IME the best way to avoid this experience is to just soften your language slightly and be willing to take the extra ten minutes to provide resources to people. "Switch to Linux" is a command, and people generally don't like being told what to do. "Have you considered switching to Linux? It doesn't have as many problems with [whatever] as Windows" with a link to a "Linux for noobs" type guide doesn't get the same response. And be willing to take "no" for an answer!

Fr, sometimes people get too angry about other people suggesting linux and use old as fuck stereotypes

i am tired of Windows bloatware and allat spyware, the microslop account

"Try Linux, it has none of that"
I don't want linux!! It's useless i don't want to write 300 commands to install something!! you loonix users are so annoying

Then why the fuck are you complaining about microslop being microslop πŸ’”

I mean it's fair to vent here and there but I wonder if they concidered to troubleshoot their issue or write E-Mails or bug reports to Microslop first.

This is pretty much what it feels like when you suggest this in the pcmasterrace subreddit or a windows community lol

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 6 points 10 hours ago

windows community

in this case i'd say it' s a fair reaction, i would be angry too if someone in the linux community would say "just use BSD duh"

[-] juipeltje@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Well yeah i'm not saying you should do that and have never done that myself either lol. It did happen at the pcmasterrace subreddit though, which is funny cause it seems like these days i hear more of them complaining about people mentioning linux than there are actual people mentioning linux. I ended up muting the subreddit cause it got so annoying.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
