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).

Only problem I've bumped into with that is that the "python" command doesn't work out of box on most newer Linux machines. It definitely doesn't take hours nor any repairs to install "python3-is-python" and get that working either (if I care).
Try using outdated tools with deprecated dependencies, and then those deprecated dependencies need old versions of libs you have the newer versions installed.
I mean I've done a thing or two but honestly the worst problem I've had in recent years is trying to get a flatpak to work in Linux mint / newest Ubuntu because something about Qt had changed.
For the most part it works, without the ads, unlike the "competition". I also get an advantage in that it's basically a native thing for me at this point, so I'm better than a lot of my co-workers at using it (which is inevitable because Linux is basically the entire Internet).
