For knowledge and awareness about what using Linux is really like and pointing at its cultish toxic community. We also cover FOSS /FLOSS failures, and issues with GPL since it relates to Linux. Moderation is heavy handed to appeal to our target users.

Rules:

  1. FOSS (especially GPL) advocates and Linux (specifically GNU/Linux) evangelists aren't welcome (GNU Hurd will count as Linux). -We ask that you block us and we will perma-ban for violations of this rule.
  2. Try to stay on topic (that is LINUXSUCKS!). No bashing other OSs or each other. We aim for a cohesive non-toxic community with the interest of cautioning people / would be victims from Linux. At our discretion, we will remove what we consider pollution.
  3. Moderators run the sub, not the users. It's not democratic, and we don't care how you think it should be run. -Feel free to make and run your own community.
  4. "Not your Billboard" -Over-represented companies will have positive posts removed and appropriate bans may be issued. -Those companies included so far will be Valve/Steam/Proton, Google, and Brave (browser).

LOL. "I am disinterested in doing [a thing] that I don't have to do."

"Hurr hurr, ur pathetic."

Good fucking christ, this person isn't into building computers. The opinion expressed is utterly harmless and their personal preference. You are free to build all the computers you want.

Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.

Oh, yeah, anything can be super easy for people are interested in and experienced with doing that thing.

Building a computer properly is way more than "plugging parts into marked slots," and your comment is disingenuous at best. RAM timings, socket types, cooling selection, power supply selection, wire routing and dressing, version/generation conflicts, Red vs Blue, will the GPU even fit in this computer case, counterfeit parts... And this is all before the thing is plugged in.

PCPartPicker.com exists, handles all this for you with giant "you missed something" red text if something won't work, and is one of the most commonly suggested beginner tools. If someone's complaining about being told to build their own, theyve been told about that tool

People get scared of a very simple task because people like you spread nonsense that makes it sound hard
