Why do some Linux users have a superiority complex?
No OS is “better” than another, it’s up to personal preference. Stop acting like Linux is the “one true OS” and let all OSes coexist instead of throwing a fit whenever someone uses something other than Linux. :steamfacepalm:

(Before you come to rage, notice the fact that I put “some” in the title. I’m not stereotyping all Linux users to be like this, a lot you are pretty nice and chill)

but yah i noticed that there's ppl that hold it up like a flag that they are a linux user, but the same applies to some mac users (not in gaming context but overall)

i guess it's them thinking they are some sort of special user or so and they do it better

I am linux user and i know how explain this. Is it because, the linux, some distros, is hard to use and tou need undestand de terminal language, the Bash language for do somethings on the system. And because this we had this superiority complex, i know is stupied.
Other thing and had guys make a new system on your distro and ♥♥♥♥ off, change all using programming.

I mean, Windows is objectively garbage and basically spyware. And Mac, well. Cool if you edit video or make music. Otherwise... Overpriced and dumb.

And security part, the linux is more safe than windows and mac, by any things.

because as a linux user i am better than other people for no reason

Because we are superior.
If you had a superiority complex would you use the most common OS or the least common one?

Why do someone assembling an Ikea furniture have a superiority complex compared to someone who just get it delivered and assembled by professionals ?

Because one did more work to obtain what he wanted and feel proud of his skills. It's as simple as that.

There is no evidence of this whatsoever. Microsoft and Apple both have enterprise-grade top security features that they apply throughout their ecosystems.

As a matter of fact, to run many Linux distributions you have to disable security features such as Secure Boot.

How many Linux distributions have Core Isolation, which has been part of Windows for years now? How many Linux distributions have firewall enabled? How many Linux distributions have the basic security features like antimalware protection? How many Linux distributions have firmware protection, memory access protection, and how many automatically block vulnerable drivers from being run?

Almost none. All features that Windows has had for years...

That said, Linux can be made as secure (or even more secure) as Windows or Mac, it all boils down to how you set it up. ChromeOS for example is very secure but that's because it comes with several enterprise-grade security features from Google.

Linux actually isn't that secure out of the box, it comes with very few security features. The sense of security under Linux is based on security through obscurity and frankly it doesn't work, it has been debunked decades ago.

If Linux becomes more popular, the userbase is absolutely screwed unless they start to take security seriously and implement actual features, instead of going with this security through obscurity approach that is absolutely delusional.

Now why would a corporate shill be on a Steam forum? Who’s to say you’re not a corporate shill promoting OS wars and OS superiority?
