But its not the same person preaching about it everywhere now is it? If you think you’re seeing it everywhere, it’s because this is a community built and run by Linux enthusiasts, so naturally you’ll see a lot of people talking about Linux here.
This post isn’t talking about Linux whatsoever.
No, but OP was talking an alternative solution, which of course, was tongue-in-cheek, but apparently it triggered the parent poster in a PTSD sort of manner.
It’s not the same religious nut preaching about it everywhere, either, doesn’t make it any less annoying. It also doesn’t make it any less annoying to be preached everyday even if you live in a community based around the religion.
It’s also not about people talking about Linux. As a subscriber to Linux memes and Linux gaming communities, I have no issue with people talking about Linux. It’s when they are plugging Linux in an article that has nothing to do with it, especially in a community that is very aware about the existence of Linux, that it simply becomes a circlejerk and an attention seeking behaviour, instead of providing actually useful response to the post.
Everyone here knows Linux is an alternative to Windows, we don’t need the crazy Linux fanboys reminding us by posting stupid jokes about it on non-Linux posts.
If someone needed to be told to know Linux is an alternative to Windows, they definitely can’t do anything with a link showing 25 Linux distros with no guidance on how to choose and what the differences are between distros. That in itself shows that his comment had no actual point than to continue the Linux circlejerk amongst a community that you yourself claim is made by Linux enthusiast. I’m not sure why you’re grasping at straws trying to defend a comment that reinforces a circlejerk. Do you want Lemmy to start acting like Reddit?
But if you think that this is a wider systemic problem which needs to be addressed, then make a meta post and complain to the mods about it. Because simply whinging about it here is not going to help anyone.
I don’t agree this needs any mod action. It’s not a widespread enough issue, nor is it a horrible enough to warrant forcefully removing it. People can make those comments, they just need to know the damage they are doing to Linux desktop adoption by perpetuating the circlejerk and putting people off the Linux community.

Or maybe people think tuxangelicalists are annoying
I hope the tuxangelicalists also don’t complain about the lack of Linux desktop marketshare since they constantly remind us of why it’s so unpleasant to ask for help with Linux issues with all the elitism going around.

Ohhhhh silly me, I must’ve missed the part of sign up process where it said 'you must tolerate linux fans no matter how annoying they are '.
