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:

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.
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.
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.
"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).

I can easily install multiple versions of coreutils and glibc without issue.

Cool. You do that

Are you going to install multiple versions of every library?

What if it's a security fix and it's in issue in your desktop environment, etc

Coreutils and glibc aren't the only libraries on your system

Some apps might use static linking too so might need to be restarted. Other libraries might be loaded long after the app is started. If you swap libraries half way, it's not great too

What if you're copying large files half way and run out of space. That nuked my Linux mint install

Linux distros don't just copy Windows. They wouldn't put in the extra effort unless they have to.

Do you think a bunch of developers sit around and don't evaluate why they're doing things? And instead just copy from Windows? Nah mate. They do it for a reason

The cool thing about doing it this way is if boot fails, you can rollback easily too. If you're installing core components randomly, your system might only fall to boot a week later
