    Really tired of “Linux user sucks” joke. We all know some obnoxious people exist and are annoying but they are small minority confined to their own space.

    On the other side, everyday I see Linux people working on their free time or for little to no pay on accessibility issues, bettering software for everyone (including windows users). I also see community members doing their best to answer, document and work with newcomer to fix their issues. I see developers burning out because they received another report insulting their work because a feature doesn’t work exactly like windows, etc…

    Maybe I’m reading too much into this, sorry if that’s the case.

      But why did that space have to be lemmy?

        I think the people who want free and opensource social media overlap with people wanting a free and opensource OS. But I don’t think everyone here uses linux and I don’t think most people that do are obnoxious.

      Yeah I was going to say something similar… I’ve only been in Linux for maybe 2 years or so, but my experience interacting with people has been nothing but positive. Everyone is very helpful.
