Really tired of “Linux user sucks” joke. We all know some obnoxious people exist and are annoying but they are small minority confined to their own space.
On the other side, everyday I see Linux people working on their free time or for little to no pay on accessibility issues, bettering software for everyone (including windows users). I also see community members doing their best to answer, document and work with newcomer to fix their issues. I see developers burning out because they received another report insulting their work because a feature doesn’t work exactly like windows, etc…
Maybe I’m reading too much into this, sorry if that’s the case.
“I want my partner to stop beating me daily, but I don’t want to leave them”
They keep beating you as long as it’s profitable for them - and you keep it profitable
First of all, has your own experience with Windows been so traumatic that you actually feel it’s proper to compare it to spousal abuse of all goddamn things?
Secondly, using emotionally manipulative false equivalences like that do nothing to further the argument, it just shuts it down by spreading feelings of guilt in the other partly.
Thirdly, people are allowed to ask for more privacy without evangelists like you crawling out of the woodwork to guilt-trip them into making a change they may not be ready for.
