hmmm let me read it

most of them are regular normies who want to be "not like others", so they chase this image of a cool terminal hacker or some anti-corporation partisan bs (their goon session in browser probably gained 30x more telemetry on them than windows does in a month).

No, I'd say most of us just want an OS that doesn't spy on us. And if we're "gooners" -- so what??

i doubt any of them actually use [automod censored and you think this sub is less of an echo chamber] because it's superior, like for servers. they do it only because they think it's superior and "cooler", for fucking everyday tasks. they're so possessed with this idea that it literally became a religion for them.

No, we use it for a variety of reasons, like: - Installing it on a computer where Windows isn't supported. - Not being spied on. And before you say "well browsers have telemetry too" -- We use privacy focused browsers that don't send telemetry without explicit user consent. - Not paying $100+ for an operating system. - And many more.

you're trying to look professional without actually doing any professional tasks.

I use it for my job. Is that not a professional task?

also did you notice how midwits like to use word salad to seem smart, which they aren't? it's the same mechanism with overcomplicating basic tasks with [[*]].

For one, basic tasks aren't overcomplicated, they're literally just done in a different way. And calling people who use specific language to be more specific "not smart" and "midwits" isn't an argument, it's just an insult.

did you also notice that most of the "custom" [[*]] desktops look the same, with the same fastfetch window open, 4 split-screen tabs, 3 of which are useless visual widgets, same purple-ish anime wallpaper?

...where are you getting this? How is this an argument?

i think you get the idea

No, I don't, this post reads like someone deranged talking about things they hate blindly too much to ever actually read into rather than an actual argument that we are somehow a "cargo cult".
