@makotech222@hexbear.net made a really good thread to help people deal with windows 11. I learned from it.
A bunch of people started posting about Linux in that thread.
Sometimes a good judge of if there’s enough interest to have a community is if people are talking about it in threads where it’s off topic.
Would it help to have a Linux comm?
People aren’t posting about Linux in threads like that because we don’t have a place to talk about Linux.
We’re posting about Linux because we want you to stop selling your attention and privacy to a giant corporation for a worse product than the collectively developed one.
It was not really off topic, to be clear, seeing as mako presented it specifically as “you don’t need to install linux you can just remove the bad parts of windows”. c/libre and c/technology both are perfectly acceptable places to post about linux (see the sidebar in c/technology), and I don’t think we should quarantine linux talk to just c/libre or a new c/linux.
Some people are just terminally windows brained and refuse to even consider other options. I had someone on here awhile ago tell me saying people shouldn’t use Windows was victim blaming.
fwiw /c/linux@lemmy.ml is pretty active and (imho) reasonably moderated :)
