It was the next sentence after the list of distros referenced in the response to you, and it is still very misleading at best.

But, yeah, the second sentence. There's a huge difference between an HTPC and an Amazon stick, Roku, or "smart" TV.

Those have apps and must be supported by "platforms" because they are limited hardware with a limited OS.

YouTube and Netflix don't need to "support" Linux any more than they need to support Windows for an HTPC.

If that's not what you're saying, you'll probably want to elaborate because I expect there are plenty of readers giving your comment a "wha...?"

"E" - since Buddy is trying to imply I changed my comment after he responded, no. I added clarity within a couple minutes, changing no ideas. Talk about gaslighting with this guy.

1. That's not what I said.
2. That would not be the next sentence. Try again.

I'm... lying?

No, it's pretty clear now that you're quite confused about the difference between apps and services.

And they do support Windows.

Oh god, tell me you're not using the windows store apps for these services on a PC. Even my Alpha kids know better than that.

Seriously, how can someone be even a little familiar with Linux and be so wrong about internet services working on Linux?

And your attitude is just... something else.

It was the next sentence

You're just lying. And I don't know why because everyone can see it. You're not fooling anyone and you're not accomplishing anything.

There's a huge difference between an HTPC and an Amazon stick, Roku, or "smart" TV.

Yes there is, in that a PC is much more versatile. But streaming services are a basic function of HTPC.

YouTube and Netflix don't need to "support" Linux any more than they need to support Windows for an HTPC.

Yes...they do? And they do support Windows.

E: the comment above was edited and they continued to double down and argue instead of just admitting that they made a mistake.

I'm... lying? No, it's pretty clear now that you're quite confused about the difference between apps and services.

Your lying has nothing to do with apps and services and everything to do with gaslighting people in this thread into believing you weren't wrong instead of just admitting you made a dumb mistake.

Seriously, how can someone be even a little familiar with Linux and be so wrong about internet services working on Linux?

That's a great question, how can you?

And your attitude is just... something else.

Sorry I don't take being gaslit very well.

Jesus, Buddy. It's not gaslighting to explain how I interpreted your comment, and it's starting to sound like your angry responses are to avoid explaining your position.

Please explain to the class exactly what you mean by services not supporting Linux. No "obviously you know and are just pretending to make me look bad" stuff.

Explain like we're 5.

It's not gaslighting to explain how I interpreted your comment

Oh good now you're gaslighting me about gaslighting.

and it's starting to sound like your angry responses are to avoid explaining your position.

I'm not angry, and I've already explained my position.

Please explain

In the extremely unlikely case that you're legitimately just bad at counting, I advise you to scroll up and try again. If you cannot do that then I literally cannot help you. Restating my explanation will not help you.

We're done here.

Ok, not angry. Tossing constant accusations of lying and gaslighting rather than answering.

Your position was "Linux not supported by platforms". You never explained what that means and no one understood you, clearly.

Almost like... gaslighting to say that you explained your position already.
