Because theyre eithet vauge, blatant lies, or not something people care about:

No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs

Most people are willing to buy new hardware, and nobody pays for a Windows key tbh. Even if they did it would be a free upgrade from 10 to 11. Also the terminology is very enterprise focused and objectively some distros (ex REHL) are paid.

Enhanced Privacy

Once again not something people strictly care about. In addition if you use Linux exactly like Windows with Chrome, Whatsapp, Discord and other non privacy respecting apps you’re not improving your privacy by much.

Good For The Planet

The implication that carbon emissions is something an individual can do something about has been objectively disproven. For any meaningful change you need societal change from the top (especially corporations and rich people).

Community & Professional Support

Online Linux forums and chats especially for new people can be extremely overwhelming. Especially when a Windows user comes in and asks why something isnt exactly like Windows. Also once again movements like this is why people dont like the Linux community.

Better User Control

Most new Linux users not only wont use them but especially in KDE software will actively be overwhelmed by the amount of options and menus. Additionally what this critically leaves out is the fact that more advanced customization requires more skill and experience the more advanced it is. There is a clear skill difference from installing a widget in KDE Plasma to compling and installing a custom kernel.

Now lets talk about the things they should have mentioned:

1. Less commercial software: adobe especially but most professional grade editing software for both video and photo does not support Linux (yes I know Davinchi resolve technically does but the Linux version is so awful you might as well not use it)
2. Linux is not Windows or MacOS: Linux does its own thing, sometimes this is good sometimes bad sometimes its highly debatable (and Linux users will debate it). Because of that if you expect to use Linux exactly like Windows you’ll get confused and frustrated.
3. Package managers: Almost every major DE has a graphical package manager frontend, this is a good thing and should be talked about.
4. Desktop Environments: Show what they look like, KDE Plasma and Gnome. It should be explained their differnces and who they’re made for.
5. Distros: Explain a few of the most common distros and who they’re made for. Debian is the most stable but gets few updates, OpenSuse tumbleweed is bleeding edge, Fedora gets updates once every few months, Arch is unstable and not reccomended for beginners, Pop_OS is great for gaming (see ProtonDB for compatibility)

I feel that way when I see people irl, get gender envy, then immediately feel ashamed and embarrassed.

On Mobile OS updates are tied to firmware updates while on PC they’re completely seperate. Its also a severe issue on Arm based Linux PCs, if they loose support or worse never had Linux support they can be nearly impossible to use.

In my school there was a kid who consistently made plans to SA other students and regularly bragged about it. The school administration not only knew but actively went out of their way to defend him.

For that use Windows 10 IOT LTSC

Because mass recommending Linux to people with absolutely no nuance whatsoever is exactly why Linux users are seen as obnoxious and annoying. Not only does the website make no attempt to properly explain Linux it doesn’t clearly outline its usecase. Its the very definition of the Linux user stereotype, blasted right in front of your face, reposted everywhere, and with a simple INSTALL LINUX and EVEYONE CAN INSTALL LINUX.

Honestly yes, this entire campaign is absolutely stupid.

Heckerlied is a bit older (by maybe a few years) but also absolutely amazing. It expresses the longing for freedom and liberation from tyranny.

Reminds me of how I sang the internationale with my friend in HS

Its sad how most people view Bella Ciao as the “funny Italian tik tok” song. Hell I once saw a large group of Zionists singing it.

Down with tyranny, down with reaction, down with subversion

Step three is throwing it into the building of a fascist gathering >:3

(For legal reasons this is a joke)

Me fr :3

Ah so does that mean the fascist pigs will fuck off?

💻 = “Ah just another laptop”

💻 + AI = “Wow! An AI enabled Microsoft Copilot+ Laptop™, I love consoooooming! Please take all of my personal information Microsoft”

Knda like AI, nobody needs it
