@mynameistillian It's a shame, those are good distros for what they are. But there's a real problem with people who gravitate to the most difficult distros just because they're difficult so they can brag about their use of them.
I didn't see this guy's post, but apparently, 70% of global computer users are worse than Hitler, huh?

@mynameistillian I use and like Fedora, myself. For me, it balances ease of use with advanced features for the mainstream Linux user quite well.
Though I am considering a switch to OpenSuSE, which is basically the European equivalent of Fedora, because I'm working to reduce my reliance on American tech.

@turtle @mynameistillian nah it usually goes like: "Languages: Python, Java, C++" (pretending a tech analogy is the real thing is their whole deal)

@mynameistillian@plush.city As a Windows hater with rather educated grammar, uh, not all of us are bad.
@flesh @mynameistillian you can hate Windows without hating people for having to use it. The former is anti-capitalist, the latter is anti- people who don't have the privilege of choosing their desktop environment (or have to choose based on factors like accessibility, and can't find a single Linux distro that's actually accessible to them). There's a world of difference there imo, as another Certified Windows Hater myself

@raphaelmorgan @flesh @mynameistillian yep, I'm stuck using Windows because linux accessibility is somewhere between 'trash' and 'nope'

@raphaelmorgan @flesh @mynameistillian microsoft is easily one of the most evil companies in world history and the hitler comparison is strange to hear from a professed anti-fascist. certainly the building of data centers on Black burial grounds tends to be less well-known but its centrality in the technical infrastructure of israeli genocide and conquest is thoroughly documented.

@raphaelmorgan @flesh @mynameistillian and @dwaynemonroe in particular has produced a youtube series with a materialist analysis of microsoft and windows in relation to the capitalist mode of societal organization which is much further off from this conception of "tech bro" than OP lets on https://youtube.com/watch?v=VABFg40a-pY
