You don’t tell people that you use Arch in random conversations? /s

People don’t have any reason to recommend Windows because it’s the regular OS everyone already uses.

Linux may be an improvement for a lot of people’s use cases but a vast majority of them don’t even know it exists and its not just for servers and stuff. Mac people probably do this too.

I actually do. All the time. And I think you should too. Don’t understand why people seem to think there’s something wrong with that.

When you tell people to use Linux and they have any issues or something is unclear, they’ll ask you every time. Not sure how many people I could support simultaneously.

If they do that, support them in fixing it themselves, instead of just fixing it for them. Give a person a fish, feed them for a day or something…

Every time one of my friends has issues with windows, I tell them to install a real OS.

The original image said windows where this would be accurate but I doubt it applies to the average linux user

Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.

The red circles convinced me to enlarge the picture to read it.

I’m confused, is the image about Linux? I don’t see it says Linux anywhere in the red circles. /s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
