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).

Most the shit on this sub is stupid, but I have to admit this one gave me a chuckle, even if it is a little mischaracterizing Linux.

Edit: also, guitar hero basically already does exist on Linux (and Windows and Mac) it's called Clone Hero

Clone Hero?

Frets On Fire if I may!

Looking through this sub as a Linux fan is like looking through any other post on Lemmy as a Windows user.

Like most jokes here, this one is just very outdated. I have literally never had to compile a package myself.

I honestly can't tell if this place is a joke, it seems like literally one or two users with serious hate boners for Linux lmao. The vast, vast majority of posts are posted by OP here.

It's a joke... But okay, let's talk about Linux, I guess.

You bought a neck with the frets already on?

Amateur.

And tree is already cut down? Arch user btw

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Clearly this guy doesn't Arch Linux.

How seriously does this community hate linux? Is this a fun place or an angry place?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

I just found it, and I love that it exists. I like Linux, but the fans are insufferable on Lemmy.

Linux Bazzite.

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I would actually consider buying this as a kit. It would make for a fun project

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This sub is fantastic, thank you for your hard work

The same with people who insist it's easy to build my own gaming PC. I'm sure it's easy to build a ps5 with all the parts as well, but I DON'T WANT TO BUILD MY OWN ELECTRONICS. I don't care how easy they claim it is. Unless it comes out of the box, ready to plug in, I'm not interested. I don't have the patience to go through hours of tutorials
