I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

    For someone who doesn’t want to learn about any of this, you clearly haven’t. The personal attack was exasperation at having to explain things to you that you keep misunderstanding because you’re so dedicated to not knowing. Like, fine, it’s great that you don’t know, but now you’re literally wading into things you admit you don’t know and are making specious arguments and wrong statements and yet still think I should take anything you say on the subject with any seriousness.

    MacOS is unix, but it sure isn’t Linux, doesn’t function like Linux and is nothing like using Linux

    UNIX and Linux literally aren’t the same thing, which was the point I was making! I’m getting upset not because of projection but because you’re so uneducated about this subject that you keep saying categorically dumb fucking shit my man!

    MacOS isn’t abstracted from Linux because it isn’t fucking Linux and that difference matters, and the fact that you don’t understand that is proof of why you maybe shouldn’t be fucking talking about it.

    Finally, all OSes are abstracted. That’s called a Graphical User Interface. What even is this argument? Because it’s not all command line only, people don’t need to know how it works? Windows is also abstracted, surprise!

      Enjoy your block. You’re not interested in any sort of good faith argument. You just want to gatekeep people who really don’t give a flying fuck about what OS is used

        lmao have fun continuing to not know shit.

        I’m pretty sure it’s clear to anyone who understands how any of this works who was arguing in good faith here versus someone pulling arguments out of their ass about things they clearly don’t even understand.

        EDIT: lmao lmao lmao

        So soon, literally anyone with Amazon devices will have another Linux operating system in their hands. But nobody uses Linux or something! Or it’s too abstracted, so who cares! What a load.

          What they’re saying is that, in general, people are using Linux variants that are too abstracted for information to be useful. Android runs apks, Linux doesn’t. A firetv runs android, it runs apks, it doesn’t run a .c file without some weird help
