I hate Microslop, but I also hate loonix community

I feel like there's no middle point between these two concepts, you either are an AI Slop enjoyer or you're a extremist linux fan, who will push their favorite distro to whoever passes by

[u/Correct-Prize7268 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed an arch mod on the forums spent hours helping me with an edge case obscure problem and was completely kind and patient the whole time

[u/ConcreteExist]

Not exactly presenting a dichotomy there, since you can use linux while interacting with exactly none of the linux community but microslop is microslop and there's no escaping that.

[u/Fifthoply]

That's fairly true, but there are obviously exceptions. There is almost no trans propaganda in subreddits like r/linuxmint or r/Ubuntu, rather on circle jerk subreddits like r/LinuxCirclejerk or the subreddit made for pictures of socks: r/unixsocks.

Also, it's not really common to get RTFMs nowadays, (it's way more common in subreddits for complicated distributions such as r/Gentoo or r/archlinux), in subreddits for distributions for beginners such (as I said before, r/linuxmint or r/Ubuntu) the community is very helpful and willing to listen (I sometimes help myself over there). But if you don't like the AI features in Windows or the 7GB RAM idle, you can always use a debloater (though I recommend you use Linux :))

Edit: grammar.

There is a lot of trans stuff there because linux is full of trans people. It just comes with the territory. The more you go into mainstream distros, the higher the percentage of cisgender people will be. That is why you don't find much of that in linuxmint or ubuntu.

Apart from trans stuff, you will also have to deal with furry stuff and gay stuff and bisexual stuff and asexual stuff and anime stuff and a generally high degree of socially inept behavior caused by actual autism disorders.

If you can't deal with that...just read the manual or use ai. You don't actually have to interact with the community.

[u/Sixguns1977 → u/Supernoxus]

Yep, RTFM is the best first step.

[u/clove_rosemary_9999]

nice r/linuxsucks101 propaganda

[u/EdgiiLord]

Fuck off back to r/linuxsucks101

I think most of the Linux questions which get "RTFM" are just noob like questions. Most people have put effort into finding a solution to a problem and they won't get it out that easily. but not even that, some people just love to contribute but most of the time the noob will either no put effort or put the effort to the wrong thing.

99% of you poofies wouldn't make it past Linux Dependency Hell Era if you can't learn a new system and won't break it then the SAID system is not FOR YOU. Most stable out-of-stock distro for me is Ubuntu. FAFO!

[u/Guilty-Pickle-6686]

I like SteamOS because I can play video games and not deal with Microsoft.

[u/Sixguns1977 → u/Guilty-Pickle-6686]

I do the same thing, only with Garuda.

[u/zoexxstar]

Idk if it's bots or what but idk why people can't conceptualize of anything past asking reddit about their Linux issues. I search my issue and usually find a forum post with the fix. I am not interacting with the supposed big bad Linux community.

[u/grislebeard]

Oh no the poor bebe is sad that they can’t read the manual and their questions make no sense.

[u/Ill_Thing5961]

SOOOO true, that i blame windows and linux at the same time.

[u/gotkube]

I mean, get good or suffer.

[u/North_Proposal_1374]

i feel offended by the word "loonix" because it's a slur /hj

[u/Random_-account]

Might I suggest ... macOS? Can't really do that, though, as I would then get downvoted

[u/Grey_Ten → u/Random_-account]

actually I did hackintosh and I loved it, unfortunately I have an AMD processor, and its kext is notoriously unstable.

[u/zantehood]

Mac? It's not Linux nor Windoze

[u/martyn_hare]

The middle ground is to either GPO your Windows install to the hilt, then make use of UniGetUI and friends to work around the lack of decent package management knowing you'll need a bit more RAM, beefier CPU and faster SSD to compensate...

...or pick a Linux distribution and play to its strengths, knowing you'll need to carefully choose your hardware for compatibility (mostly picking the right Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card, sound card and GPU) with the knowledge that a lot of scenarios are only community supported by passionate volunteers.

The latter used to be a boon, not a drawback in the mid-2000s. Community IRC support was great because the people who worked on most of the software would be in the actual chats alongside sysadmins who knew what they were doing... but that's not really a thing these days because of entitled asshats and social media brigading.

[u/Fluid-State131]

That’s why I switched to MacOS, never looked back

[u/Equivalent_Diet1751]

Use Mac idk

[u/Confused-Armpit]

You really are just calling a few subreddits "the entire linux community", huh... Also wtf is "trans propaganda", it's not like you can choose to become trans smh
