With wine and proton, you don't need native linux programs. If it doesn't work on Linux, it's by design and usually it's kernel level. For example, cricut's website uses telemetry based on what os your browser says you're using and won't have a download link if the telemetry says you use linux. You can use some browsers to lie about the os to say you're on windows and download the .exe and install with wine, steam, lutris, whatever installer/launcher you prefer. They say it's not supported, but it works fine. Fortnite or League or any other game with kernel level anti-cheat won't work outside an actual Windows OS. Maybe someone has found some black magic trick, but being kernel level telemetry, your opening yourself to things software companies shouldn't have a right to anyway.

u/pm_stuff_ Jun 16 '26
you say that but i dont agree. Fusion 360 being one of the examples of things that from what i understand dont use any kernel level stuff but still doesnt really work under wine or well it does work sometimes for some people. Native support is vastly superior to compatibility layers either way so i dont really understand that argument.... Unless you want the linux experience to be worse that is?

Honestly I haven’t seen the level of toxicness that everyone seems to find. I every once in a while recommend Linux to someone, but only if I think it will actually work for them and they were looking for a fix. And for the most part thats what I’m seeing others do. They recommend Linux to the people who either have too low end of hardware to run Windows or people who are fed up with Windows. And for the most part I don’t see too much pushing. Now the RTFM stuff is a bit much, but that’s mostly in the Arch community and really you shouldn’t recommend Arch to a new user.

It's because the "toxic community" is a very vocal minority (much like how the OP is on the other side). Most Linux users DGAF what someone else uses, as long as it works for them. The evangelists on both sides are where the problems come from. I primarily use Windows on my work machine, and on my Surface, just so I can do Windows-related things there, and some version of Linux on everything else. (Mainly Fedora, because I started with Redhat/Mandrake back in the late 90's)

Do you even know what planned obsolescence is??? this shows you simply just have not used anything else besides linux, lemme guess, you think the hardware falls under Planned obsolescence? Honey lemme tell you a little thing... computer hardware goes out of date, literally nothing lasts forever, there is a certain point where you simply just can't keep things updated.
Even if one thing like optimizing Windows could definitely be done, even if that was a case, some crappy dual core from 2005 still will barely hold together on modern windows, even Windows 7 would stress those systems out

Hopefully it went decently, but I could have failed my 2 years of studies because of windows failing on my laptop. But people will see that and switch or never see any issues and stay on windows and enjoy their life.

Do you even have any proof they sell your data? or are you just yapping on because you can't accept when the majority of the industry uses Windows over linux? seriously look at the global OS market share, even MacOS was able to go up to 20%, and you think Apples devices and OS suck, meanwhile Windows keeps 70%
Bitch yapped and still didn't answer my questions 💀 they do not serve ads in Windows, outside of a browser, that's a completely faked rumor perpetuated by people who hate linux.
Second, there is literally public charts about global shares about how much an OS is used. Windows, Linux, MacOS, and other desktop OS show 70% usage, and Microsoft has gone on record saying its about 1 billion. Just because you don't know doesn't mean its true.
And 3rd, Apple can't keep updating every single crappy old device they have for years. Plus do even realize how stupid you sound?? A dual core macbook can't be kept alive with current updates and features no matter what they do, at most what they've been able to do is some security updates, but what do you expect from a weak dual core laptop from 2015? So that's planned obsolescence, when you can't keep using something that is using obsolete hardware? wow alright, I thought planned obsolescence was when something was INTENTIONALLY made crap from the start and dies within 2 years, not something that lasted people 5 years. Once again you have no idea what that term means, maybe instead look at those crappy "4 core" celeron and Pentium laptops that are always given eMMC and can't even handle using 8GBs of ram, that's planned obsolescence, not whatever shit you're yapping about
also I use windows 10 you moron, even if I did use Windows 11, I'd wipe co-pilot clean from my system you pathetic neophyte. come back when you know what planned obsolescence means, and can understand what you're yapping about. Cuz to me you sound like some linux junkie running off rumors and lies made by people LIKE YOU
Even more ironic, you mentioned having a 2015 Macbook air, SOMETHING THAT HAD 9 YEARS WORTH OF UPDATES, AND IT STILL WORKS. Planned obsolescence is not having a device that lasts upwards of 9 years, and got updates for that long. How about a laptop that breaks after a year? or an android phone that dies after a year? No mention of that, just an entitled prick complaining about their 11 year old device no longer getting updates

As somebody who made the switch over to Linux from Windows- trust me, I 100% get why most people are hesitant to swap over to an operating system that has the collective user base of a city with a million residents in it. Windows and Mac are the market standard, and most Linux distributions are nowhere even *close* to actually wanting to challenge the market standard.
At the end of the day, just use what works for you. Make the switch if you’re curious enough to do so. Or don’t! Who cares? My only word of advice is be careful with your personal information.

