Linuxsucks
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).

Yes, Fragmentation makes Linux expensive to support. -Companies frequently cite: Too many distros, divergent library versions, multiple packaging ecosystems, no stable ABI, and different kernels, drivers, and audio stacks.
Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye, and Denuvo have all publicly explained that Linux introduces Kernel-level differences, security model mismatches, higher risk of bypasses, and more complex testing requirements.
Linux users are a high‑risk, low‑revenue audience. Linux users are extremely vocal, leave negative reviews for imperfect ports, demand open source, often refuse DRM, have far lower average spend, and expect long-term support for free.
If Linux were profitable, you’d see Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk, Corel, Avid, DaVinci Resolve full version, AAA game studios, and Enterprise productivity suites. -They'd be obligated to shareholders to support Linux IF it could be shown to be profitable to do so.
