I am so tired of Linux users who scream "I use X btw" everywhere... Like maybe it was cool some decade ago, but now it's just annoying seeing it wherever I go. I hope Photon will eventually feature content filtering by keywords.

Agreed. It's stupid and played out. Enough already. Also please stop calling desktop themes "rice".

Imagine your identity being what OS is on your computer. And I'm a Linux sysadmin lol

Also Linux people bash Windows server but it's actually getting pretty good. I am running some server 2022 instances right now and they just work. I was tasked to make a gold image but I found basically nothing to strip away from the install out of box. Try it before you bash it.

Free and open source software are good examples of an alternative to the way we manage labor today. Wanting gay space communism is as much a part of my personality as me liking Star Trek and Linux. Moreso they are part of the same coherent picture.

The very nature and origin of Windows is part of the problem.

Going Linux is as much of a political choice as it is a practical one. Software must be free, and Linux shows it very much can, while remaining practical up to the very enterprise level, data centers and supercomputers. and while we normally don't think of enterprises as champions of free software, their influence is essentially the greatest.

Been hearing that since the 90s, but win NT is actually pretty good, it just works. Nah thanks, I'm no longer a sysadmin and haven't tried Windows past 2000 server I think, but unless you are stuck with running Windows specific stuff (it was sql server for me at the time), and assuming you have a say in the company/project you work on, why bother?

Windows was horrible back then.
