The duck can't actually say anything because his sound drivers randomly stopped working.

I'm really triggered by the idea that Linux makes running old software easy. The bane of my existence is finding an application that depends on libButts.5.1, but my distro ships with libButts.5.3, which isn't backward compatible for some reason, and trying to install libButts.5.1 bricks the desktop environment for some reason.

The last character: I can make you spend an entire day trying to install some software or configuring something specific

Windows also doesn't let you remove system apps.

Linux: I can't install steam without breaking my system

Linux: "my users spend half their time troubleshooting"

I think we should stop trying to figure out what operating system is superior, and just focus on shitting on Microsoft windows.

I don't have a printer.

I don't like open ports.

Decides to remove CUPS.

"apt list -i *cups*"

There are like 7 CUPS packages and dependencies.

for each package "apt remove cups --simulate"

Get to package 6 and decide 'Ok. No major issues, looks fine.'

For the first 6 packages "sudo apt remove CUPS"

This is easy and painless!

On 7th ...

Removing cups-pk or some shit.... Removing mint-common... Removing cinnamon-desktop...

Oh, fuck

"I can't build a steady userbase"

Yeah, you can run old app on Linux, as long as you compile it manually while solving a shitton of dependency problems.

I'm predominantly a Windows user. However I dual boot with Mint as I am trying to get away from Windows. It's really not easy but I'm trying.

I gotta say though these types of posts make me cringe. I really don't know why some Linux users put themselves on a pedestal all the time. You make these sorts of smug posts making out that Linux is perfect. I have never installed Linux and had it just work. There is always something that requires searching the web for a fix and firing up the terminal to start changing something in /etc/.

I get it. You're proud of your technology. But vegans are proud they don't eat animal products. We don't need to keep selling it to the rest of the world.

All three lines are incorrect, Amazing.

If I want to dd /dev/zero to my bootsector, goddammit, let me do it.

Re-creation of someone else's post because the original was removed and I found it funny when I first saw it

If the original was removed, there's probably a reason.

This "meme" chooses the dumbest reasons Linux is better when there are so many other options than "updates" and "old app"

I had the opposite problem with Windows 11.

My typical way of shutting down my machine was Alt-D, Show Desktop, then Alt-F4, which brings up a shutdown menu.

For whatever reason in Win 11, they made this menu unable to trigger updates. So for the first several months of my Win 11 install it was quietly never receiving any updates at all.

Funny, what kernel does android run?

I think it's humorous how many people are getting offended at such a silly post

It’s always entertaining when people complain about not being able to stop Windows updates.

Like, has it occurred to you that you are the reason the MS had to prevent you from being able to update your system?!

Isn't Android just Linux under the hood? You are free to brick your device with root access.

No, obnoxious elitism breeds controversy - or more likely, indifference.

Linux users are like Vegans. No one likes them and they won't stop bratting about being a Linux user.

You can stop unnecessary update on windows by using LTSC, on Android you can delete system app with adb or root
