    Why is this thread getting flooded with people saying how they can’t use Linux? Isn’t that a little odd coming from a Linux community?

      Because on lemmy a post getting 100 up votes is enough to end up somewhere high on all, so your seeing people from outside of the Linux community in here.

      Because people are mad any time someone suggests they could change anything about themselves. It’s pretty sad.

      Hiya, intending to switch from Windows to Linux (it looks like I’ll finally be pulling the proverbial trigger this holiday season!) but I got here via Local sorted by Active on programming.dev. I am not subbed to Linux.

      In other words, people outside the target audience are getting exposed to this post.

      I don’t see why. You can be interested in Linux and like some aspects of it but still get annoyed at the blinkered zealots claiming that there’s no reason to use Windows.

      Lemmy is weird and this showed up on my ‘all’ page yesterday and again today. So that’s where you’re probably getting those comments (and mine!)

      But I’ve been using Linux servers long enough and switching to Linux for my workstation once i finish getting parts for a new build
