I mean, a lot of people encourage others to use linux online because we like linux and think it is good but... Many of us do not really care if it goes mainstream or not, it really isn't important. There are enough people in the ecosystem to keep it alive as it is.

For me, I activelly do not want Linux to be big, we will lose many of the advantages, especially in the security and privacy area, if Linux gains more traction.

No "linuxbro" is willing to accept it will never be for the average user? Many of us more than accept and don't want Linux to be that ;)

Ok then maybe the community could stop all the snarky 'this isn't a linux problem' replies in threads about microsuck's stupidity?

Didn't think so...

The concept of some people doesn't mean all people is difficult for you.

If you stop trying to force all Linux users to have the same opinion just because we use the same OS that'd make a lot of sense wouldn't it?

Look, I'm not responsible for the public's perception of linux users, you guys brought that all on yourself by refusing to police your community and call out bad behavior.

Sure it's 'some' linux users, but they are so loud, entitled, egotistic and persistent that even if they are a tiny minority, they dominate forum spaces.

I have never once in my entire three+ decades on the internet seen an elitist linux forum diatribe EVER called out or rescinded. Not fucking once.

That's not what I meant at all

Some windowsbros are weirdly aggressive.
