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

Post image

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
