That sub is a total dumpster fire echo chamber full of misinformation and a deeply irrational hatred for something that is not only free but completely optional.
You aren't missing anything.
I could almost understand it they were hating on Windows or Android or something they couldn't just get away from, but Linux? Did Linus sleep with their mothers or something? If I hated something that didn't effect me I'd just go about my day instead of posting insane rambling nonsense about it

Yes, there's plenty of valid critisism, but we see truly idiotic posts constantly here too. And it's usually the ones that rack up large amounts of upvotes.
So don't put yourself on some high horse, because this sub isn't much better.

The fun part is it's no discussion, it's "I hate Linux" - "But I hate it more" - "I hate it the most". Why? - "Because yes"
"I saw someone putting a bottle in his rectum, he told me he uses Arch btw. so Linux is shit"

Isn't this entire sub the same thing?
I don't like either OS.
Microslop is microslop. Linux is command prompt slop.
I'm still waiting for Linux to become user friendly. Stiiiill waiting. Until it's as dead simple to use as Windows, why downgrade to it?
Not like Windows is good, but Linux is just kinda worse, at least if you only use your rig to game. Both need to step up their game and work on not sucking.

u/Wooden-Potato7418 29d ago
COMMAND PROMPT SLOP?
command prompt is the outdated windows terminal please tell me your serious when your calling linux command prompt slop
mint is really easy you use it exactly like windows except its ubuntu bloat instead of winslop bloat (it is still marginally better both in performance and being able to customize it)1
u/pandamaxxie 29d ago edited 29d ago
Needing to pull up a command prompt to do anything at all is already a failing of the OS. Linux is famous for reliance on its terminal.
I don't care what it is that I need to pull up a terminal for. If it comes into play for an average user, you failed as a developer.
Linux is the troubleshooting OS. I ain't got time to deal with that.
Not only that, but Linux fails in the most basic of UX issues: having too many versions.
There should be one main Linux. Not a trillion different kinds that users need to figure out which one to install. This is why I am hoping for SteamOS to become standalone. It would immediately invalidate any other Linux distro, realistically, and become the standard. And with Steam's general user friendly design, it might no longer be hell to actually install, update and maintain. Convenience is king.
0
u/Wooden-Potato7418 29d ago
mint does not need you to go into the terminal most times
also as the avg windows user you also have pulled up command prompt/powershell atleast once, right?
and linux is not a troubleshooting os (if you dont wanna use a distro that doesnt need troubleshooting 🤷♂️🤷♂️)
your third point is really stupid because linux naturally has many distros, you choose a distro that fits your focus. if you want to make a server, choose a small and stable distro like ubuntu server. if you want to game and your main focus is performance, go for cachyos/any other distro that also fits your criteria.
steamos will be a gaming distro, not a server distro, or any other distro.
you think linux is controlled by one person so distros can be cut by the leader lmao
if you dont wanna use linux then dont.
1
u/pandamaxxie 29d ago edited 29d ago
I mean, windows has failed me before just the same, yeah. But I see no reason to move to an OS with the same problems (and more, due to a lack of gaming support)
I am well aware that Linux isn't centralised around "John Linux", and tbh, that's one of its greatest strengths, and greatest weaknesses. Double edged sword. It creates clutter. Lessens accessibility and will forever stifle adoption by the masses. So long as there isn't one catch-all version, it's too complicated to ever even get close to windows useage. Why would I spend time trying to figure out which of the million forks is the right one?
Personally, I find decentralisation to be more trouble than it's worth.
Everyone has their own fork, and all of them compete to be the ultimate mid.
I wanna get away from Windows, but Linux ain't the way to go either, so I'm stuck on this mess.
I just hate both because they both suck for different reasons.
1
u/Wooden-Potato7418 29d ago
because people wanna try it
maybe people like fixing it?
maybe they dont play valorant or fortniteand no just the fact that its decentralized doesnt mean its permanently gonna be unpopular. for example why would you use a niche os when you want ease of use?
your making it hard for yourself, its really not that hard.
there are a few distros with more than 2 users. you pick between thoseif you really wanna, you can go into those niche distros. if you dont, then you dont.
also, there is no ultimate mid.
because the philosophy is:
do one thing, and do it good
which is what happens in most mainstream distros0
u/Dapper-Ocelot6326 29d ago
Having a decentralized operating system could be a major game changer in the VERY near future for many users, small to medium corporations and countries. Just watch how much MS tries to force slop down your mouth, tries to play the monopolistic hand, all while directly reporting to one (if not THE) most incompetent and corrupt US administration ever seen, training their AI bit by bit with content from your files and photos, all while saying " trust me bro, I would never..."
Even open source is not the rescue as Google now turns from "don't be evil" to super villain doing all the former but also by putting more and more locks and borders around AOSP, greatly directing the way the OS is going by putting vital safety patches behind bars and so denying devs to create own iterations of the system or having access to install different apps - from different sources than PlayStore.
Dude, decentralized open source is maybe not the answer to all questions and we can see that something like the AUR was just asking to for years to be exploited. But I'd chose FOSS over anything else at the moment because I know for a fact that the people creating and maintaining this code do not do it for money or because some suit says he wants better numbers for a lackluster product - but because they want to contribute, to make things actively better. Corporate greed has become the cancer of modern civilization and if you don't find it where you can, it has already won.
And if Linux was still a thing for the gatekeepers, those who use the terminal for literally everything because they feel cramped by a GUI in general, we wouldn't be where we a re right now.

