Seems like this is a constant spam on Lemmy and it’s starting to drive me away from the platform. So much Linux spam.
Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs

Itt: Use Linux Spam. This is not feasible for most users. Not all applicatopns are posted to Linux and some explicitly do not work. In particular for people that play games socially this just does not work. That being said they are unaffected by this change.

The Linux proselytizing combined with the rabid impractical political hive mind have combined to slowly take my usage of Lemmy from “increasing and replacing Reddit time” to “flattened out, going back to Reddit a bit” and now it’s moving solidly into the territory of “definitely using and visiting Lemmy less, spending more time back on Reddit”.
This platform has so much potential, but the community sucks. Which is saying something, given that the chief comparison is the reddit community.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to make something that filtered out all posts/comments containing the word “Linux”
BURN@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Exclusively Voyager for Lemmy. I’m also not really interested in making custom tools.
There’s also the problem of that filtering out half of the active content on the platform.

You just described this entire site.

I’d suggest Arch Linux, btw. 😜
Just kidding, Debian.

I’ve been trying to switch to linux on my daily driver for years, and every time I come to a critical issue, I can’t find useful help for it anywhere on the web and I give up and try again next year.
And this isn’t a skill issue, I’m a 30 year greybeard IT vet that has administered to linux servers since the late 90s. Linux is simply not ready for daily use by your average computer user, and that’s mainly the fault of its fucktastically fragmented environment designed by insular egotists.
And don’t even get me fucking started on the elitism of people who actually respond to help requests with instructions to read several hundred pages of documents before they’ll even tell you what’s wrong with your question.

What average users would need to convert is access to sympathetic and patient support… what they get is obtuse gatekeepers. People who on the one hand think that everyone should use Linux but on the other hand insist that using it means that you’re hyper intelligent, and by extension requires you to be.
mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Exactly this, but their argument fails because even hyper intelligent people get shit on by the linux community.
They don’t want new adherents, they want people to recognize their decades of reeking basement skillz.
