@mavica_again most open source software does kind of feel like a cruel prank

@zens it's a bit where everybody else but you is in on the joke that "no it's really good actually you're just using it wrong"

@mavica_again @zens i would.never say your using it wrong to anyone. If you have issues with an OS for specific hardware if your seeking performance overall.

@SweetBlackHearts @mavica_again you literally just did

@zens @mavica_again

I said it can be annoying to setup if your not used to it.

I never said your using it wrong out right. Also I said doesn't matter what OS you use, use what works for you.

@SweetBlackHearts @zens i've been using linux for over a decade now, i've seen plenty of distros and preachers come and go. i think i'm very used to linux and how bad it is

@mavica_again @zens well you keep saying it's bad but never say why it's bad to you. I can also say Windows is badand that's it.

I also do not take stock in people saying they used X for a number of years since it can always be your doing it right for that long or wrong for that long.

@SweetBlackHearts @mavica_again you literally just said you would never do this literal thing you just did, word for word.

I don’t want to be mean but i am begging you to get some self awareness about what you are saying

@SweetBlackHearts @mavica_again
i know what it is like to be so invested in an idea from years of pain trying to make it work, that you feel an instinctive need to defend it every time you see someone criticising the idea.

but you can break out of this mindset by simply accepting that all operating systems are terrible. we’re all just coping with this awful unreliable extractive badly designed crap we’ve been handed and doing our best

@SweetBlackHearts @mavica_again you do not need to preach to strangers that linux can be good.

you can accept that it hurts you too. you admitted as much, a little. you don’t need to push that pain onto other people

@zens @mavica_again I'm not preaching it I'm just trying to get a realistic expectation of why everyone thinks it's bad because just saying it's bad as an operating system as a whole is not a good argument. If I was preaching it I would say you're completely wrong I'm just saying give me a better argument

@SweetBlackHearts @zens you ARE telling me to give you a better argument

so off the top of my head without having a linux device near me right now:

- i have never had linux make full usage of my graphics hardware
- i have never had linux play nice with all the HID i want to use
- less about the software but i have been constantly told by anyone using linux that it's my fault for wanting to use it that way, or having the hardware i have
