i love r/linuxsucks it's full of clueless casual users
like imagine tomato except there are like 15 more clones of him and they all post to this one subreddit

@nyanide I keep saying it, the Linux community is bad. And he's right, most of the good software you associate with Linux is available on Windows too. So there's little incentive in switching to Linux in the first place.

Until user friendliness becomes a priority, Linux is not a good choice for a desktop OS for the average user.
It's a good choice for some programmers, people who like to tinker, and maybe some other niche users. But not for... pretty much everyone else on Earth.

@sysrq @alyx @nyanide ok so your OS sucks and you only use it because it's signals that you are in a cool kid club.
@branman65 @alyx @sysrq you're arguing with a guy who has a plan 9 cluster, you are not going to meet eye to eye with him
@branman65 @alyx @sysrq What I'm trying to communicate to you is that he does in fact like gatekeeping useful software.
@nyanide @alyx @sysrq that's so gay, man. What are they afraid is going to happen if they dirty non-programming socks people start using good software?
@branman65 @alyx @sysrq Megacorporations will start adopting it for more than just servers and Linux will become NT part 2. NT fucking sucks.
@nyanide @alyx @sysrq so Linux will become considered useful by the general public? I haven't used NT because I am just a general user so I can't confirm if it sucks myself but maybe NT sucks because Microsoft made it?
@branman65 @alyx @sysrq Head into cmd and type 'ver' then slam enter. You are using NT.

Win7 was such a game changer. Used it as beta, on a shitty computer that had no place running anything above XP. It was the most stable experience I had on that thing. The fucking BETA was more stable than the OS the computer was designed for.

@alyx @nyanide @sysrq Microsoft should have never went pass Win7. They should have maintained that version forever.
