I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

      As someone who considers themselves a tech enthusiast (through broad optics- I don’t work in IT or have a tech based job or even know how to code, and has admittedly never used Linux), I spent an hour today trying to install tor on my Chromebook which supports Linux and finally gave up. Unfortunately for the average user, Linux isn’t even close to user-friendly

        Tor is an application and technically doesn’t even has much to do with Linux itself, except that it also runs on it. Where you using a guide for installing and if so which one?
