It's pretty torturous to sit on Lemmy and seeing the constant Linux posts.
Are you not a Linux fan, or is it just cropping up a bit too much for you?
I've been using Linux as a daily driver for over half my life, so seeing Linux everywhere is just normal to me. I can understand how it must feel weird to someone who hasn't or doesn't want to get involved with it though.
Personally it's the degree of fanaticism around Linux here. I use Linux on most of my machines but I've seen so much weird gatekeeping and elitism around Linux here. You've gotta use Linux but don't use Ubuntu or Fedora because of what Canonical or Red Hat are doing. Oh but don't use Arch because you'll be required to tell everyone that you use it, btw. Oh, you chose a distro that uses systemd? Why do you hate the unix philosophy? It's just exhausting.
