Yes, go to the Linuxmemes community. Seems like tons of users there keep making Windows memes that have nothing to do with Linux, because they can’t handle how popular Windows is. If you point out the misinformation, or even show any love for Windows, you get downvoted to hell if not outright banned.
Yes, go to the linuxsucks community. Seems like one guy spends all his time making anti-linux propaganda. If you point out the misinformation portions he bans you.
That’s dumb. It’s a fucking computer. If you’re able to use it, who cares. If people use a different system who fucking cares? It doesn’t affect anyone but yourself.
Microsoft and Apple are steering the computing space in a very anti-consumer space. So for many people, it is more than just an OS, but an ethical statement.
The less people use Windows and MacOS, the less sway they have in the computing space.
Is it hipster to advocate for mega corpo to fuck off?
Not sure how you got this from my reply, but mega corpos influence our life for the worst. Trying to diminish their influence in our life isn’t hipsterism.
It does though because a higher marketshare means more money for them. And if they have almost all the marketshare, they can influence the market easily (see Google and Web Manifest V3).
If people don’t use Windows for example, chances are they won’t buy Office365 and/or OneDrive.
And that doesn’t even broach how Microsoft tried to deploy Recall, which was taking a screenshot of what people were doing every few seconds, a major breach of privacy.
So they might not influence people as much as Meta for example, but it does influence them.
I do sometimes feel bad for MS Windows users. I rarely “hate on” them, but that largely depends on their reaction my inability / unwillingness to use the communication/collaboration tools and data formats they are used to.
Is this really a thing to hate on someone for their operating system?
Like, I use a computer to browse sites like this, play games, and do simple shit like writing (film) scripts, or playing around in Excel.
operating system never has ever crossed my mind.

I just don’t get it. I don’t judge people based on their fucking phone. It makes no sense to care about what computer people use.

The idea of that is actually quite funny. A grown up who is actually that petty unironically.

Sure they do, but an OS isn’t influencing your life compared to Meta or any of the media conglomerates.

Why? They use a different product than you do. How does that affect you in any way?
Usually it’s because we have a mutual desire to communicate, collaborate, or exchange data.
When it doesn’t affect me, I generally don’t think about it, and I certainly don’t “hate on” them.