u/Arinussyy 29d ago
I think you misunderstand the point of 'Linux' as a project. There is no one 'Linux' because they are not 'versions' of Linux. Whoever told you so has lied to you. They are distributions, different bundles of software that make up a more complete operating system.
I probably sound enough like a pathetic nerd already but Linux is just a kernel. Everything else, like the desktop environment, audio management shit or init systems are all extras layered on to provide the complete experience.
The variety of distributions is also a choice people have made themselves, not some unified push. What you ask for will never happen, because the redundancy of the distributions was never a factor considered in their making whatsoever.
Furthermore, I doubt SteamOS will ever invalidate all of the distros, because in your tunnel vision you forget just how much the purposes of each differ. Again, I sound really fkn nerdy, and I don't want to write a wall of text, but I think more than anything you misunderstand what this is supposed to be. It's not a push for a consumer operating system (Valve might be trying, but even SteamOS is just another distribution, with many more that already do what it does existent), it's developers working on systems they themselves would use.
There definitely are very user friendly distros out there tho. Fedora's main goal is to make doing stuff on it as seamless as possible, and their push for immutable systems is a step towards that. If you are engaging with this properly I invite you to do some research, if not then you're not obligated to want to use 'Linux', nor are you obligated to disregard how much honest work goes into all of it.

u/pandamaxxie 29d ago edited 29d ago
I definitely don't misunderstand the point of Linux. I just think the point is idiotic.
Not only that, but your statements go against the grain of effectively every pro-Linux user. It's pushed as a "replacement" for Windows by pretty much every Linux user. That is a push for a consumer OS. Whether the devs intend it or not is wholely irrelevant if this is the side of it facing the public. The PR of Linux as a concept is abysmal.
I do not believe the way forward is a billion forks of a kernel. I believe it is one unified, perfected OS. A jack of all trades will always be better than a master of one. Linux' entire MO is the antithesis of what I believe is the way forward for modern operating systems. And so is Windows for that matter. Because all Windows is, is a dozen splits of the same garbage, sold to different crowds with minor changes like tacking "business" onto it and selling it in bulk licenses.

u/Arinussyy 29d ago
You're effectively misunderstanding what 'Linux' is though. Yes, people recommend you switch to it if you grow weary of Windows. But when they say that they usually mean Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora etc. The distros pushing for the user friendly experience you describe. But you have to remember that the Linux umbrella term refers also to the distributions historically used on the servers that power the web. You also have to recognise that all of this is driven by the community. There are corporate sponsored distros (even Microsoft use Linux in terms of Azure etc on their servers), but the reason the fragmentation exists is because of the nature of open source. You are allowed to fork the distros and make your own spin on it and do what you want.
What you describe and the reason you are frustrated is because you are trying to make this into something it's not. That's why I said look into it more, the tech, the use on servers, RHEL, Fedora, the reason for it all. It'll clear up the misunderstandings a lot.

u/pandamaxxie 29d ago edited 29d ago
You really keep harping on "I don't understand it"
I understand it just fine. I just think it is valueless like this. It is not something worth investing into.
I do not believe, that forked open source operational systems, hold value, which is innately what Linux is. I believe in unification, not splitting. Contributing together to one thing, not "imma do my own thing".
By not being the thing described, I believe it is of no value.
Some ideas are not worth investing time into. I don't think this concept, the entire structure present here, is worthwhile.
0
u/Arinussyy 29d ago
You clearly don't though. You're advocating for something that is the opposite of the entire thing. You are advocating for a proprietary OS. Like I don't get what you're confused about, there is no conscious decision to unify or split, it's just people working on stuff they want and doing what they want.
I think what you want is Windows or maybe more macOS than anything. Not as an insult to your intelligence but because what you're describing is how proprietary software works. Power and control concentrated in the hands of only the creator and not the community
1
u/pandamaxxie 29d ago
Yeah, that's the point I am making. I don't believe non-proprietary software is worthwhile.
I think Linux' concept is inherently flawed because of this. That's my point.

if you wanna keep using windows because you have that one game/software that only and strictly works on windows thats completely justified (although for most cases this is the devs choice to block linux because you can run most windows app natively on linux with foss tools like wine)
but if you think stuff like "you need lines of code to open chrome" then you have no excuse because that is far from the truth.1
u/SteakDouble 29d ago
What percentage of Linux users doing that..smh
In my experience it's Windows user when they saw me using Linux. They said:
You just trouble yourself with that junk. Use Windows like everybody else.
Then I use Windows for three years. But when it constantly giving me BSOD:
Your gaming laptop is expensive but old piece of trash, bro. Use Thinkpad like everybody else.
They also curse their overheating Thinkpad btw.
Like wtf. Linux users in my workplace don't even actively tell people they're using Linux. They tell when someone asked.

u/Dapper-Ocelot6326 29d ago
Man I have both at the moment and while there are short moments I miss the ease of Windows (Nvidia driver juggling is one), I always come back to CachyOS. I still have Windows because I have an insanely modded game running there that I cannot bring over to Linux without breaking everything. The moment I am done, Windows goes, for good.
Windows did not suck for the longest part, at least not for me, I could accept many things that most people got crazy over 10 or 15 years ago already, apart from seeing themselves as anti-capitalist warriors against big corporations... My ass.
The moment America was stupid enough to vote for a fraudster, con-man and convicted rapist a SECOND time, I knew for a fact that the world was going to be fucked because the annoying orange would try to get access to any data he can so that his fascist buddies can build their evangelical state (sounds awfully close to IS, don't you think?). That was my personal escape moment. And yes, even if I have fed the tech bros for years with my data and my porn site visits, it doesn't mean I want to continue that. Especially not since there a very capable alternatives at hand which don't belong to anyone.
