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.
Really? I first joined the 'verse in 2011 & I hardly ever see anyone talking about the Kernel Linux, and that’s something I would like to learn more about. There is frequently conversations about great Free Software projects, mostly from an end users perspective, including the GNU/Linux desktop OS but even the Lemmy Linux community is practically silent about the Kernel which makes up the backbone of most of our technical lives. Even mentioning Android/Linux practically gets you booed out of there.
