@schratze Eight out of ten sysadmins can't be wrong!

@schratze no one ever mentions Plan9 ...

@schratze i use arch btw

@schratze I feel that in my soul. 🤣

@schratze

@schratze@todon.nl I don't hate it but it has frustrated me once in a while ​:blobcatcomfysmirk:​

@schratze I've now used all 3 major modern OSes enough to be convinced that the only way anyone could truly like any of them is via Stockholm Syndrome. They've all got silly quirks and annoyances that have to be overlooked in order to be useful as daily drivers.

@schratze

It is a little like healthcare. Ask people around the world how they like the healthcare system in their country and they will all complain. But then ask them if they want to trade with the US!

I have to use Windows at work and I use Linux at home. So I get a daily reminder how much better off I am at home.

@schratze
"Nooo, Linux is superior to Windows!"
"Idc, computers fucking suck lmao"

@schratze I did this, can confirm this is how it works

@schratze or use WSL and hate both! #feditips

@schratze *so you can hate linux and windows. clearly superior.

Poster's Paradox strikes yet again

@schratze You say as I’m about to repurpose an old SATA SSD for a Linux install.

@schratze fake news. on linux you don't hate the os, you just hate yourself

@schratze love Linux 'cause I can fail faster

@schratze I hate Windows. But love Linux (Mint) so much I regularly donate some money and I'm doing this with a good feeling.

While I hate Windows even more, because I pay it as a kind of "Tax" when buying new hardware that ships with this cancer of an OS...

@schratze Wiser words have never been spoken.

@schratze I did, and now I do, but to a lesser degree.

@schratze stop using computers so you can start to love again

@schratze
At that point you might as well hate computers

@schratze I normally love G/L (specially its formidable pipeable terminal toolbox). Yes, sometimes I too want to crush my computer, but it usually leads me (after random hours of madness) to learn yet one more thing I may apply elsewhere. That didn't happen on Windows.

@schratze This also applies to macOS, after you've tried out Linux.

@schratze yes but the trick is to only hate other distros (subject to change). And systemd.

@schratze I'm trapped in a constant cycle of all 3 OSs... I switch from Windows full time to Linux full time, I'm happy for a year or 2 and then start drooling over Mac OS.

Then I'm on Mac OS for like 3 or 4 years, and start yearning for the freedom and customisability of Linux again... Rinse repeat.

@schratze welcome to your neverending journey to find a distribution which sucks less

@schratze I missed the memo, I switched to Linux & love it instead. Or, if I don't love it, I don't see it, because it just lets me do my work.

@schratze Linux allows you to harness your rage into reading endless forum posts though

@schratze I generalize this approach into hating all computers.

@schratze you learn to enjoy the suffering.

@schratze What if I hate all computers

@schratze

:(){ :|:& };:

@schratze
tired: hating Windows
wired: hating computers

@schratze

Hate YOURSELF instead, in my case.

@schratze But I don't hate it lol

@schratze 🤣

@schratze Yes, except, hate it -silently-.

Bonus points if you can do it without even admitting it to yourself.

@schratze I'll see into Mint since it is close to Windows and I don't really want to learn the terminal. I tried Ubuntu and Manjaro, but I didn't like Ubuntu's interface and I would have to learn the terminal to download applications instead of just clicking on a .deb file.

@schratze Quite the same is true if you ditch MS Office for LibreOffice - or if you decide to write your PhD in LaTeX

@schratze I did this and it changed my life

@schratze problem solved!

(Without comment on any problems that may or may not have been gained)

@schratze Why switch to a Mac when you can hate your OS for free.

@schratze I feel seen here, having worked* with both.

@schratze did so long time ago
now I hate computers in general, and those running Windows a little bit extra

@schratze now go deeper. If you hate your distro, swich to other distro so you can hate other distro instead.

Now if you hate your DE, try other DEs, or go deeper with WMs.

And if you hate with GUI text editor, go deeper with Nano, or deeper with Vim, or Emacs.

If you hate systemd try something else to hate.

If you hate the mainline kernel try modded kernel to hate.

@schratze didn't work, i still hate Windows ...

@schratze There’s no need to actually *hate* any of the OS’s but plenty reason to love Linux.

@schratze Desktop VM solutions were invented so that one can install lots of different OSes and learn to hate all of them.

@schratze Seems reasonable!

