I feel the worst examples is when you try to engage with the Linux people trying to explain why you can’t use it and they’re just in complete denial
I like Linux, but I can’t use it because I very frequently use CAD programmes like fusion 360 which run exclusively on windows. Mention that and you’ll spammed with “what about FreeCAD?” From people who either have never used freeCAD and are just grabbing the first Google result for “fusion 360 FOSS alternatives” or are in complete denial over how goddamn shit freeCAD is like I’m sorry that is not a functional alternative.
Were you online before Facebook? It was mostly nerds in the 90s and half nerds in the 2000s. You came to a car show and are upset that people are talking about cars. You’re on Wall Street asking “what’s up with all the suits?”
I never understood this either. “Why are users of an aggressively open-source service so adamant about using open-source software?” Especially when Lemmy’s been around for years, so yeah it’s cultivated a majority Linux userbase.

Oh man the FreeCAD discussion
I also use fusion and while FreeCAD has improved significantly, it’s still lacking in critical areas
The replies are always “but it’s gotten better”
Yeah, and it still pops up and error and wrests control away if you dare select a dimension tool and points/lines in the “wrong” order

Literally no one is going to tone it down.
