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.

    “It’s easy” actually translates to “I already know this one and have an unwillingness to learn the other,” which you find out when you realize linux is actually pretty easy too, just different. Gentoo or Arch or something like that excluded, but for distros like Mint, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, etc, that actually does ring true. There is a learning curve, yes, but so too is there one when learning spanish as an english speaker, that doesn’t mean spanish is actually necessarily “harder than english” though, it’s just “harder than speaking the language I already know.” Especially when windows comes preinstalled on most PCs due to corporate contracts, and one has to seek out an alternative.

    Also “get good scrub.”
