I enjoy Linux memes.
But not when the only joke they can muster being "Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]"
insert thing that hasn't happened since Windows 7 here
See the problem is, and I've experienced this myself, you leave Windows when it has a set of issues that have been long running. Then years later you get into an argument or make a meme and Windows now actually fixed that issue without you noticing because, well you're not using it anymore.
Still would like some memes other than "hurr durr, Windows bad", there's plenty of memeable content within the Linux ecosystem (like every second app for a small niche ignoring XDG_HOME and just shitting the config files all over your home directory)
I think the issue is that most Linux users aren't technically proficient enough to understand and make actual Linux memes about things like XDG_HOME, so the best they can think of is "Windows bad".
The templeOS jokes kill another piece of me everytime I read them
