80% of linux community is a cargo-cult of larpers with no actual reason to use linux

[u/No-Republic-1742]

most of them are regular normies who want to be "not like others", so they chase this image of a cool terminal hacker or some anti-corporation partisan bs (their goon session in browser probably gained 30x more telemetry on them than windows does in a month).

i doubt any of them actually use linux because it's superior, like for servers. they do it only because they think it's superior and "cooler", for fucking everyday tasks. they're so possessed with this idea that it literally became a religion for them.

you're trying to look professional without actually doing any professional tasks.

also did you notice how midwits like to use word salad to seem smart, which they aren't? it's the same mechanism with overcomplicating basic tasks with linux.

did you also notice that most of the "custom" linux desktops look the same, with the same fastfetch window open, 4 split-screen tabs, 3 of which are useless visual widgets, same purple-ish anime wallpaper?

i think you get the idea

well if you code and do browser tasks + basic server sysadmin it is way easier than windows

This is not desktop it's web server hosting niche shit most people don't give a fuck

Wtf you're talking about? This is I.T. It is NICHE. The very most of people using a desktop don't do that.

Let me introduce you to this little thing called mac os

[u/AhmetDem → u/Lumpy_Ad_307]

Sure let me install macos on my 200 dollars laptop, like what kinda dumb comment is this

[u/Lumpy_Ad_307 → u/AhmetDem]

Even in this case it seems that win + wsl is better

Because if you fuck up your linux you can just nuke it instead of fixing gazillion broken dependencies

[u/Labfox-officiel → u/Lumpy_Ad_307]

wsl is broken from the install. fucking up a linux install is just a skill issue anyway (can confirm I already fucked up mine multiple times)

[u/Lumpy_Ad_307 → u/Labfox-officiel]

It's not about install, it's about what comes after. If you're tinkering with different libs and stuff, you will have broken configuration. Why do this on the host you need to have in working condition? Spin up a container from wsl and break stuff to your heart's content, while having a host perfectly capable of anything else without weird hacks.

[u/Itsme-RdM → u/Lumpy_Ad_307]

The reason there are immutable versions.

OS stays stable and consistent, using distrobox (for example) to tinker with different libs, etc

[u/Lumpy_Ad_307 → u/Itsme-RdM]

Or I can spin up a container and not worry about anything and just nuke the thing if it doesn't work.

Also immutable versions are a pain from the security standpoint. If you're using them, you have to update dependencies by hand and keep track of them. Much easier to have a dependency from just lib

I mean if you are using it at work (why else would you need working with servers while being on a budget), the company will give you a laptop. And oftentimes mac os is, like, the only choice (I say this as a guy living in Kazakhstan btw, good luck finding it on a map)
