    Some of those posts are decent jokes to be honest. Some are just desperate/scare tactics though.

        They’re very serious. Or a very dedicated troll. Or both.

        I got banned from that community when I said that I had no trouble playing any Steam or Heroic Launcher games. I also said I don’t play any AAA slop and especially any rootkit shit.

        If it was satire, they wouldn’t have taken offense at that.

        If you satirically make a community about the Earth being a triangle, users who actually believe it will pop up eventually.

        The owner once said they were not a meme community in a post. Empirical evidence disagrees.

        I’m not sure. Some posts legitimately seem like Linux users making fun of themselves. Others really seem like people who have an actual grudge against it.

        Ehh, it’s not like Linux is perfect. And if we want more Linux adoption it’s good to have different perspectives and be made aware of things that perhaps we haven’t thought of. It could be useful to vent about Linux through memes if we can have proper discourse and are willing to work collaboratively to solve issues.

          Why do we want more Linux adoption? I think that’s part of the problem. There is no reason to try to oversell Linux. If someone doesn’t want to use Linux and they don’t ask to about it you shouldn’t just randomly show up and say to use Linux.

            If someone is complaining about windows, or raising privacy concerns that Linux would solve, or just talking about price options, then I think it’s perfectly fair to mention Linux.

            Right now the biggest issue with Linux is that some software is not made for it. With more Linux market share, devs have a higher incentive to build software for Linux. Like imagine if videogame devs didn’t think they needed windows to work, or Mac to run adobe.

          a satirical linuxsucks would be so funny, like making fun of Linux for not having enough LLM integrations and ads
