    there’s a lot of Linux memes… don’t get me wrong I’ve had a chuckle at a couple Linux memes before but tbh most of the time it’s just a reference to Linux and they forget to include a joke.

      Those people are weird. I’m saying this as someone that has a Steam Deck and runs Proxmox and Opensense and 13 VMs and containers on my network, so you know I understand the value: Linux should never be prescribed to Normies. This is not the year of the Linux desktop. It might be your year of the Linux desktop, and that’s great! But to blanket prescribe it to everyone with a slight problem in Mac or Windows with the phrase “Just Use Linux!:tm:” like all of their problems will go away if you just move to a new OS is the most asinine, fanboy shit I’ve ever heard of. And it doesn’t have anything to do with “skill issues” or whatever, it’s that normal people don’t fucking care, just want shit to work

      But I get it, we’re in the fediverse, where people have a higher proclivity for open source, open protocol, open hosting, open bars, etc. But if you’re reading this and getting upset, please understand there’s a whole lot of other shit to care about, and someone’s choice of OS has as much to do with you as their sexual preferences: none at all.

        I think if somebody could benefit from it, I’m going to recommend it. Taking the attitude of “You’re a normie, so obviously you can’t appreciate Linux like I do” is condescending.
