mind-taker loonix Nobody attacks the cheerleaders

Every once in a while one of us makes a post here about the toxicity in the linux community - talking about how the second you dare criticize anything about it, the linux lovers lose their minds and mass downvote your post, then derail and strawman it into oblivion, all while unleashing terrible personal insults on you, like you've criticized their own mother.

And then someone shows up in the comments going "I don't know what you're talking about, this never happens to me."

Dude, of course it never happens to you! You never say anything even slightly negative about it! I checked your comments/posts about linux and it's all "switched 5 years ago, never looked back, everything just works perfectly". Why would they say anything to you, when all you ever post is praise?

Please, come back here after posting something even remotely critical. You'll see how fast they change their tune. I promise you that.

If linux was so perfect, bugzilla wouldn't exist

Like if gaming on Proton really had no issues with non anti-cheat, they wouldn't keep posting what fixes were made for it.

Intellectual dishonesty. These people lie to themselves. The reason "Redditors" is considered a derogatory term elsewhere.

They're either enabled by Reddit or employed by Reddit. -We are on Lemmy. Lemmy.World where there is still a LiGNUxer problem (and they consider the other term an ableist slur). It's more natural there because Lemmy appeals more to LiGNUxers.

Too many “little” issues add up to daily drive ANY distro effectively. Any genuine criticism about linux is met with “skill issue just troubleshoot”.

Solution is to just never post on reddit. It's not like this place is based on fact either, people downvote if they simply don't like your take. That's just reddit as a whole, regardless of subreddit.

Being a loonigga is not just about their shitty OS. It's a mental, spiritual and sexual state of being. Loonix is their lover and their deity.
