He has probably seen countless people starting to use linux and is pissed by the percieved popularity.
Nah, it's just annoying seeing it in SO many conversations. It doesn't add anything to the conversation, it's just some weird bragging.
btw did you know I use Linux :p
Woah! That's so cool dude! How are the Bluetooth and Nvidia drivers on that... ;)
If I see a post of weird bragging that I don't care about I personally don't feel the need to reply to them to let them know that I don't care. I just keep scrolling.
If the weird bragging was happening enough to annoy me then I would down vote and keep scrolling.
Do you want a medal? Do you feel special?
/S
I'm on a instance that doesn't allow down votes
I wasn't, I was just responding to the previous person as to why it's annoying
You're probably better off
No, not really?
In this case it's a response to a pretty obnoxious comment. You could argue that the comment op is acting like an apple fan, ms fan or any kind of thing fan that enters a conversation.
It can't be answered in this context, cause there is no context in the post.
What do you mean superior complex? I am superior
Superior complex? I find it quite simple
Yeah, I've actually been looking into trying Linux as my entire personality as well
Seems like they get allllllll the babes, amirite?
👈🏻😎👉🏻
wdym? or rather what are you referring to? (sry am a bit dense sometimes)
like as long as you are not the "basement-dwelling (arch) elitist" stereotype, advocating for free/libre software is pretty cool imo
(also did you just say Linux when referring to desktop? insert "actually what are you referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux" copypasta here /j)
I'm a bit dense as well, so you're among friends (not sure I fully get ur reply, tbh)
I was mostly piggybacking on your popular comment to poke fun at people that seem to take their choice of OS a bit too seriously. That "as well" at the end feels odd; it was meant more like the "too" at the end of "and I probably would've got away with it too."
now I get what you mean lol
tho I still think that being passionate about the things you care about (be that technical or social justice) is something wonderful. As long as you don't go down the path of elitism
I had someone tell me that I was doing exactly that this weekend when I wrote a forum post and feedback submit to the company I buy my keycaps from for a 1.5u Tux or Logo key option rather than the windows 10 logo they currently offer.
I figure they'll offer at least their logo as that'd sell really well (glorious, look em up for why), but having someone reply that I needed to not make Linux my whole life was weird
Not sure it's cope as much as being unable to accept that their attempted put down is having no effect. Bully is in their own head about their inability to get under someone's skin.
A raging douche.
You basically explained that it is coping?
cope /kōp/
intransitive verb
To contend or strive, especially on even terms or with success.
"coping with child-rearing and a full-time job."
To contend with difficulties and act to overcome them.
To form a cope or arch; to bend or arch; to bow.
As a foreigner it’s really jarring seeing this verb adopting a new meaning of “failing to cope”. I’ve seen it many times, it’s definitely not you and not new, but it does make the English language just a tad more inaccessible.
it's mostly just internet lingo. English is not my native language either and I sometimes have the opposite problem: I know/use the internet definition/meaning but not the "official" one lol
Urban Dictionary is your friend in such cases, that's where I usually go for stuff like this
Oh shit you gottem
Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying "I use Arch btw" is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the "Linux user" commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.
I use(d) Arch, btw.
Made sense after watching the video the comment was made on(if it really is the right video)
I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting "No thanks, I'm a vegan" on it. Then why did you open this video?!
I don't use Arch btw.
My school wifi is blocking this instance :(
Here's the post image!

It's my own post, but thanks!
fuck
If it makes you feel any better, same username but different instance, so you didn't get any of the UI (web or app) flags to show you they were OP. I woulda totally made the same mistake.
I-it's not like I CARE you use a geeky operating system. Dummy.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I don’t need to feel superior I already know I am
Ohhhh I am sooo impressed! Have you also downloaded the classified instruction manual for Linux from Linus Torvald's website, took a correspondence course in machine code, translated the manual, memorized it, and eaten it? Have you Danfg7215? Torvald?
