    First of all:

    Just use this other thing instead” has never been a good faith solution

    Bullshit. That is very often an excellent solution!

    Second, the thing this post was made in response to is as follows, and I quote:

    Sometimes people just want to be able to complain about Windows or iOS without being told about Linux.

    If the obvious reply to the post is “use Linux,” as a rule, do not post that. You are not adding anything.

    I counter with this: if you [speaking generally, the same way the the original post was – not referring to @prettybunnys specifically] know the obvious reply you’re gonna get is “use Linux” and you don’t want to hear it, don’t fucking post your complaint in the first place because you [again, speaking generally] aren’t adding anything! You [still speaking generally] are not entitled to complain and then tone-police the responses you solicited! Who the fuck do you [even more speaking generally] think you are, to believe that you have the right to bother us publicly with your problems [continuing to speak generally, and that part makes it obvious because “your problems” refers to Windows problems and @prettybunnys apparently has a Tux tattoo] but we don’t have the right to ‘bother’ you with the solutions to them in response?! How is that behavior anything other than incredibly toxic and condescending?

      You must think you’re clever. Take a few days to think about what separates you (specifically) from the toxic “PC Master Race” evangelists, and maybe fornicate some greenery.
