    What a weirdly specific thing to get mad about.

      i sort of get them, actually. as a nontech person who shifted to Linux out of necessity, i just wanted it to work.
      i dont have to imagine not knowing what a kernel module because i still dont, despite using it for years.

      I guess I would also be pretty sore if I didn’t have… checks notes - all my drivers baked into my kernel?

      smug senses of superiority in the FOSS community?

      amazing… no wonder linux use has only grown if you include the steam deck and closed off governmental systems

        The reason Linux only grew with the Steam Deck is because an operating system only grows if it’s preinstalled on a popular device. Average users do not install their own OS. If you were actually in tune with average users, you would know this. It has nothing to do with Linux users making jokes amongst themselves.
