Technically nVidia chose that fight, not Linux users.

nVidia is chocked full of proprietary implementations meant to bog down competition, for example all CUDA technology including translation layers are technically illegal to even look at without nVidia proprietary drivers.

This already described that Linux user started that fight, and they chose it.

But they cannot do anything than using the proprietary drivers, screaming about moral, propagating GNUism.

Crap is still insulting them though

No one wants their software to be called a "crap", so I will not puke out again.

personally I think gnome is really good

But many people doesn't take "personally". I wanted to write a post about this a few days ago but the op posted the meme.

"Linux users" cared about what their desktop environment looks so much.

This is my .cwmrc:

bind-key 4-s "bin/scrshot"

Well I’m still going to tell you that gnome is bad software both from the user experience and their unwillingness to implement basic features, and that you should be using helix.

I should?

I use what I want. (understand that you are advertising software here.)

I do, too. But only when I’m working on it. Otherwise, as long as stuff just works, I’m perfectly happy to keep the bonnet closed. That was quite different in my early days, I actually daily-drove linux from scratch in the early 00s, but at some point you either decide to become an OS developer, or you lose interest.

(See what technical issue I've written. See the pdf slides above.)

Side note there’s actually a project brining the glory of nix to the BSDs.

advertising. Don't care.

By calling them stupid you are actively participating in the fight yourself

Sorry :)

There are very valid reasons both for and against WMs

Whole point of Linux is allowing user choice, why get on people’s cases about what they can and can’t use

In my mind I call them "stupid" because I personally thinks desktop environments are "stupid". Sometimes this flew on the keyboard. Sorry for that.

A better word to describe those de/wm is "crap". Just my personal thought.

If you are gems in this limestone community I'd suggest you to get out of Linux instead :)

KDE is perfectly sufficient for my needs.

I'm actually praising that, since many Linux users care what desktop environment, what editor do others use. Just use what you want.

Look at the BSDs, they care about technical issues.

different distribution fights. Different display manager/desktop environment/window manager users fight.

Why can't they just left (stupid, means user that want a friendly and lagging desktop environment; ignore this word) users to use things like gnome and kde and other desktop environment, they can still use their wm for maximum productivity and performance.

This is a very stupid fight.

Look at the BSDs, OpenBSD users can laugh on FreeBSD for having to support wine, running ia32 binaries on amd64, broken at securelevel 1, having so many extension for ls(1). FreeBSD can laugh on OpenBSD for using giant lock (doesn't take advantage of multiprocessor machine), ...

These are each operating system's issue

But they don't fight for that.

If this is the case, what makes Windows so much more vulnerable?

What the hell. They are same vulnerable.

Also, these days telegram is really at the state of a pile of garbage, bloated, buggy, and shady messenger.

Every messenger is.

I doubt whether "debloating" could reduce stability or not. I've never done that and have no intention to do it for my 88 year old grandfather's windows. I'd have strict applocker rules on, though

But I don't think you are brave enough to take it up :)
