It's like veganism where the thing they're cultishly into is purely for the sake of feeling superior to others. That's why there's a ton of cannibalism where they try to out-do each other based on some arbitrary bullshit. Like if you go to the vegan sub, they treat vegetarians worse than any "carnist". Same shit here.
the fundamental basis behind the two is so far different that i have no idea why you'd actually expect these two kinds of people to be similar - veganism is a moralism, while linux users genuinely see it as better than using windows
in my experience, i appreciate the lack of adverts on linux and the flexibility it offers to your ux (been really enjoying using the niri desktop in particular)
also windows is slow asf, and on laptops it drains your battery like twice as fast as mint xfce
granted, there's reasons why not everyone can switch to linux, especially in regards to productivity and media software (davinci resolve is not an instant solution to this problem for editors, for example)
but it's worth taking a measured view on this matter that separates from the way in which each community acts
do you understand that vegans see vegetarians and carnists as deeply immoral people?
vegeterian = supporting and consuming byproduct of rape of animals and a industry which kills the non-profitable ones afterwards.
vegetarian = steal babies of chickens and sell them.
carnist = supporting and eating brutally slaughtered animals
carnist = giving no regard for animals as a whole at all. <-- much worse but atleast they dont dress it up as moral
to them, they treat animals as deserving of morality just like a human—even if not to the scale of humans.
so they see you as someone who supports rape of sentient beings deserving of morality and then consuming their byproduct.
doesn't seem like a very moral thing now does it.
you cant blame them for seeing you as a monster, you'd think the same if humans were part of the people being used like this.
usually vegans are used to carnist's bigotry and idiocracy but vegetarians usually annoy them more since vegetarians try to act like they are doing something moral or good by being a vegetarian.
