        No, that’s not how citations work. If you make a claim, YOU have to be the one to provide a direct link to your source. Saying “just use a search engine” is lazy and misleading, and it could lead to someone finding an entirely different article/post than the specific one that you’re referencing.

          You have the internet at your fingertips. -It’s right there accessible in seconds, but LiGNUts prefer wasting time bickering over stupid crap (like you’re doing) instead of acknowledging that what I wrote was factual and easily verifiable at the source given. -It’s why a large population is turning against you and why your community is accurately labeled toxic.

            If you had ever taken any higher education courses, this is the first thing that you would’ve learned, how to research and cite your sources. So I can tell that you are either an uneducated idiot who’s overly confident, or everything went over your head like a buffoon. In either case, you’re a shallow person with a feeble mind.

            Did I ever say I use or even LIKE Linux??? No!! You’re a fucking idiot who’s projecting your views onto someone completely detached from this situation. Also, you DIDNT give a fucking source, that’s the point, anyone can search that phrase sure, but search engines are not always going to show the same results for different people, it may end up showing me things that are completely unrelated.

                the character of the GNU/GPL cult

                Sorry that Linux advocates are so allergic to search engines.

                but LiGNUts prefer wasting time bickering over stupid crap

                OK then.

                This is what I mean man lmfao just look at them, ANYTHING to avoid saying the correct objective answer of “No, they don’t”, for that would result in them having to agree with you on something which they simply refuse to do and would rather think up any possible alternative reply to avoid doing no matter how ridiculous it looks

                I dunno how you can attempt to debate seriously with them for as long as you have when you see them acting like this 24/7

                  how you can attempt to debate seriously

                  Learn to quit. There comes a point where you’ve obviously won and the people that can’t see that aren’t the people you can reach anyway.

            Mind you I believe you, plenty of members of the Linux community activity try to show usage to encourage development. Though how much is it actually skews is debatable because FOSS software also tends to collect less data and be used by people actively avoid data collection as well.

            Though no idea about the rest, you kind sound like you have sour grapes tbh

                This was the main type of criticism for Linuxsucks101 on Reddit when it started, and now it’s poppin’. We’ve had to re-launch here so of course it’s slow to the get go.

                The criticism is a pathetic attempt to marginalize. The other attitude is ‘no open discussion / debate’ -but as you see here, that’s not really what they do.

          That post doesn’t even mention Steam at all lol, has nothing to do with Steam survey’s Linux measurement

          So weird that there’s a community specifically for hating Linux

            Every fucking weird claim you make about Linux is so stupid/false it’s not worth the effort to disprove. All you are is an idiotic troll with nothing better to do than shill for corporations. I guess you left your safe space where you control the narrative because you banned everyone from countering your beyond-stupid lies there.
