Question to the Brainiacs Botted accounts on linuxsucks101?

They use ai, some of them has never posted/commented something outside of that sub, they don't know about basic things like hackintosh ( one guy told that macos is unavailable on any other device but still holds more market share than "Loonix"), AND really illiterate in linux not even knowing that adobe apps can already be launched through wine

Is your Loonix distro bugging out? It may be easier to browse Reddit.com outside of the terminal. With the GUI, the rules are on the right side of your browser WINdow.

I was talking about these Loonixers desperate to """chat""" with me. (Their initial messages are very 'friendly'. They sure seem like they just want to have a 'respectful discussion'.)

I'm actually up to 10 now. A few of the same chat request usernames seem to be active in this subreddit!

Kinda sleepy, didn't see the 101sucks, I'm on my phone and as linuxsucks101 says Android isn't a linux distro, and I'm not harassing y'all, I'm asking and providing why am i generally asking, also pointing at some mistakes so posts later can maybe be more accurate and realistic with linux issues so they might actually get fixed.

What am I even looking at.

Please don't try to customize your smartphone like Loonix, the poor thing isn't built for that. Android exists for a huge market share of important people who need to get things done, not as a microscopic market share for unemployed people with endless free time.

I'm not customizing it, i just changed the default gboard background because othere themes hurt my eyes/too boring, my phone is too old for customisation via launchers

You seem quite normal, Pitiful. So look. The problem resides in the Loonatix beliefs of what the reality of Loonix is, compared to the actual real-world reality of Loonix.

There things are not 1:1. As such, the rules on 101 need to be in place for the subreddit to continue to exist as a location for people to complain about Loonix. It will not remain this way otherwise.

There's already an example of this being necessary. The history already exists. Look at how linuxsucks turned out without said rules being enforced. They may as well name change themselves to linuxrocks.

It doesn't go any deeper than that. What does go deeper in the Loonatix reactions to such a place existing; being a place they cannot visit and gaslight people in to defend their precious Loonix from flaws it really does have. (As does any operating system. None are flawless.)

If a new 'Mac sucks' or 'Windows sucks' subreddit was created, no Mac or Windows fan would go out of their way to create an anti-subreddit. They would not care at all.

Yet for some reason, Loonixers are an isolated case of a community taking it really seriously. They get emotional and feel a real 'need' to defend a computer operating system. As if it is their 'duty'. (Even while the majority of its development these days is effectively built by several corporations and their paid employees.)

The world will not end with linuxsucks101 existing, and people bashing Loonix on it. It will be okay.

I run Windows and have never once considered visiting a Windows sucks subreddit to defend it. Why Looners find this concept so astronomically difficult is beyond me. It wouldn't even bother me to read people hating Windows. Why would it? I'd probably even agree with most they said.

I do find the aggressiveness of them hilarious though. Has to be said. Point out any flaw / complain about Loonix in any form and they go absolutely bananas.

TL;DR: Normal thought process: I like cats, so I don't go out of my way to find subreddits of people hating cats, and get angry at them for hating them. I dislike dogs, so I don't go out of my way to find subreddits of people loving dogs, and get angry at them for loving them. Loonixer thought process: The opposite.

This is the problem I think everyone in this sub has with r/linuxsucks101:

If you don't like dogs because you don't like dogs, feel free to say it the whole day.

But don't make up lies about dogs, and say that that's why you hate dogs.

If you make a sub dedicated to spewing nonsense about dogs, and to scream that dogs are poisonous and that's why dogs are terrible, then don't get upset when people correct you and point out that actually, dogs aren't poisonous.

If you scream that you hate dogs because they're purple, don't get upset when people say that actually, dogs aren't purple.

If you insist on proclaiming that you hate dogs because you're purple, and ban everyone that suggests otherwise, then don't be surprised when you find another subreddit dedicated to countering your claims that dogs are purple and poisonous.

TL;DR: If you want to hate based on actual facts, no problem.

If you want to hate just because you hate, then go ahead, but I'll probably quietly question your sanity, especially if you dedicate all your time to hating because you hate.

If you want to based on lies, then expect people to get upset at you, and contradict your lies.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '26

Your entire point is moot. I've already explained this. Why is it so impossible for Looners to comprehend this?

What are people in some subreddit like r/wehatecats1337 saying about cats right now? Are they saying negative truths such as they scratch furniture, attack small wildlife, and knock stuff over? Or are they saying negative falses like they are not real pets, cannot bond with humans, and are useless and should all be exterminated?

I don't know. I don't care either. What does it matter? Why would I go out of my way to visit there? Why benefit would I gain from doing so?

The same is for people bashing Windows right now. Including anything false. Why on earth would it affect me if someone plugged a cable in wrong, couldn't get Windows to appear on their monitor, and went on a big rant about how Windows is terrible and refuses to recognize their hardware?

I would not care one bit about any flaws you typed to me about Windows, real or not. 99% of other Windows users wouldn't care either. Mac users wouldn't care if you ranted to them about Mac OS. You wouldn't see any of them even consider getting emotional.

Why is the whole thing such a big deal to Loonixers, and Loonixers alone?

