There aren't many people who need native. That's what you're refusing to acknowledge. You're a weird one. Live up to the tag name months ago for sure. "Jerk angry at Linux"

Look, if you'd rather have this argument by yourself I'm sure it'd be better for everybody, you just... don't have to post it here. Just open a text file somewhere and go nuts.

Most people do use native apps, even if they spend most time in a browser. The point is, again, that all browser apps work everywhere, so you're going to make your choice based on the native apps you use.

Also on how easy it is to get things running in the first place, which for most people is going to mean just running with whatever comes preinstalled in your device. This is a non-argument at best, a good reason why most normie users don't even consider migrating to Linux at worst.

Lol says the person raging in response to a factual article

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I get that trolling would be much easier if I was getting angry, but... nah, it's just kinda boring. You do you, though.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lol you spent like a hour minimum now in just this thread (not to mention the several times I saw you do the same before) angrily fighting against the idea that most people could be on Linux. It's just a dumb lie and it tells us you have a weird agenda.

So what's your excuse, then?

I'm not angry, though. I'm barely disappointed.

Except for the HDR support thing. Come on, guys. Eight years and counting.

The amount of effort I see you put into punching down at Linux speaks for itself dude

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"Punching down"? It's an operating system, man. Pretty sure your choice of a software layer to interact with your hardware doesn't count as a protected class.

Also, no effort at all. I do this to pass time. You're not super nice, but you're not that bad, either, give yourself some credit.

Your standard MO: misinterpreting something as to ignore it

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Look, I know I should ignore it outright, but what am I going to do, not respond to messages completely devoid of content in social media?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You are right. You are legally obligated to angrily lash out against the idea that Linux is a viable desktop OS. Every. Single. Time. It's. Raised.

Dude, it's in my contract right here. Doesn't say "angrily", though, just "dejectedly frustrated".
