Person who clearly really cares: “No one cares that you do thing”
He has probably seen countless people starting to use linux and is pissed by the percieved popularity.
Nah, it’s just annoying seeing it in SO many conversations. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation, it’s just some weird bragging.
btw did you know I use Linux :p
Woah! That’s so cool dude! How are the Bluetooth and Nvidia drivers on that… ;)
I’m using bazzite, so I’ve had absolutely no issues (note that I have an Intel iGPU bc shitty laptop)
Both are great! I’m using a bluetooth 8BitDo controller with a bluetooth wireless keyboard to game on my 1080TI :)
I have a dumb BT5 dongle that doesn’t work annoyingly.
I always check reviews for things like BT adapters to see if people mention it working OTB on Linux. Usually if the manufacturer says compatible with Linux it’ll work right away, but some want drivers installed.
I get what you’re trying to do here but the thing is, bluetooth and nvidia are terrible on every platform tbh… At the very least, nvidia laptops on Windows for my friends haven’t been as stable as my AMD laptop on Arch has been for me. I hear nvidia on desktop is solid, so that might be the issue here though. Which also reminds me, nvidia on Linux isn’t really an issue anymore, they work as well as their windows counterpart basically and nearly every distro makes them really easy to install.
And Bluetooth on Linux right now is just as terrible as on Windows, which is to say, it works pretty well.
It was a joke. Just like “If a tree falls in the forest, and you’re watching a video of it on Linux, does it make a sound?”
I dislike Bluetooth anyway, it’s a shit protocol.
I did get the joke, that’s why I started the way i did

If I see a post of weird bragging that I don’t care about I personally don’t feel the need to reply to them to let them know that I don’t care. I just keep scrolling.
If the weird bragging was happening enough to annoy me then I would down vote and keep scrolling.Do you want a medal? Do you feel special?
/S
Do you want a medal?
Sure, what does it look like?
I’m on a instance that doesn’t allow down votes
Okay, so just scroll past it then. Or move to an instance with down votes.
I do.

I wasn’t, I was just responding to the previous person as to why it’s annoying
Yeah I started using Linux.
You’re probably better off
No, not really?
In this case it’s a response to a pretty obnoxious comment. You could argue that the comment op is acting like an apple fan, ms fan or any kind of thing fan that enters a conversation.
It can’t be answered in this context, cause there is no context in the post.
What do you mean superior complex? I am superior
Superior complex? I find it quite simple
There is no complexity I’m simply superior.

Imagine internalizing Microsoft/Apple abuse so deeply that you get angry at ppl who don’t want any of that shit
Yeah, I’ve actually been looking into trying Linux as my entire personality as well
Seems like they get allllllll the babes, amirite?
👈🏻😎👉🏻
wdym? or rather what are you referring to? (sry am a bit dense sometimes)
like as long as you are not the “basement-dwelling (arch) elitist” stereotype, advocating for free/libre software is pretty cool imo
(also did you just say Linux when referring to desktop? insert “actually what are you referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux” copypasta here /j)
I’m a bit dense as well, so you’re among friends (not sure I fully get ur reply, tbh)
I was mostly piggybacking on your popular comment to poke fun at people that seem to take their choice of OS a bit too seriously. That “as well” at the end feels odd; it was meant more like the “too” at the end of “and I probably would’ve got away with it too.”
now I get what you mean lol
tho I still think that being passionate about the things you care about (be that technical or social justice) is something wonderful. As long as you don’t go down the path of elitism
I had someone tell me that I was doing exactly that this weekend when I wrote a forum post and feedback submit to the company I buy my keycaps from for a 1.5u Tux or Logo key option rather than the windows 10 logo they currently offer.
I figure they’ll offer at least their logo as that’d sell really well (glorious, look em up for why), but having someone reply that I needed to not make Linux my whole life was weird
Windrones coping is always fun to see
Not sure it’s cope as much as being unable to accept that their attempted put down is having no effect. Bully is in their own head about their inability to get under someone’s skin.
A raging douche.
You basically explained that it is coping?
cope /kōp/
intransitive verb
-
To contend or strive, especially on even terms or with success.
“coping with child-rearing and a full-time job.”
-
To contend with difficulties and act to overcome them.
-
To form a cope or arch; to bend or arch; to bow.
As a foreigner it’s really jarring seeing this verb adopting a new meaning of “failing to cope”. I’ve seen it many times, it’s definitely not you and not new, but it does make the English language just a tad more inaccessible.
it’s mostly just internet lingo. English is not my native language either and I sometimes have the opposite problem: I know/use the internet definition/meaning but not the “official” one lol
Urban Dictionary is your friend in such cases, that’s where I usually go for stuff like this
Every time I have to get to UD, though:
understandable, but tbh my terminally online brain finds it funny and sometimes genuinely interesting what kind of bs ppl come up with
Im kinda an english native depending on definition but for a very long time i mainly used it on the internet so sometimes i use too many contractions and slang with people who are not as good with it which can lead to confusion.

Spend more time around people under 25, while they’re around other people who are also under that age. I hear it a lot.
Edit: To be clear, I’m not even under 25. Just spend a lot of time with people who are. Makes you feel old when younger folks ‘code-switch’ and use different language choices with you…
one could call that an “oof moment” lol
but tbh I will probably feel the same when I have to talk with the “skibbidy toilet” generation (aka gen alpha) in the future
(I only recently found out what that even is 💀)

It’s their insecurities dripping through because they deem themselves power users and learn that they don’t actually know shit so they usually very ignorantly and incorrectly put it down. It’s a hard pill to swallow when they realize they are just LTT gamer bro Windows users that struggle to use something my grandma runs.
Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying “I use Arch btw” is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the “Linux user” commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.I use(d) Arch, btw.
I don’t know, I think it was pretty fun trolling after someone coming to say something as dull as “you want a medal or something”
Sure. But the original statement is just as dull. Assuming no specific context.
Made sense after watching the video the comment was made on(if it really is the right video)
I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting “No thanks, I’m a vegan” on it. Then why did you open this video?!
Hahahahah yeah yeah you make a very valid point
I (can’t figure out if I’m) us(ing th)e( correct drivers on) Arch, btw.
My comment is still being compiled
Ah, a Gentoo user.
I don’t use Arch btw.
I use Arch-imedes btw. (Ngl this should be a new Linux distro)
Sometimes it’s just for fun, especially when people desperately are trying to feed the troll.

It’s my own post, but thanks!
fuck
If it makes you feel any better, same username but different instance, so you didn’t get any of the UI (web or app) flags to show you they were OP. I woulda totally made the same mistake.
I-it’s not like I CARE you use a geeky operating system. Dummy.

Ohhhh I am sooo impressed! Have you also downloaded the classified instruction manual for Linux from Linus Torvald’s website, took a correspondence course in machine code, translated the manual, memorized it, and eaten it? Have you Danfg7215? Torvald?
I don’t need to feel superior I already know I am
