    Listen, telling other members of a privacy community on lemmy to "just switch to Linux bro" is an enormous waste of time. What this problem needs is outreach beyond tech communities. Ever see those basic ass shorts on Facebook or whatever for "top 7 tips and tricks for becoming an Excel master"? That's the stupid shit this problem needs. Some broccoli haired tiktoker needs to get in front of people and show them that Linux is not scary. That people have a third option aside from Windows and Mac.

    Then, when increasing groups of confused people filter into these threads asking how to uninstall an app, we need to be fucking nice and not admonish them for being new. Lead them through the DE, not CLI. Seriously, want to break 5-6% of OS marketshare? Hold people's hand through it.

    After that, then maybe...just maybe, the likes of Autodesk and Adobe will perk up and start supporting Linux.

      But why even care if some random loser gets fucked by Microsoft? It's like the religious idiots out there who don't believe in global warming and hate trans people: you can't deprogram stupid. It's like waging a war against bears taking a shit in rivers.

        It's an operating system, you fucking dweeb. Your weird moralizing only alienates potential users. And guess what? Without users, a thing dies.

          The lack of self-awareness in this comment is depressing
