If I could just go one day on Lemmy without hearing about Linux… nothing has turned me off Linux more than you guys not shutting up about it.

    People who use windows or Mac for anything but development do so for the same reasons as you, they are locked into some features. For example, at home I need a local music library manager with local sync to my phone music app and smart playlists. Mac is still the only platform with this. At work I need MS exchange integration and all the features of native office. Even the Mac version isn't good enough for my workflow. My only hope would be to turn to emulators or something like that, but at that point I'm not really running Linux anyway. I'm just running something else in a container inside Linux.

    Problem is that once Delta gets away with it, they'll all start doing it.

    God damn I love it I've been messing with Linux for 20 years now and there are some patterns that never seem to change. In almost every thread about Linux there will always be: 1 person bragging about 'Using Arch" btw 1 or 2 people saying this will be "The Year of the Linux Desktop" 2 or 3 people joking about it being "The Year of the Linux Desktop" 10 - 15 people explaining why it wont be or shouldn't ever be "The Year of the Linux Desktop" 3 or 4 people complaining about how rude the Linux community is. 10-20 people saying that isn't their experience and/or they always try to help people when they can. 1 or 2 people actually being rude (who are usually downvoted). 2 or 3 people saying how Windows/Mac OS is better in certain ways. 4 or 5 people complaining about one specific thing that doesn't quite work for them in Linux, or one specific Windows only program they must use for work. 8- 10 people giving them suggestions about how to solve their issue or work around it. Personally I love the Linux community. The people are mostly great, friendly, able to think outside the box, and willing to help others. I try to emulate that whenever possible. Sure you are going to get rude people in every scene, I just ignore them.

    That depends entirely on your usecase.
