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

    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.

    rm -rf / can brick your system

    Well good thing there’s basically no legitimate reason to ever even use rm -rf / anyway so GNU version is perfectly within its rights to refuse to do that by default, am I right? If you know what you’re doing and want to nuke partitions, that’s what cfdisk and mkfs are for, dammit

    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
