Quick glance AFat that place and wow. Talk about people completely and utterly missing the point
Yeah, I know I can be annoying when I tell people for the 100th time that they should install Linux, but I wouldn't have to say that if they didn't get their computer hacked / full of viruses / full with Microsoft bloat and spyware they want removed and come to me to fix that shit on each of those occasions.
Its all one person. Literally 98% of the posts are one butthurt dude, who then goes on to complain that linux users are annoying because they make it their whole personality.
It just gets sad when you remember the dude running it isn't doing this for satire. They generally think it sucks.
I thought it was satire at first and thought, how long before they start going after stereotypes? Then I saw it was just that one person and thought damn someone misconfigured their backups and lost their job.
Wait... Is that community run by Gerald Holmes?

Oh, the irony.
I think PC gamers in general are annoying regardless of what OS they use. I say this as a Linux PC gamer.
I agree...I Linux game in Arch btw.
Noob distro, all the true Linux gamers use LFS.
The thing that he doesn't understand is that he cannot ascertain my "entire personality" by simply seeing the facets of it I show in linux forums.
Furthermore, I would argue that creating and singularly sustaining a salty "fuck linux" community puts OP pretty far up the list of "linux is entire personality," even if "anti-" it's still likely more than most of us tbh. Like I say, all I know of them is from that comm so I'm sure there's other facets to their personality I'm not privy to, I'm just saying, who is really more obsessed, the guy posting in forums and sometimes recommending it as an alternative when people complain about windows, or the guy who runs a whole ass hate community dedicated to it? Ironic, really.
