My favorite part of the linux experience is the FREEDOM, but also being talked down to for not using my freedom correctly, I should only do things a specific way or I might as well just use windows.

I found it easy to transition to as a new linux user. I’m curious what you think makes it too different.

Oh boy, this is gonna be floating around for a long time.

The founder did an interview on Gardiner Bryant’s youtube channel either yesterday or the day before where he clarified that statement. The short version is not to worry about that possibility any time soon.

Speech to text is my guess. You one to = Ubuntu?

I’ve had a little weirdness from my 8bitdo “xbox” controller, but I think that might be more due to dual booting and using the controller on both OSes rather than an issue with linux itself.

But once I get it connected, it works perfectly.

So a shit ton of tabs that never get looked at again? I swear all of you secretly want your tabs to disappear so you have something to complain about.

And is comprised entirely of no one I care to follow, awesome.

What hashtags do you follow? Most things I try to look up end up having a majority of the posts in Japanese or German.

I’ve tried to stick with mastodon for a while and after using it for months, your description of checking it out is STILL what my feeds look like. That’s all there seems to be on Mastodon.

If all Mastodon wants is linux shit then only linux people are gonna stick around. Never mind that I get the exact same linux posts on bluesky from the same people on top of other topics I care to follow.

Mastodon would be fine if all I cared to follow was Linux news and if I understood German and Japanese.

That’s exact opposite of my experience with it.

I don’t understand why so many people take the existence of linuxsucks communities so personally, the reddit version has more linux users defending it than actual hate, but that one was more meant as a “legitimate grievances against linux” community as opposed to what the lemmy version seems to be.

Just block and ignore like anything else. Its okay if there are people that don’t like the thing you like.

Something I did that helped make the jump was buying a separate drive to put linux on and removing my windows drive. It makes the act of switching back to windows take more effort, but didn’t remove the possibility altogether.

I also got an enclosure for my M.2 and can use the windows drive as a super fast thumb drive and use that to transfer the files from the windows drive that I care to keep on linux. (none of it is critical, not worth doing proper back ups)

Because no one is on it. I don’t do twitter/facebook-like social media to interact exclusively with random people. I have no family or friends on Mastodon and couldn’t tell you if any “content creators,” for the lack of a better term, that I follow elsewhere are on it to follow.

I played the shit out of a for a while, something clicked and I loved it.

That changes nothing for the user, most of us aren’t gonna write out own driver or convince a company to support something they have no interest in.

Tom Servo?

Why use the words if you’re just gonna censor them?
