Yeah, Lemmy has a disproportionate amount of Linux desktop users, probably because the users who don’t use Windows out of principle likely won’t use Reddit. Plus, if you hang around Linux spaces specifically… yeah, it’s all like-minded users. It makes sense you’d just see memes from that perspective.
In other spaces, I have seen so much complaining about Windows, especially since W11. I personally had to install tools to change behavior or debloat Windows right up until I left. But I think those spaces are harsher on the idea of “switching to Linux” because it gets brought up every time, but doing so would take more effort and learning than complaining does. Also many users can’t or won’t forgo Windows-only apps.
Anyways, I think there’s embellishing on both sides, and a lot of it comes from a vocal minority. I think most Linux users aren’t insufferable about it, and I think most Windows users just haven’t considered it worth it yet to migrate and relearn.
Nuclear is also a good option. It has the potential to scale up to our generation needs faster than green energy, and it can still be environmentally clean when any byproduct is handled responsibly.
Do I trust my government (USA) to enforce proper procedure and handling? Not really… but I do think we’re less likely to have a nuclear accident in the present day. Modern designs have many more fail safes. And I think it’d still be much cleaner than burning fossil fuels.
I think they need to coexist, though. I think a goal in the far-future should be a decentralized grid with renewable energy sources integrated wherever they can be.
