Lemmy is no different than Reddit. Just constant reposts.

It feels worse on Lemmy because the amount of content is so low. Really sucks.

I guess if you enjoy a small group of people jerking themselves off and arguing over which distro is best, sure.

Sure you do.

Great. Let me know how many are still around in a year when people realize they’re working for free, and can’t keep doing it.

Okay, well have fun when you push everyone else away. Lemmy will look like the Ubuntu forums lol.

Not a jerk. Just making sure we have the same dev? because personally, I don’t support garbage behaviour like that.

Damn, that’s really frustrating, and literally doesn’t help one bit. Even if OP wanted to switch.

I use LibreOffice because I keep spreadsheets of my vehicle kilometres and whatnot, but my girlfriend, who works in a professional setting, would never be able to use anything other than Microsoft Office. The compatibility, features, etc. make nothing else a viable alternative, unless you’re keeping stupid at home spreadsheets like I am.

Comments like this make me hope Lemmy fails hard. You’re so ignorant. You want everything for free.

The dev that stole the name and only changed it when enough people got mad at him for essentially impersonating the original dev? Sounds like a deal!

Competent dev?

Any of the FOSS apps, that have had a head start + the “power” of people contributing to it, are all SO far behind Boost when it comes to features and stability.

No.

and another reminder that other apps exist. Don’t get your panties in a bunch because a developer thinks his time is worth something, rightly so.

You hate Boost? Download something else. Personally I prefer an app by a developer who has many years experience making a Reddit app. The free and FOSS apps are fine, but they are all missing stuff and rough around the edges.

Then again, Lemmy attacks anyone who says they like, or require windows, and calls them names on how they should use Linux, despite drivers/programs they rely on not being available on Linux. Seems like it’s hard for the FOSS community to not be toxic.

Bro, anything positive about Mac, Windows, Android that isn’t GrapheneOS, cars, or even fucking eBikes (yes, there was a thread where Lemmy was downvoting and hating on everyone who uses an eBike because they have batteries…), is extremely downvoted.

Everyone expects everything to be 100% FOSS. They refuse to pay, and refuse to be the product. Lemmy is full of entitled ass people.

With the hate here, even after you explained, I am starting to think these FOSS heads are going to kill Lemmy.

Instead of just using any other app, they are attacking you. What a great way to push any future devs away. Lemmy will continue to be a weird little FOSS niche if the FOSS users don’t stop soiling their diapers over nothing.

Linux isn’t trying to compete with Windows for the desktop market. Making fun of it for failing to do that is dishonest at best.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 IS THE YEAR OF LINUX!!!

It caters to the very specific needs and wants of programmers, and it does that incredibly well.

Too bad Linux users don’t understand this. Lemmy is full of Linux nerds acting like Linux is a viable replacement to Windows/MacOS, when it’s not for the majority of users.

The fact that it can now run some quite high-end art and video production packages is a bonus

Ya, despite the fact Davinci free cannot edit h.264 or h.265 video on Linux, or that neither the free or PAID versions can use AAC audio. Very professional.

but no one with an ounce of sense (coughgardinerbryantcough) would seriously argue that Linux will be ready for mass adoption at any point within the next ten years.

You’ve guys been saying this for decades lol.

okay punk. have a shitty day man.

Class. Telling me to have a shitty day because I asked you not to keep asking me about private information. Take the hint. Back off, creep.

Lmao Linux users cope with the “I don’t care, I don’t even want it” excuses. Comes out so naturally when you have to give up nearly everything on Linux.

I don’t want to answer you, stop asking, creep. Get the hint.

I am very happy with my AMD CPU and GPUs, thank you very much.

Lmfao. Enjoy your last gen ray tracing and garbage FSR.

so what is it?

I am not telling you, creep. When someone doesn’t want to answer personal info, stop asking. It’s sad you need to be told this.

Are you really that dense? Different tools don’t equal different workflows. It means some things aren’t possible on kdenlive that people need to use in their professional work.

That’s like saying paint is a replacement for Photoshop. Enjoy trying to professionally edit photos with paint.

But hey, you like Linux, trying to troubleshoot why your graphics card doesn’t work, begging companies to release a Linux version of software, trying to hunt around for hardware that supports your Linux distribution.

Literally a post from the last few hours in one of the Linux communities asking which distro to use because Pop isn’t working with their Nvidia card properly. Comments are full of different recommendations, despite Pop being one of the OSes that is set up for gaming.

Linux is a mess, and the community isn’t helpful.
