I do use linux mint for basic stuff, bit I am a complete noob and can’t figure out how to get Altstore on it, not that it matters because it hasn’t been updated in 2 years for Linux

Its better to use a Hackintosh. I do for Sideloadly

I googled about it and I think I have found another thing to waste my day on! Can you dual-boot hackintosh with Linux mint?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Hell yes you can! Even triple boot with multiple distros or Wheendoes.

You're using apple products? There's your problem.

The software you're talking about doesn't even support Linux.

Bro, if you want to raise adoption you gotta drop the "IAmVerySmart" tone. Be kind with people, encourage them to learn. There was a time you didn't know this either.

Instead of saying "haha you use apple" why not "Oh okay great, so if you used X on Apple you'll probably find Y on Linux to be very similar"

If there’s anything Linux users are most known for on the internet it’s their holier than thou attitude towards windows users.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

That's the annoying attitude I've hated while being in the tech world. I was there back in the days of win98 vs the macintosh, and fanboys were just as annoying back then as they are now - and Linux users have always been the worst of both groups.

The world has nuance. We like Linux. There are fans of Windows and there are fans of Apple. We can show others how we like to use our computers without also demeaning them for their preferences. Above all else, we should admit that no one is stupid for using one OS over the other. I use linux for home, most of my career developing has been on Windows, and I currently develop for work on Mac. They all have their own usages.

Thanks for letting me vent that.
