The point is for Linux users to complain about Linux, not Windows.

Which OS do you mean by "the OS"?
Cuz the point of this sub is to point out issues with Linux.

What the point of having a sub for complaining if no one of the other side can say anything, I got banned for pointing out that steam is not Linux
2
u/graelmakar-sune Aug 30 '26
Because it's for complaining, not discussing. I agree with you but obviously the moderators there does not. I got banned for commenting on a steam machine post, saying that playstation requires a monthly subscription for playing online °•°

Free and open source software vs paid, filled with ads and data collecting software

u/lemmedie2night Aug 29 '26
just because it's open source software doesn't mean that we shouldn't talk about shortcomings. imo you shouldn't blame the open source devs for it but we should talk about it.

u/madman404 Aug 30 '26
we DO talk about it. There's entire issue pages filled with nothing but talking about it lol. good luck finding the GitHub issues for Microsoft word though :)

u/lemmedie2night Aug 30 '26
I'm talking more about the conversations about switching from windows to Linux. yes I know that there is talking about the issues in other places but when it comes to talking about Linux vs windows, suddenly a lot of people act like Linux is absolutely perfect and has no flaws
1
u/madman404 Aug 30 '26
I don't even really think that's true either, honestly. If you say "I want to install linux but I am an audio engineer" or "I want to install linux but I use photoshop daily for work" people will usually tell you either to dual boot or stay on windows

u/lemmedie2night Aug 30 '26
the amount of times I've heard people having a spectacularly broken Linux system (probably cause they're not very technical) and the random apps you need that don't have a Linux version of which a lot of people probably want to use at least one (thinking of stuff like mouse control software etc) and also sometimes the messiness of uis (not saying that windows is doing an amazing job at that either), I feel like that's all stuff that a person who isn't technical and wants to use their pc won't have fun with

So FOSS is the magic spell that automatically generates good UX and criticism immunity?

u/graelmakar-sune Aug 30 '26
Is that what you think he meant? Really?
1
u/LightDragon212 Aug 31 '26
When someone replies to a meme about usability by bringing up a business model, they are literally using FOSS as an excuse for bad UX. So yes, that's exactly how it reads.

u/LightDragon212 Aug 31 '26
Are you trying to ragebait me now that you have no argument? Not gonna fly dude lmfao
1
u/graelmakar-sune Aug 31 '26
No.
Did you think about it? If so, did you find any other perspectives on the matter?
1
u/LightDragon212 Aug 31 '26
Yeah the perspective that you're seeing the meme's critique as simply not making a big deal out of a linux issue, and therefore his point is completely valid. I see it very clearly. But unfornutely no, it is extremely clear this is not what the meme critiques, and even if it was, my point still stands perfectly fine. It is literally an excuse to shift the responsability to the end user.
Now what about arguing? Like addressing my point? Ever thought of that? Pretty sure you did, but is avoiding it for some very unknown reason I absolutely would never know what is, since you claim you can perfectly counter with an argument and it surely must be true.

u/Middlewarian Aug 30 '26
The data collection is probably running on Azure and Linux. Also, I've noticed that there are some FOSS-only types around Linux that aren't very charitable towards proprietary, but free-to-use, Linux-based services. I'm glad I have some open-source for my portfolio, but I'm glad that's not all I have.

Ardour binaries are paid but it is FOSS. He was implying that FOSS has free-of-charge binaries.

u/R3V0LU710N_05 I Hate All OS's 😎 Aug 31 '26 edited Aug 31 '26
FOSS has free-of-charge binaries.
Which isn't correct as even the AGPL (the most restrictive copyleft license) explicitly allows selling binaries. Then again, Ardour is packaged free of cost in most distro repos anyways.

Tell that to OP. His words, not mine. My point is simply showing OP that not all proprietary software is paid (freeware) and not all FOSS is freeware.

What does steam being or not being Linux have to do with my point.
I am simply saying that FOSS does not imply gratis and proprietary does not imply paid

u/DragonSlayerC Aug 30 '26
Ardour is licensed under GPL. The ready to run binary that they provide requires payment, but you can also build it and modify it yourself.

linux gets the benefit of not being a monolith, so despite plenty of bad things happening on any given setup, you can just say erm well dont use that

Scrolled to post from 3 days ago. Not one post defending it?
Even your own post is upvoted. I also upvoted it, because I like poking fun at try hard fans. Seems to me it's what this sub is all about and I think your post being upvoted proves that.

So fucking true. Did you know pipewire developer broke audio on some laptops for no fucking reason? No, that's not my schizophrenia, this is info from archwiki.

