    you are entitled to your opinion. it can also be stupid, wrong, and make you a total douche for having it. racists are entitled to be hateful on people based on skin color. doesn’t mean their opinions aren’t shitty and nasty and wrong.

    you did not denounce it, you exemplified it. ‘linux is superior and microsoft and apple are dumb, hehe’ you are just being like ‘acktually, i’m not like those other linux nerds, my opinions is justified!’ no, you are exactly like them, you just think your opinion makes you special and different, when it’s exactly the same as theirs.

    it’s fine. you’re a normal person. Most people think their cliche and stereotypical opinions are original and genius and not like the other, because they are theirs. every sports fan thinks they are the REAL fan too.

    it’s not holier than though, it’s indifference and annoyance to you and people liek you thinking you are so smart and special and different, when you are nothing more than a cliche. You are the equivalent of a lifted-truck dude, just with computers. You think you are so cool and awesome and unique, everyone around you thinks you are a insecure insufferable douchebag, and wonders what happened in your life to make you so insecure you have to posture so much.

      Damn, sorry I managed to hit a nerve I guess. Pretty crazy of you to compare Linux snobbery to literal racism lol.

      When did I ever imply Linux is “superior” to any other platform? You can use Windows, Mac, or Linux, and you shouldn’t need to think twice about the “rightness” of your decision any further than what it means to you. There’s nothing inherently wrong with any of those choices and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. You seem to think that because I have a general preference and fondness for Linux and a distaste for multi-billion dollar corporations, that inherently means my opinion is stupid and wrong. Which is silly, obviously, and I’m sorry for thinking I didn’t have to lay that out directly for you.

      Not once did I imply my opinion is unique compared to all the others, nor did I virtue-signal through the self-righteous “objectivity” of it. I like Linux, and you seem to have a seething hatred of its userbase which surpasses all reason and good faith. That’s okay, but it’s not okay to immediately lump me in with the annoying Linux users which seem to have made more than a large impression on you. People are not one-dimensional characters, not even the people you dislike so much. They all have their own reasons, experiences, and biases for treating things the way they do, which is why it’s not okay to judge people based on cliches/stereotypes or even cognitively assign people to them. Ironically, those are both traits of those racists you seem to hate.
