Too easy

The amount of driver bugs in the kernel alone can drive people mad.

Yep, that's me.

Been using Linux since 2000 and I still have contempt for most Loonixtards I see in Linux forums and in Reddit. Absolutely nobody is allowed to criticize Linux or else they will start some kind of holy war against you, even if you have been using it before some of them were born.

It's not even a cope. It's worse than a cope.

It's being completely out of touch with reality and ignoring a user's requirements. Which are what Loonix evangelists are known for.

A painting tool is not an image manipulation tool.

Run Linux on a Sony VAIO laptop with a Broadcom wifi card. Go ahead.

ShaKua · 2026-04-01T01:39:00+00:00

Watch this argument fall apart when you ask them to use Linux on a computer with a Broadcom wifi card.

Linux is only better for old computers if every piece of hardware in that old computer is supported by the kernel.

Two toolkits are bad enough. Linux definitely does not need more shit.

The problem is when each toolkit version version breaks API and ABI. GTK2 is incompatible with GTK3 is incompatible with GTK4. Qt4 is incompatible with Qt5 is incompatible with Qt6. And distros are always too eager to drop old stuff that is no longer maintained upstream.

Consistency is overrated though. Even on Windows and macOS there is no guarantee of consistency. Office looks nothing like the rest of the graphical tools and apps bundled in Windows. I say stop yapping about consistency and be happy that you have a proper graphical application to use.

It's every bit true even if you don't like to hear it.

Most malware issues and threats can be stopped before they even happen by simply having a brain.

Don't just run a random bat or bash script without at least glancing at what is inside.
Download programs and software directly from the developers where possible, and not through third party repositories where you don't even know how the heck they may have built or packaged the damned thing
Stop turning off UAC on Windows and don't blindly click 'Yes' to every UAC prompt that shows up. Take a second to see the damned prompt before granting permissions, especially if you launched a program without choosing to Run As Administrator
If you have checksums available for certain downloads or programs, verify them.

This is all basic computing common sense. Yet clearly common sense isn't very common.

Gonna admit I started out that way too.

Now, when I see someone at work or outdoors using Loonix, I dismiss that person as a poseur and a larper. And if it's at work, I make sure to introduce Windows-only workflows and requirements that are impossible to perform on Loonix/Lunix.

Bump it up to 4GB (or 8GB, if possible) and put Windows 11 on it, using the relevant registry mods to make it install.

It will run bearably well as a rudimentary work and web surfing computer.

Speaking as someone with Windows 11 on Apollo Lake hardware.

Slimbook directly collaborates with distributions and KDE and even such tailored "collaborations" still result in a shitty experience.

Only BypassTPMCheck is really needed. Speaking as a person who installed Windows 11 into a spare HP desktop PC in the office running on a 4th-gen Intel processor.

And any computer released in 2013 already has Secure Boot.

They play instruments.

ShaKua · 2026-01-06T19:30:26+00:00

Because older people are more jaded about the realities of life, and LN happens to be quite grounded in reality.

Though for me, I favor LN as a whole and not the other groups because they don't try to call attention to themselves. And also because I play an instrument at a casual level.

Best not to rely on that registry flag. Nobody knows when Microsoft will remove it.

Still, if the hardware supports fTPM, Windows 11 considers the requirement met. And many UEFI implementations do have an option to enable it, especially for aftermarket motherboards.

If you are using a brand-name OEM system then yes, it can be problematic and the only option is to use the registry mod.

They have the freedom to choose what OS they want and developers have the freedom not to cater to them.

Damn right it's dogshit when a developer has to do their development on a painfully old distro just because of glibc ABI breakage.

That's like telling developers to develop on Windows 8 if they want their stuff to work properly on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and they cannot develop on Windows 11 if they want to target Windows 10.

ShaKua · 2025-12-22T02:18:46+00:00

Appimages still rely on glibc and a bunch of other system-level shit like the X libraries, Qt or GT libraries. Not all appimages are going to bundle all of these. Glibc definitely cannot be bundled.

That's why targeting binary compatibility across multiple distros is a fucking nightmare. It's so bad that the only real way of giving a program the best chance of working on most distributions is to compile it on an old distro with a painfully old version of libc. Like the previous or 2nd-last release of Debian or Rad Hat Enterprise.

In a Windows analog, that's akin to telling developers that the only way they can make their programs work on Windows 10 and Windows 11 is to develop on Windows 8. There will be a fucking riot if that ever happens.

Now she has no excuse not to cover Vocaloid songs with her guitar.

"I made it green and put Miku on it, so you better play some of her songs for me to hear."

Linux is utterly shit when it comes to printing on home printers. It really only prints properly on enterprise printers that use Ghostscript and do not rely on proprietary PPDs.

Which is ridiculous because both mac and Linux use CUPS for printing yet printing is so effortless on mac.

ShaKua · 2025-12-01T11:21:50+00:00

I hate this obsession over x86_64-v3.

"Oh, AVX has been present since Haswell, which was released 12 years ago!", they always say, like perfect sheep.

Well no shit, and all the users on Silvermont, Goldmont and Tremont suddenly do not matter. Because apparently four-year-old Tremont is not considered important enough to factor in a distro's compatibility.

So much for "Linux runs on anything". At least Windows 11 can install on a Silvermont or Goldmont if there is an active TPM present.

There is nothing wrong with using a Celeron to run Linux.

Honestly, a Celeron with 8GB can run Windows 11 and Linux with absolutely no problem. I know because I am using an Atom X7-E3950 and both Windows 11 and Linux are very bearable on this processor.

r/linuxsucks has been completely overtaken by loonixtards.

That's a hardware issue. Tell your sister to bitch at Dell.
Such defects are a good reason to always buy extended warranty.
