Why is a MacOS related screenshot posted in a Linux community for a question about Windows?
And what’s with all the upvotes?
Probably because of “Linux is winning”. ;-)

MacOS is UNIX, Linux is UNIX, if I’m not mistaken.
Linux is software, windows is software, War Thunder is software so this comment is sponsored by war thunder
No, Linux is not UNIX. It is UNIX like. MacOS is UNIX, based on a BSD system.
Linux could be unix if someone wanted to pay to have it certified. It’s meaningless.
BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.
Hard to swallow pills: GNU is not Unix and Linux is just a kernel
Linux is unix-like.
I guess because no one is passionate about it. It’s just something people are using because it came with their computer.
Here people are almost only talking badly about it. It’s not a good product but I wonder if it’s as bad as people on Lemmy make it sound.
Still I don’t want to waste time away from Linux to discover it by myself.
Oh there are people who are very passionate about using Windows, in corporations almost exclusively. Had conversation with a system architect recently that made me go over every single reason why Windows isn’t my first choice and got more and more frustrated because if given the choice, I would always pick OpenStack over Azure.
What Windows has are dwindling enthusiast numbers.
I guess I’m not techie enough to meet these people as I’m just talking to windows end users.
There are folks who are passionate about Windows, but those folks are also highly unlikely to use something like Lemmy.
While I agree that they aren’t likely to be on Lemmy, even outside of Lemmy, I’ve never met one of them.
I just know people who don’t know there is something else.
Still it’s good for me to have to use (a debloated version) Windows at work, as it allows me to still know how to deal with it.
This is like asking “where is White Culture?”
My sibling in Christ, its called the Mainstream.
Or “Why isn’t there a straight community? Are the gays winning?”
“But when is white history month??”
Found the person reddit banned.
Windows is the safe (or was) default. If you walk into most companies, that’s what everyone has. If you buy a PC, that’s what’s installed. Using Linux or Mac is a conscious choice. That “us vs. them” feeling tends to foster community.
Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.
“thats whats installed” I remember those times, but now Microsoft is forcing you to bloat your cheaper PC with win11, otherwise it will be out of date.Thats the problem now.
It’s more than that. Linux needs community for support.
They exist, they’re just more corporate and centralized, and inundated with basic tech support questions due to the huge install base.
Like this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/windows
If you dig deep enough in there you’ll find administrators talking about powershell hacks and devops and group policy and stuff like that. There’s probably people who are “passionate” about Windows, I’d imagine, but since it’s closed source there’s only so much you can do without being literally an employee of MS. The people I’ve met like this are kind of smugly defensive about Windows because they’ve invested so much training and knowledge into its arcana, but it’s not exactly “passion”.
I do sysadmin and hate all Microsoft software from Windows to their cloud offerings.
I used to know a kid who was a hardcore Windows stan. He wasn’t terribly bright. He had a business idea for a company called “Hackers For Hire” where he would come to your house and show you how to download commercial software for free.
I recon its because nearly everyone who uses windows hates it, and with MacOS and Linux there are proud users.
Why? They just wanna be computer experts, I think. Windows users look like they don’t even care.
If you’re ditching more popular social medias for less popular open source ones, you’re probably already a Linux User.

I’m not saying all who use lemmy use linux, I’m saying most who use lemmy are probably using linux.
Customers don’t make good good communities.
Idk how many people I have met who don’t know what windows is despite using it for years. For them it is Mac and PC (pc meaning windows), anything outside of that is black magic or hacker stuff.
loolloddol
'Cause Lemmy.
Why are there no closed source communities on open source reddit?
