Says Linux is bad but uses a toaster without a license
Who says linux is bad? At worst people say it’s too hard for them to use at home, but i never heard someone say it’s bad.
I’ve heard people make the argument that Linux is bad because it’s too hard to use.
It’s bad to recommend to less tech-literate people. It’s bad to force on someone in general.
Who is forcing Linux on anyone?
I’ve had an IT guy try to make me use Linux. I tried and failed, so he put Windows back on. I felt shame.
linux sucks because i was promsed a cute penguin but instead got some blue triangle???
You got a blue triangle?
I got a blue butthole
Man I have to settle for a purple thing with a hole in it, I don’t even know what it is
No one wants a frozen butthole
“Linux is superior, i am in full control and free to use my device however”
has an iphone
It’s not like there are actual Linux alternatives on the phone market
PostmarketOS is an Alpine distro packaged as a mobile OS. Full phat Linux on a smart phone.
Yeah there are some, Jolla is another, but I already know I will lose all my banking and payment apps and will end up still having to use an android in addition.
Might be able to sandbox those in android VMs. I can run my banking app in WSL surprisingly. It’s useless there but it does run.
I’ve never owned an iPhone, but it’s not like Android is the land of freedom
I have iPhone and I VNC/RDP into my linux server at home when I want to do anything productive
I have an iPhone because I don’t want full control. When I had android phones I would fuck with them until their death.
Android has to be the worst version of Linux there is
It’s so fucking bad. It’s actually worse than Windows.
How come?
I would assume because windows you can work your way through things and disable all the bad stuff. Android on the other hand is becoming more restrictive every year and you can do much about it
Android is hardly linux and is also bad.
I wouldn’t say it’s bad per se, but getting worse. If they go through with their app developer verification thing then it will definitively cross the threshold from “thin fucking ice” to shit
Android is frustrating with the way it limits you from doing what you want within the os.
But Android is a Linux… Not GNU/Linux, but neither is Alpine.
And OSX is a BSD but nobody i ntheir right mind would consider it a BSD distro.
Says won’t use anything made by Linus Torvalds. Uses Git.
Linux is BAD - Best Android Dependency.
I like the meaning of BAD, Best Android Dependency. 🥰 That’s awesome 😎
“Linux is bad”, because it doesn’t provide have data collection and transfer to shady corporations with large PR umbrellas, out of the box.
Android comes pre-installed on my device, with automatic security updates and manufacturer support for the likely lifetime of the device.
I’d definitely use a Linux PC if it came out of the box ready to go like that.
Did phone manufacturer finally decide to keep supporting their models after the first year/couple of years? Or did the “likely lifetime” of a smartphone dropped below that in the meantime?
If anything, my experience with “manufacturer support” on android isn’t particularly stellar, with the only outlier being my current Samsung XCover, which is kinda cheating due to the thing being a rugged phone targeting companies and not the average joe, so the thing is built to last, both hardware and software side.
On the other hand you do have a couple (maybe even three!) companies that offer linux pre-installed on their machines.
I mean, it doesn’t magically appear on the device. You pay for the installation, it’s just included in the price of the device (with Windows you also pay for the license key, by the way). There are companies that’ll install Linux for you. Hell, pay me $30 and cover shipping, I’ll gladly set you up with, I don’t know, Fedora and even add a timer with notifications that’ll nag you about package updates, just like Android does.
Yeah, I know that, the manufacturer has already installed the OS etc.
What I want is a warranty and guaranteed manufacturer support, rather than me needing to figure out how to fix it.
Outside of specialized B2B software, I never met a tech rep that would be helpful with an issue. Do you actually have experience where you’d call Google/Apple/Microslop and get help with their software? In Linux world, with many programs I can just go and nag the actual developer of the thing, which often works wonders.
