I am not going back through months worth of YouTube history to satisfy people have insinuated that I have been lying on a claim that isn't even that controversial. I mainly watch car and canal boats videos these days and don't bother with tech stuff outside of security and home lab bits and pieces.

I was trying to find videos palatable to someone that is interested and just wants to run something reliable instead of Windows. I didn't find any.

> The point we're making in this thread is that we aren't seeing the same things you are, and it's highly likely that whatever comments you're thinking about are not representative of the kinds of opinions people in tech hold.

Linux cringe is a thing that been a complaint for a while. That why people do copy-pasta of the GNU\Linux stuff, the "programmer socks" meme, "I run arch BTW" and there is the infamous dropbox post made on here back in 2008.

Most people that don't exist in online world, find all of this very weird and off putting.





Yet you still show no receipts. So, until you do, I shall remain skeptical.

You are asking for something unreasonable i.e. I go through possibly several months of YouTube history in a comment section argument to "prove" that there people in the Linux community that do weird and cringey things, which is something that they are known for.

This is after you insinuated that I lied less than two comments ago. You put remembering in scare quotes and some other dude told me I was a "clown" because I can't remember username I saw months ago.

So no. I won't be doing that for you or anyone else now.


Then your claim won't be believed. Simple as that.

Tbh, from your nickname you wouldn't agree with this person's claims either way.

(I agree with your point, tho)


You'd think that, but I'm as much a critic of the worst parts of the furry community as any outsider.

And, to practice what I preach, here's some evidence:

What you asked me to do was overly onerous for a discussion. Even if I found the links and gave you them, I will be told there isn't a problem (especially judging by the username) and I am "taking things too seriously".

There is huge amount of cringe and embarrassing behaviour in the Linux community and Tech community in general. It is well known and denying it is utterly disingenuous.
