Actually, you’re right. Scratch Reddit. Every single Linux meme community I’ve seen on the internet so far eventually boils down to repetitive “Windows bad” memes.
It’s one of the reasons why people like me are put off using linux, especially when you have to ask those same smug linux users for advice when your first install hits a snag or you have an issue installing drivers.
It’s very human behaviour, it’s nice to feel special because you’re part of an in-group which you deem superior, but yeah.
That might have been me 20 years ago, but these days I don’t give a fuck what you use. If Linux is your thing and you have the passion, you’ll gravitate towards it yourself just like I did. I don’t need to push anyone into the cult. We aren’t all like that.
The cultish people are most likely still in the honeymoon phase. The veterans know how annoying and sometimes rough the OS is, and acknowledge it, but stick with it anyway.

I was joking, but you are of course right.

I mean, putting ads in your operating system is pretty bad. We at least agree on that right?

And yet… this meme popped up in my feed despite not being subscribed to linuxmemes. So there are still plenty of snobs.
It’s normal human behaviour. From vegans, iphone users, xbox gamers, ford owners, owners of automatic watches being snobs about quartz watches, …
Still annoying and unwelcoming for outsiders though.
Then don’t comment on them ffs