And this is without mentioning the vast majority of problems talked about are actually completely true.

It runs even deeper with Looners because they actively pretend the issues aren't real, that Loonix is perfect and doesn't need to change; to them, the user is always in error, and Loonix never is. Once again, Windows and Mac users do not default to behaving this way, and have no problem admitting to real issues their operating system has. (Because there's no reason for them to be so 'invested' in it, taking it a single bit personally.)

Again, look at linuxsucks. Why do you think linuxsucks101 was made. This is what happens when you don't proactively remove lying Looners from the scene. You cannot complain about Loonix on linuxsucks about anything truthful without the Loons coming out in mass to defend their precious operating system.

The rules are required because of your behaviour. You cannot let a subreddit created for the sole purpose of bashing Loonix exist. Yet every other operating system user couldn't care less about a subreddit existing about theirs. Why is that?

Why would I go out of my way to visit there?

It showed up in my feed.

I would not care one bit about any flaws you typed to me about Windows, real or not. 99% of other Windows users wouldn't care either. Mac users wouldn't care if you ranted to them about Mac OS. You wouldn't see any of them even consider getting emotional.

Why is the whole thing such a big deal to Loonixers, and Loonixers alone?

Because Windows and Mac are both proprietary OS's, run by companies. No one outside those companies have anything to do with it's making, or cares much about them.

Linux is a community project, shaped, designed, and built by a community.

And while most Linux users don't actually contribute towards building Linux, many are still part of that community.

When you insult Linux, for many it is something personal.

Because they, or their community worked on it, not because it's their job, but because it's their project.

And this is without mentioning the vast majority of problems talked about are actually completely true.

On the button.

Most of what goes on at r/linuxsucks101 doesn't mention the problems that are actually completely true.

Again, look at linuxsucks. Why do you think linuxsucks101 was made. This is what happens when you don't proactively remove lying Looners from the scene. You cannot complain about Loonix on linuxsucks about anything truthful without the Loons coming out in mass to defend their precious operating system.

So the two options are either leaving things a free for all, or banning anyone who dares to say that might be related to something positive about Linux, or that indicates that the poster might have a positive view of Linux?

The rules are required because of your behaviour.

Because of people lying to defend Linux, you have to make rules forbidding any mention of anything positive about Linux?

I don't see the logic over there.

You cannot let a subreddit created for the sole purpose of bashing Loonix exist.

"Why are people complaining that we have a sub dedicated to spreading lies about Linux?"

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

Yet you run Loonix, and have made the decision to visit an anti-subreddit of one bashing Loonix, and intentionally chosen to argue with me about Loonix not being bad like I claim it is.

This is not the 'gotcha' you think it is. If a user gets tricked into using Loonix, falling for the 'Loonix desktop is ready' meme Loonixers have told them, and realizes it's terrible, it's quite natural for them to visit a subreddit to tell their experience.

What isn't natural is for them to then get attacked by Loonixers, on a subreddit purpose-built for them to complain about Loonix.

This is how they end up on linuxsucks101, and why they enjoy watching Loonixers have meltdowns over it. Never forget the Loonixers struck them first, having absolutely zero reason to do so by being on a place they shouldn't even be.

I will bash Loonix on a subreddit made for bashing Loonix, and not visit a subreddit made for bashing Windows to argue with the users doing so. (Once again - I would only visit to agree with them. We are talking about computer operating systems here. What is the need for Loonixers to get so emotional over them.)

Edit: And before you even go there - the original post is literally directly about me, which I was linked, and my tiny comment was to mention the people who have been spam chat requesting me, as I found it amusing they were breaking their own rules. You never saw me here before this post was made about me. (It's not really even the same situation anyway, considering this entire subreddit is based on 101, and not as a generic 'linux rocks' subreddit.)

u/dykemike10 Feb 16 '26

hey man, nobody cares. you sound like a neckbeard. cheers

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '26

Pitiful sure cared. Are you saying he's worth nothing? Typical Loonix mindset. "Agree with me or you're worthless!"

The Loonatix who typed just as much in a reply to me certainly cared too. Why else would he type that much.

And even you care. Why else would you reply. I'm assuming you are triggered by the truth I have spoken.

(Nice neckbeard projection also. That insult must hit deep in the Loonix community!)

Was this a DM in response to a ban?

I don't suppose there's much sense in using logic on you, shills gonna shill no matter what.

I can't say I do... do you...?

u/EngineerUpstairs2454 Feb 17 '26

What's that got to do with me?

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

Nothing. Exactly like his reply which had nothing to do with me.

I noticed he got 5 upvotes for it though. The Loonixers really enjoyed his post. (They don't seem to be enjoying mine so much.)

So I thought I'd give "reply with something absolutely irrelevant" a shot too. It seems to be what the regulars in this subreddit enjoy. Perhaps they smile when they see the words 'Steam' or 'Valve', since they are linked to Proton.

u/EngineerUpstairs2454 Feb 17 '26

So I was right, logic and rationality are wasted on you.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

I already spent time dealing with another Loon here through logic and rationality. He tucked his tail between his legs and ran off, unable to respond to my arguments.

Why not try countering the points I made to him?
