MattW03Is spreading.
tux0rIt is well possible (and even encouraged) to actively despise both Microsoft's enshittification of its software and the harassments by the Stockholm syndrome'd Linux community.
oh no! help me! I’m trapped on an operating system I chose that I can configure however I want and that I can leave whenever I want!
unlike Windows, the default OS on 99% of machines, that people keep using despite the constant enshitification because of 1 or 2 softwares won’t run elsewhere and are thus trapped, no Stockholm syndrom here.
that I can configure however I want
systemd disagrees.
that I can leave whenever I want!
All operating systems, except (maybe) iOS, do that.

There are (a few) distros that don’t even uses systemd and anyway you can still tinker with systemd.
And by leaving, I meant I’m not stuck (like the Stockholm syndrome of your comment implied) on linux and can actually leave to BSD or other (or even back to windows if I ever get brain damage, who knows), so basicaly I don’t know where you get your “Stockholm syndrome” from.
As opposed to the MS Stockholm syndrome going on here?
hoshikarakitaridiaIs that a thing? I don’t think I have ever heard someone defend microslop on here and you can bet it’s different for Linux.
I meant more the comment I was replying to rather than Lemmy as a whole.
It’s a bit Stockholmy to say “I know it’s completely entitling and awful but I don’t want to switch to a free alternative “
I’m kind of in the same boat though. Compatibility still breaks lots of things people don’t think about.
- music production (that’s me)
- video editing & pp
- architecture software & planning software
- legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
- various GIS software
- very specific closed source hardware
There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.
I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible.
