You can do it! Don't let people get you down by ignoring your trolls. You are a troll, you are beautiful, and your contrarianism is annoying af! Don't ever let anyone tell you different. I'm sorry people aren't downvoting you at a rate high enough to smash that goal. You will get there.

👌👍🤣

Year of the Linux desktop, this is definitely the year.

Omg you did it! Bi-millenial troll-fuckery award goes to LemmyIsFantasticForBeingAnnoying!!! -2000 karma and counting! Imagine all the people having a good day when they scrolled down and saw some stupid shit take you wrote! So much fun!!!!!!

It's amazing how much time you spend coming at me specifically 🤣

The irony of you calling me a troll while following around commenting on all my stuff because you disagree is really unhinged shit lol.

And before you say anything, the tag only exists to identify a commenter who shouldn't be taken seriously, which is absolutely well earned on your part. Side benefit is mild return trolling. You gotta admit -2000 karma is a ridiculous milestone, intentional or otherwise

I tagged you in my client, but honestly since you literally comment shitty stuff 72 times a day it would be hard to miss you.

Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.

Windows is free though.

Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

No, you download it for free from Microsoft. No need to buy a pre built machine.

I’m the manufacturer of all of my computers though? So there’s no cost? I don’t know what you’re getting at.

I'm more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.

Windows 11 Pro is $200. There are ways to get it cheaper, but that is what Microsoft charges for it...and they still collect a bunch of data and serve you a bunch of ads.

I’m never touching Windows 11, but it’s… free. I’ve installed it on computers for folks upon request. You just use an activator and debloater.

Microsoft doesn't serve you anything and doesn't collect anything.

It literally isn't.

Even if you pirate it, you still pay with the immense amount of data they take, even if you opt out of a bunch of it (which you can only do temporarily anyway).

Bro it's cool if your needs are best served by Windows or OS X but please don't lump me along with childish ideologues like OP. I've switched to Linux on my work Desktop about seven years ago, yet that didn't make me feel the need to go full-communist about it, nor do I hold it up as some kind of free market success story.
