Why do Linux users hate each other for using different distros? There's always shit coming from mostly Red Hat and Fedora shills, Debian shills, and Arch shills. I rarely see Gnome or even Ubongo people trying to say why their system is better and how everyone else should feel like shit for not using what they do. Do even contribute for these distros or do you just shill for free? That's pretty sad man, all those distros have good and bad things, you're not special for using one and not the others.

They hate people using other OSes and hate people using other distros. Linux makes you an unhappy and unfulfilled person.
Zachary Morgan
and yet you shit on linux users for using linux, dumb non-linux user
Brandon Campbell
Don't use computers.
Logan Ross
i dont shit on anyone, im not into that. but I do recommend that people dont use retarded distros
Jordan Torres
because fedora and red hat have won the dominance in meritocracy.
other distributions started using their technology, and so a handful of autists is exploding in rage because of this.
why? because red hat pays developers to make linux better.
yes, for autists this is bad because it has made linux grow out of a hobbyist os.
now the can't larp as hackers because there is people out there now who actually know their shit and callout obvious skids.
you now see them panic on this board and post obviously false claims like red hat and fedora is proprietary or has NSA backdoors, when the software is literally Free and Open Source.
It even has proper documentation, making it less "leet"

Remember when we could have heated discussions on the internet without someone on the outside butting in with
>REEEEE SHILLS PAID JEW KEK CLUCK SHILLS how dare you have an opinion you still 2 cents deposited incel
Zachary Bennett
>>REEEEE SHILLS PAID JEW KEK CLUCK SHILLS how dare you have an opinion you still 2 cents deposited incel
But user, the only reason for anyone to have a heated discussion on the internet is exactly this.
So yes, unironically, how dare you have an opinion. Because if you have an opinion, that means you care about what other people do with their lives, which can only be because you stand to profit from it.
Shill

I use gentoo tho

Pop OS here, I dont hate you guys

mint, arch, fedora, gentoo, ubuntu, manjaro, pop_os, elementary, clear, void
are a few

you forgot LFS, Alpine Linux, Slackware, and all fsf approved distros

explain yourself

your shitting on other os users which means what your saying applies to you
Thomas Evans
No. I'm saying Linux fanboys hate on all others, this must mean they are unhappy and unsatisfied.
I'm happy and content.

stop lying?

Enjoy your shit performance

Because Jow Forums is full of retarded teenagers.
The idea of Jow Forums being about technology is laughable, the only topics in this shithole are about what's the best browser, GPU, smartphone and some useless mechanical keyboard or wrist watch.

Not me! I love using Linux, and I don't give a shit what Linux or Windows users think about that.
Hunter Roberts
Good for you, user. Keep it up. Don't turn into one of these miserable fanboy creatures.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Brody Stewart
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Jayden Lewis
Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.
You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.
Adam Phillips
Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?
If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.
Thanks for listening.

They are seithing because their distro is poorly maintained, because only 1,5 anons use it.
Xavier Evans
h-hey.. that .5 user you mentioned... hes ok r-right? he d-didnt died did he?
Austin Robinson
You're not wrong. I've contributed to Fedora variously for almost a decade. It's pretty great. I also use Arch and it's great too.
Adrian Johnson
Only a tick slower than Linux native, at-least for my usecase. I'm only using it for emacs.
Blake Johnson
We dont hate the users we hate the shills.
Nolan Kelly
Different Distros serve different purposes, therefore when someone uses a distro that doesn't suit their needs they call it "bad" and inherently anyone who doesn't work the way you do is "bad" and that is just a human thing to do.
In Windows you work one way essentially, there are slow inept people on Windows but generally the same workflow, Linux has the options for drastically different workflows in DEs and distros which makes humans reactions higher since it's so out out of their consideration.
David Anderson
A potent cocktail of literal autism and losers who build basically their entire identity and personality around their computer.
Not only do their poorly treated disabilities result in problems coping with alternative perspectives, but they are also an affront to their very being.
I wish I was joking.

Linux is a kernel, not an operating system.

See, in Chinese there is this word, "wú". It can mean "not" or "without" or "nothingness". But it can condense this whole answer: "the question itself is wrong."
