Announcement We now have a discord server ! Come join !!
Taking into consideration the hostility of loonix users as well as the fundamental limitations of the platform, I've decided to set up a discord server for r/linuxsucks101. This also would serve as a backup just incase the subreddit gets nuked or the moderators banned. If you are interested use the invite link :
You can also find the link on the sidebar. Join and rant about your linux traumas as much as your heart desires with virtually no restrictions at all !
Peace !

What’s y’all’s complaints about Linux?
I use Linux, Im not going to try and convert you or correct you, Im just curious as to what your complaints are

Windows wins! Windows NT kernel really is an engineering marvel that still puts Linux to shame in many ways
x.comA Google researcher who spent four years as a reverse engineer at Microsoft has reopened one of computing’s oldest arguments, and she thinks Linux is on the losing side.
...
Kirk’s acclaim is for the architecture under Windows, meaning how NT represents resources and decides who can access them. We are not discussing the Start menu, or Copilot or the ads in Windows. I say that because Kirk takes the argument into 2026, asking whether Linux suits AI agents that get more permissions every month, and imagines an alternate history where Microsoft shipped an “Open NT” that Amazon could fork.

$%@ Loonixtards! op literally says he doesnt want to convert into Linux. Yet loonixtards cant hold themselves.

$%@ Loonixtards! AI in OSes and how loonixtards react to them
MacOS with "30GB of Apple Intelligence" you cannot uninstall: loonixtards: it's a bold move from our unix cousin, indeed
Linux: Kim Torvalds and major distros adopting AI into their coding workflow and into the kernel itself:
it's a bold move from our great leader Kim Torvalds. (kernel panics galore ever since the AI shit)
Googlebook with Gemini that is presumably very hard to or cannot be uninstalled: yay this thing is gonna help linux compete with microslop windows and macOS! And I can install (spray) my foss (loonix semen) all over it.
Windows 11 + Copilot that you can uninstall: REEEE, MICROSLOPPP, every loonixtard and their mother saying MICROslop , (fucking annoying)
Press X to say they are a bunch of hypocrites.

$%@ Loonixtards! I miss when Loonix wasn’t mainstream cancer
I miss the old Mac vs PC era, where we all had fun joking about what was “better” back when Apple showed off the iMac G3, back when Windows 7 came out, and when people just used their computers out of the box.
But ever since Linux showed up, half of the internet decided to glaze it, even though it shouldn’t have that, I wish OEMs locked down the bootloaders, so people can STFU about Loonix

Oh no! loonix tards pretending to have friends

In r/linuxquestions, probably one of the most apt analogies I've heard for the Linux "community".

The collective low IQ of the loonix community
A loonixtard made a low IQ remark on a post I created in r/linuxsucks. He said I caused harm by bashing linux in a sub that literally has linuxsucks in the name with the slogan "Linux sucks, admit it fanboys!" I told him if a japanese restaurant sells only indian food, it is false advertisement. He should blame the restaurant, not the customer. Somehow, he is a little slow and common sense is too difficult for his tiny brain. He comeback with a few nonsensical ad hominem attacks. The funny thing is, the whole loonix community backed him. Far left activists don't seem to have a functional brain and this cancer is spreading all over the internet.

The Loonix glazer problem
These parasites are everywhere now. It is mind boggling why they exist in the first place. Loonix sucks. It is not a skill issue. It is a usability issue. These maggots have completely destroyed linuxsucks and they want to invade here too. fuck them.

Windows wins! A feature loonix users don't have easy access to: Clipboard to Image function from Advanced Paste module in PowerToys
I turned this feature on recently just to test things out and realized how much I needed it in my life!
It's such a good productivity booster and it's literally 2 toggles to turn on and then just one keyboard shortcut to set and off to the races I go!
Now I can save a clipboard image in mere seconds to any folder!
I bet loonix users don't have easy access to something like this ootb,
they'll probably argue with:
"but my custom made script that I spent 3 hours on writing does that!"
or
"who needs a gui for that, my sloppy spaghetti code command can do that, I just need to type it out! By hand!"

