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.
The really tech literate choose one of the BSDs. Probably FreeBSD, though OpenBSD is also out there for those with the urge to self-harm.
The really lunatic tech literate use TempleOS, though.
