    MT is going to continue anyway. Might as well show newbies what a crazy loser they are, so at least the posts all get downvoted into oblivion as they post them

    That's the attention he gets off on. It's not like he's coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He's coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn't even facing the right direction.

    Just ignore him. If you can't do that, condescend to him. But yeah he's getting off on the attention, so don't feed the troll

    Would a criminal not simply pirate a paid operating system?

    One of the big sticking points stopping me from to switching to Linux is that I don't get to do the incredibly cool crime of stealing from Bill Gates. I considered switching to RHEL, but stealing from IBM isn't quite as cool.

    Pfft, look at this guy, who wants to buy only genuine IBM PCs and not PC-clones! I bet he pays for his usenet subscription, and sends his extra AOL free trial CDs back so they can be distributed to users who need it.

    :P

    Pretty sure I responded to the same post.

    He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn't, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac's needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.

    My Linux Android phone doesn't use ecc either, or people's Samsung tv

    My Linux user is not a criminal, they maybe conspiracy theorist, liar, commie, cheater, criminal but they are not a pornstar.

    Edit: forgot conspiracy theorist

    If Linux users were commonly cheaters, you'd think games' anti-cheats would work on Linux.

    I might be a commie, a criminal, and a pornstar, but I am NOT a cheater.

    OOP after shooting L1T Wendell: "What? It was obvious! He's the red commie. Watch, he'll turn red any second now! ...Aaaaaaany second now. See, red! No-wait, that's blood."

    Suggested it might be more fun praising an OS you actually lke, instead of ~500 posts on something you hate. Am now banned

    I feel like this is probably a disinformation bot. Why would a human being have such strong feelings about an OS that allows people to circumvent corporate control/surveillance on their PC?

    Yeah, it's either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it's the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.

    Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don't seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it's made up of people who haven't gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.

    That... might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.

    LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.

    I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.

    Not much competition really.

    This is someone who says "linux users don't have jobs", but on another hand, spends all day making stupid (and occasionally bigoted) memes, like the weird one about pronouns.

    Someone who spends this much time attacking an operating system, probably doesn't have much of an exciting life (and, they probably aren't getting invited to anything, anywhere)

    I admit I’ve tried gently poking into OOP’s psyche and they do genuinely seem committed to the crabs-in-a-bucket crusade against Linux. Like the constant hate boner with zero sources seems like it has to be exhausting. Shame they refuse to use that energy for anything positive but Β―\(ツ)/Β― their life I guess lol

    Not that some of the "they're simply*" options are entirely incorrect for me, But nerd and/or geek is definitely a more apt descriptor.

    It's hard to believe there is anyone who would care so much about Windows that they naturally get this dedicated to crusading for it.

    We know now days that there are people getting paid to discredit vegans online, and that's the only explanation for this that makes sense to me.