$%@ Loonixtards! Why are there people still promoting omarchy? In all of the drama it has 💀
What is wrong with this people??
A distro that has to do things with facism, kill treatning or having something with CP, while promoting AI garbage and more D:

Linux is Immature Tech Loonix sucks ass. Can't even handle basic mouse movement. 🤣🤣
I tried Loonix Mint because I wanted to see just how bad it was. I knew it was bad but I had an old laptop that I wanted to test it on and count how many times I would have a problem. Well, I simply booted and this error came up. Yep. That's enough testing. You can only move your mouse at snail pace. 🤣🤣🤣
Windows 11 is so much better. This nonsense doesn't exist. 🤣

Today's skill issue - reading the sub name and description
Post any genuine criticism on their sub, and it gets downvoted into oblivion and your thread's topic derailed so hard that your thread stops making any sense.
And then they have the audacity to say 101 is an echo chamber, when in fact it's the only place that's safe from the linux preachers.
I know it's a short post, but it's all I have for today.

Linux is a Cult! Bunch of performative lunatics
Every day, I think loons have finally reached rock bottom, sanity-wise. Yet every day, they somehow prove me wrong.
I hate being put in a position where I’m defending a Linux distribution, but the Omarchy moral outrage has gone too far. Went to Lemmy the other day, and reposted the thread about the Stop Omarchy campaign. Got told, verbatim:
Using someone’s software does automatically mean endorsing their politics. Because it supports them directly
Also got told:
There are only two paths:
- Outright reject anything that DHH is part of
- Support a Nazi white supremacist
And when I said that's a false choice fallacy, the response was a predictable one:
You know who else said that rejecting Nazis is a false choice?
Nazis.
Rejecting Nazis is the only choice.
Seems I'm a literal Nazi for even questioning the intensity of the moral outrage (of course).
Immediately upon reading all that, my brain exploded from the sheer stupidity of it all. By that logic, unplug your computer, throw away your phone, give up every single modern amenity and go live in a fucking forest.
- AMD and Nvidia’s bosses publicly cheered Trump’s AI agenda. Intel publicly thanked Trump and his administration following its government investment deal. There go your CPU and GPU options. Better swear off desktop computing, because by your own standard, buying their hardware means fully supporting the administration’s policies.
- Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Uber and Spotify donated to Trump’s 2025 inauguration. Tim Cook personally chipped in $1 million, too. Better give up YouTube, Google Search, Android, Windows, iOS, Spotify and anything else these companies have their hands in. Every time you use one, you’re basically cheering for Trump.
- Brendan Eich, Mozilla’s co-founder and the creator of JavaScript, donated $1,000 to support California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. Better browse with JavaScript disabled, then. Wouldn’t want your website visit contributing to its popularity and therefore “endorsing” homophobia. And forget Brave: he’s its co-founder and CEO.
- Richard Stallman has an entire report cataloguing his controversial public statements and allegations of misconduct. So I’d better not see any GNU software on your devices.
You don’t get to treat everyone else’s software choices as a political manifesto while treating your own as mere practicality. And should applying your own standards leave you unable to post these horrid takes on the internet, that’s a sacrifice I’m more than happy to see you make.
Finally, this is yet another big reason I think Linux will NEVER seriously compete on the desktop. The community is ideologically captured, too much of it filled with performative assholes who only see the world in black and white and are more interested in morally grading everyone else’s software choices than making their own software worth using.
Now please, for the love of god, stop making me defend a shitty Linux distro! It's the last time I'm posting about this subject
r/linuxsucks101 • u/Edubbs2008 • 18d ago
$%@ Loonixtards! Guys, the FOSS cultists made an entire website dedicated to listing people.
drewdevault.comThey got Louis Rossman on it too

Addicted to lying
Was browsing 101 and saw this now deleted post, and can't help but wonder - are these people clinically addicted to lying?

For starters, the fact that Linux can run 20 yr old games isn't a brag, it's like the bare minimum for gaming. You'd expect being able to run your classic games for any OS that even dares call itself half-decent.
Second, Windows had better compatibility then, and has better retro compatibility NOW. I know these people are lying because there still are plenty of retro games that will run badly on modern linux distros unless you tinker with them, whereas on Windows, for the vast majority of cases, it's just a double click away.
These loons are allergic to sanity, they can't say "yeah so things have improved over the years, I can run some old games, I can run some newer games", no, it has to be “IT RUNS EVERYTHING, BUT BETTER”. And when you actually go try it out you start hitting all of the caveats and edge cases, and end up spending more time tinkering with the OS than actually playing said games.
I'll finally end the thread on this note - everything I can do on Linux, I can also do on Windows. And only some of the things I can do in Windows can I do in Linux.
