    If that’s the case and I’ve somehow managed to just never see any of those threads until recently…

    They might want to know that constantly saying “Windows bad, Linux good” in every thread doesn’t convert people, it just gets annoying. That in turn makes people dislike the group and dismiss what they say without a second thought, even if they’re right.

      You seem to misunderstand. Here on the Fediverse, Linux users are NOT such a minority as on the rest of the Internet. Most people here do not need “converting”. They already have. Again, you’re not on Reddit or Twitter. You are literally surrounded by open source enthusiasts.

        Oh I don’t misunderstand at all. They’re preaching to the choir and thinking they’re doing something. Like idiots.

          Yes, it’s called a circlejerk. Happens on many forums where people agree on something. It’s not that serious.

            …and as Internet has turned in to a myriad of echo chambers, circlejerking and trolling is all there is anymore.

      Using Windows on purpose because of a couple annoying nerds is quite the self-own

        Posting as if your choice of OS is inherently superior to other choices is just pathetic.

      Actually, I saw enough comments about people switching to Linux that I finally said “what the hell” and took the plunge! Very glad I did, as I read more and more crap Microsoft is doing.

      And if you don’t like comments that won’t change anything and just annoy people…maybe you should reevaluate your bellyaching 😄
