Keep it polite, folks. No personal attacks against others, especially speculations regarding mental or emotional capabilities.

Lol don't give them any attention. It's the same 3 people who didn't get loved enough during their formative years and cannot distinguish between good attention and bad attention
All three of them are Lunduke.
But lunduke doesn't hate Linux. Only the fact that women are using it.
Idk if this is a joke or not.
Based on his more recent content, it's almost serious.
Meh. I have no issues with novelty accounts/ projects that are taking the piss.
I honestly think the whole Linux community should be reading that sub rather than acting like Linux is perfect. Right now desktop Linux is for very tech savvy people who are willing to put in the time to learn and fix, and itβs for their grandmas who only need a web browser and maybe a word processor. Anyone who thinks differently needs to get their head out of the sand. I use Fedora.
linux is terrible because removing the entire root folder can brick your system it should be more like windows where removing system32 can brick your system
I'm a bit bias right now because I tried to install PopOS on a partition last night to see if i could play with it and make a media server. My VPN client failed to install properly, corrupted the OS and when I booted back to the live disk (Rufus made USB) I was able to format the partition but no longer install to it. The boot loader no longer works and it can't get into any OS now.
I have to say I haven't had this problem before, but working in IT and installing Windows on over 10 thousand computers in my career, this has happened to none.
(I'll try another installer likely and format the partition over and see if another bootloader like grub will take and fix the issue).
Edit: changed course and said fuck it.. formatted the entire drive and so much for the other data that was there. Clean install maybe the VPN client won't botch everything this time.

I love how he complains about being "brigaded" when the most comments on any post in the community is like 8.
The community definitely has been brigaded though, as every single post (except one that is negative to Microsoft) has been downvoted to oblivion.
'Brigading' would be if pro-Linux communities were organizing to specifically target another community.
The fediverse is likely to attract the kinds of people interested in Linux in the first place, and all the negative attention that community attracts comes organically.
I talked with the user a bit in Linux_vs_Windows before they were booted from the community, and it's my opinion that they just have a hate-boner going for Linux. It's possible to have valid criticism of Linux, but they go way past legitimate and straight into obsession territory. They tend to post in that community daily. So their points aren't exactly great (though sometimes they hit on a good meme) and they get the points they get naturally.
It's not a conspiracy, their arguments just tend to be shit.

I'm gonna be real with you, one of the first things I've done when I joined lemmy, was to block most of the linux-centered communities.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the same as blocking fucking metric tons of brainrot that you have to do on other platforms, but at the end of the day - constant spam of geeky stuff is still a clutter if you're not interested in the topic.
Most Linux haters have skill issue. I mean you can apply a complete Windows-mimicking skin to Ubuntu or Mint and use that

Funny that thereβs a meme against open source on lemmy
Some of those posts are decent jokes to be honest. Some are just desperate/scare tactics though.
I thought it was a satiric thing - is it meant to be seriously?
They're very serious. Or a very dedicated troll. Or both.
I got banned from that community when I said that I had no trouble playing any Steam or Heroic Launcher games. I also said I don't play any AAA slop and especially any rootkit shit.
If it was satire, they wouldn't have taken offense at that.
I'm not sure. Some posts legitimately seem like Linux users making fun of themselves. Others really seem like people who have an actual grudge against it.
If you satirically make a community about the Earth being a triangle, users who actually believe it will pop up eventually.
The owner once said they were not a meme community in a post. Empirical evidence disagrees.

Who did this? The mods themselves? I mean they're entitled to do whatever they like in their community... within instance rules... Or is this some intervention by someone else?

This sucks. I was about to sub and contribute.
How is this not a joke community, like the Lunduke videos?
I thought the same at first, then I started to think the main person was just trolling, now I'm pretty sure they're actually serious

Microwaving any of your computer parts can brick them.
I accidentally ran rm -rf / on my work MacBook once. Proper backups and patience with yourself are far better solutions than recommending to let Microsoft infect your computer.
So that meme reminds me of a prank.
There was once I had the same exact laptop as a buddy, but wasn't using it anymore. He was finishing his degree and just about to turn in like 8 papers/assignments and had a ton of work saved on it. So I wiped my laptop and installed fresh Kubuntu, and then swapped the drives when he wasn't looking. Then I pretended to have done him a favor since he had been having intermittent windows problems.
He was livid but was trying so hard to be kind, loool. Made it better when I could swap it right back and everything was there
That's just mean lol

I just realized that I've already blocked both of the mods at some point in the past. The community looks really dead without their posts.

Wow, I assumed this was just some lighthearted trolling. I think they might actually be upset.
