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).

An image viewer or RSS feed reader comes with its own internal video player or web browser.
-All of the sudden my keyboard controls are either changed or are gone when the video / web browser opens taking with them features like being able to download the video or do things like easily OCR on the web page. -This in addition to the internals being bloat.
I'd rather have applications that can be setup to send images to a photo-editor, open videos in MPV, etc.
I don't touch ring 0 though, but this is how I understand it. -I also think that if all the main distros are using System D, it must be because it's good (or at least the best they've got).