@schratze
I was asking myself if I'm gonna feel the same feel here that I feel following dev profiles onTwitter

Your toot makes me feel that, thank you;

@schratze

@schratze i hate The Linux Foundation because they only develop a kernel not a fricking operating system so would we have quality Linux OS

@schratze You couldn't get me to hate my Arch workstation if you offered me a million gold doubloons.

@schratze
Or rewrite Windows, lol.

@schratze Würde ich ja machen, wenn "Sachen" unter Linux laufen würden, die (fast) ohne Murren unter Windoof laufen. ALLE Spiele z.B. etc. ohne Einschränkungen.

@schratze Can I hate both?

@schratze 😄

@schratze Being forced to work with a computer running Windows after several years being able to live with linux, I'm wondering how it is possible that employers agree to **pay** to limit their employees so much.

Windows is not ready for the desktop.

@schratze I didn't know it was possible to use the words "hate" and "linux" in one sentence! 🧐

@schratze
It doesn't work that way. To hate Linux you have to understand it. Otherwise it doesn't count))

If you don't understand it and just hate it then you're a typical "who couldn't" guy.

If you must to understand it thoroughly and hate it consciously. But...by this time, Linux is your best friend and you're OK with that.

@schratze I already hate every operating systems. Hate is different kind of love ❤️

@schratze genial 😅

@schratze @volpeon :thinking_very_hard: use multiple OSes, hate computers entirely

@schratze

@schratze over my year and a half of quarantine I decided to switch to Linux (first elementary, then manjaro, then arco) on my main computer. As I went deeper and deeper into glamming my desktop, I learned to hate computers more and more.

I’ve ended up with a basic arco install with a tiny polybar config and a background image I like, and now I only sometimes hate my computer (though I still dislike them as a whole!)

Almost no configs are the best configs for me I’ve found :>

@schratze how can you say something so controversial yet so brave

@schratze switch to macos so you can hate macos and yourself too

@schratze can confirm, i hate both and switched to macos so i can hate that too

@schratze Just have a healthy balance between both idk

@schratze I switched to Linux so I could hate myself.

@schratze Or hate operating Systems in general

@schratze windows asked me how likely it would be for me to recommend windows to friends and family, so i switched to an operating system that already knows that i would not recommend it to anyone

@schratze oh, that didn't work for me. Do I need to switch away from Linux now, just to have something to hate?

@schratze

just remember that you can hate Linux for free, whereas it costs you up-front license fees to hate those other operating systems!

@schratze@todon.nl I dual-boot so that I can hate both (and criticize Windows more for the same problem)

@schratze me everytime when I hate linux: I switch a few minutes to minutes so I can love linux again :D

@schratze i did that twenty one years ago
then my first job was on Solaris, and i didn't hate that entirely, because i didn't have to maintain it
then i switched most of my professional stuff from Linux to FreeBSD, and now i hate that instead

i think what I'm trying to say is that you should diversify your operating systems hate portfolio.

@schratze I can't complain with Linux. I used it for 3 years aprox. (Manjaro and PopOS) and haven't experienced that much problems. Now I'm trying windows 11, did a fresh install and after 2 months I'm a bit frustrated. Now it can't detect audio sources plugged after the boot.

@schratze hehe

@schratze i was trying to think of something witty as a retort then I realised it was a metaphor. LOL

@schratze then switch to BSD

@schratze Naaa... It's been a few years since I definitely switched and I still love Fedora.

@schratze mix it with some good old Nvidia card to amplify the effect

@schratze Or in my case, if you hate Windows, simply *try* to switch to Linux, so you can hate your hardware vendor instead...

@schratze we can't hate linux !

Actually you don’t even need to switch now.

Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have the Windows Subsystem for Linux which integrates a Linux distro (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.) natively on your machine and on your desktop.

@schratze Pretty sure this works with Mac OS, too.

@schratze ah, but on Linux, you can dig around in ancient mailing list entries _why_ that particular thing you hate ended up being that way

@schratze I feel like that’s not hardcore enough. If you switch to MacOS you have to buy all new hardware. With that you can hate yourself for all the money you spent AND hate the OS too.

@schratze @afb I found Linux content

@doot you boosted it, didn't you

@schratze With WSL, you can now hate both at the same time!

@schratze accurate

@schratze
Excepting for the fact I have been running Unbutu since version 6, and only had ONE problem (which took fifteen minutes to fix), and other than that, zero downtime or technical issues.
As opposed to various (work- or wife-induced) Windows issues that have cost dozens of hours of downtime.
So, no.