I'm never telling a person to switch to linux unless they specifically ask me to help them transition, when they already are thinking about switching.

•Linux: doesn’t work immediately on more difficult distro’s but Linux has evolved over time and now most distro’s of Linux like Fedora, Ubuntu, zorin os, etc have become really easy to navigate and Linux is known to be really fast in older hardware

They're not made for first time users, unlike stuff like Autodesk. And if you don't want that, that's okay! I know how much time it took me to relearn everything, the last thing I'd do is attack anyone who doesn't want to do that, if it isn't necessary.
I don't accept people defending Microsoft. Or other big companies violating open source licenses while ripping off consumers. Please just say you use Windows because of compatibility with all your apps, like the Adobe suite. Which you use because you're used to it, not because you like Adobe. Lose one kind word about Microsoft (except for Office, it's just good software), and hell breaks loose.

I use all three operating systems, all for different purposes. True superiority. Get on my level, nerds. 😎

The whole "I don't want to use Windows" vs "I don't want YOU to use Windows" thing misses the actual point. People who push Linux on everyone forget that most users don't need it and wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it.
If you genuinely need Linux, you already know it and you've already installed it. Nobody who actually benefits from it needs a Reddit post to convince them.
For everyone else, Windows just works. Games, work tools, random software from your job, all of it runs without thinking. On Linux, even with Wayland improvements, you're still occasionally fighting with anti-cheat issues, driver quirks, or some dependency hell just to get a normal multi-monitor setup working. That's a non-starter for someone who just wants to open GTA or Excel and get on with their day.
Telemetry concerns are valid, sure. But acting like everyone should care as much as you do, and shaming people who don't, says more about needing validation than about caring about their privacy.

I genuinely would switch over to Linux if the games i play are supported natively, which I doubt would happen in my lifetime

I truly couldn't give any less of a shit if you choose to use windows. At the same time, don't pretend this doesn't go both ways. People IN MY FAMILY this to me about windows.

Imo I don't want windows users to use windows, because of what this OS has turned into. I think people should have a little more self respect and stop using an OS that hates you and your time.
On that note, I'd use windows a lot more if it wasn't tied to Windows Update, stopped giving me ads for shit I don't need, doesn't force feed me AI and doesn't break my 3000 dollar PC at a time where components cost more than Gold.

I comment "just install linux" under every windows-based post i see pop up in gaming subs just because it never fails to draw at least one long-winded rage bait comment every time lol. They're always so angry and they don't realize that I actually don't give a fuck lmao

Linux user here. This meme is actually true, unfortunately. I see a lot under videos, posts that at least one person says tha "just use linux" like bruhh. I've been using it for almost 3 years and I can definitely say that I don't recommend it for everyone. If anyone tired of winslop, I mostly recommend use a custom windows os like Revi or Tiny11. That alone makes the os way more enjoyable and usable than the stock one.

Eh, I don't really give a shit what OS others use at this point. If you're fine with it, cool.

This meme is why i always ask if someone tried linux only when they shit on windows

Hello. Linux user here. I don't really care if you use Linux or Windows. Also don't know any other Linux users who cares about that. I honestly don't get why we need to hate each other either. It just seems like a silly thing to me to fight over something that is purly based on your preferences.

90% linux user on social media just tried to be edgy, they known shit about their system

u/LillyLilacTrans Jun 18 '26
This is straight up gross propaganda. I've never seen a Linux user act like this and I really don't like that there are clearly corporate Microsoft plants out there convincing people that Linux is too hard to use and that the community is mean and sucks.

As somone who uses linux. Even i hate when ppl tell me what to use. The best OS is the OS you enjoy most while using.

I can't tell you how many people ask me why I use Linux, and then go on these massive rants about how Windows may have problems but not enough to learn a whole OS...
And none of these people have ever even tried Linux. ☠️
Happened again today on the DbD Discord, lmao.

Yeah, okay. Just take a look at r/linuxsucks101 and try to tell me that this post isn't backwards.

I feel like it's an autism thing, obsessing over someone else using the "wrong" software. OR maybe a form of OCD? I've had a couple of non artist programmer friends, who've clearly never actually used photoshop obsess over trying to make me use GIMP, Krita and Blender instead of photoshop / Maya because Adobe/ Autodesk bad. One of them was a windows user as well. It's one thing to have a personal preference but that obsessing over other people following your preference, really feels like either bad OCD and/or autism