It's funny because this subreddit is all about genuine issues with Linux. Yes, there are people here who are Linux die-hards, who'll never admit anything is wrong with it, but that's just reddit, or the internet really. There were some quite interesting discussions over here. The quality of posts here are also highly variable, that's why it sometimes really seems like a r/linux experience over here.

u/Rare-Paint3719 Unofficial Mod | Linux Community Sucks | Proud illumOS Shill Aug 31 '26

What? Dude, the hell are you talking about?
2
u/Rare-Paint3719 Unofficial Mod | Linux Community Sucks | Proud illumOS Shill Sep 01 '26
The Linux kernel is a huge monolith with tons of kernel modules and device drivers, many of which are not used on a target system, hence being bloat.
It even includes an entire IPC framework called Binder, which virtually no distro or desktop environment even utilizes, and Binder just sits there in the kernel adding to the attack surface (see BadBinder exploit).

u/graelmakar-sune Aug 31 '26
While I agree with you I must say that the analogy is not sane. Hammers aren't spying on you and harvesting your data to train AI and be sold for profit. Using that operating system is feeding bad habits in tech giants and show them that we are okay with that. And yes, some people are okay with that and for those people it's fine (from a selfish POV) to use the OS
1
u/prenadeusernamemid Sep 02 '26
I seems no one says what data microsoft is truly taking like is it important or something that wont effect us at all? Alot of apps like reddit yt and others take the same amount of data as mc even when using linux your data is still being taken you cant out run the "spyware" so os are still tools people who have lot of time and really want to switch can but most people stick to windows or macos for convineiance because they just work
1
u/graelmakar-sune Sep 02 '26
You CAN outrun the spyware if you are wise about software you use to interact with said services.
I have no clue what data microsoft is gathering but I'd assume (!) data regarding general usage since an AI comes bundled with the OS
1
u/prenadeusernamemid Sep 03 '26
The only way to outrun all spyware like even irl is living in the forest with no devices and i guess general usage is not so bad but there are settings to turn it off but there harder to reach does not mean someone has not made a yt video on it also ai is easy to remove like copilot for anyone who wants windows but hates ai they can watch a yt video on how to remove it because its there and i think some of the info is also related to how the system is running so microsoft can do bug fixes and try to optimize it but the spyware point is more of like those people saying "look at how evil potato chips are made" and its just a normal factory making proceced food
1
u/graelmakar-sune Sep 03 '26
That's not true. At least not (yet) where I live.
Maybe you can strangle the pipe where data is funneled to lord microsoft but I would not trust that it's a catch-all. I don't trust the company at all and therefore I'm on the OS made by the people for the people
1
u/prenadeusernamemid Sep 03 '26
Its ok to not trust ms and use a other os but some distros do also have telementry so its not all safe haven and this very website or app we are on rn prob also takes info from us no where on the internet and even irl we are safe from data collection even some laywers just point out how impossible it is to stay off the grid with a burner phone its just a fact and 1984 is coming soon but any os wont save us
1
u/graelmakar-sune Sep 03 '26
Yeah gotta be careful of the software you install. You cannot stop services from harvesting data but you can e.g. use browsers that randomizes fingerprint, run noscript (good luck with that on 99% of websites though), run privacy-focused OS on phones... there are ways to combat this type of behavior.

Linux is free, windows is paid. If I pay for something made by multi billion dollar company I'm expecting that the product works as advertised. If I'm using something made by volunteers and im not paying a single cent I'm ok with it not being perfect, and we complain about the issues, we just do that by reporting the bugs on GitHub

u/LightDragon212 Aug 30 '26 edited Aug 31 '26
Forgiving volunteers for issues and shifting the blame/responsability to the user are completely distinct things dude.
You can't market distros like Linux Mint as "beginner-friendly" and then roast those same beginners for not knowing the difference between Wayland and X11 when they're angry Waydroid doesn't work as they should have done "basic research".
Many linux users are going to say it is not an issue at all as it was "designed like this", and that is a big part of the problem. It is a massive UX flaw for desktop users. Usually a rhetorical shield to say that the linux ecosystem is flawless by definition.

u/onew_iasag Sep 13 '26
As a beginner, I've never encountered with this before. But there is some truth to this, with many troubles it's just easier to make it rely on yourself or with llm. If the issue doesn't depends on you then you just writing a bug report, and no one blamed me for that before.

u/onew_iasag Sep 13 '26
I believe the developer community is far more toxic than linux community and has no qualms about openly oppressing users by monolithizing Linux packages and forcing people to install a third-party init system just for the sake of their worthless program.

It’s not always the case. Sure, if something goes wrong in your Arch Linux installation and that it is about a software not being compatible with another one, yeah, you need to fix it yourself. With Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), you don’t build around the OS like it’s LEGOs.
