I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.

Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.

    I’d been planning on switching my laptop over to Linux in 2025 with the end-of-service of Windows 10, but with the amount of obnoxious ad notifications I’m already getting on Windows these past few months, I just might push the switch to be by the end of this year.

    This is one of the differences between Linux and Windows (and MacOS). Linux doesn’t go out of its way to constantly remind you that you’re running Linux.

    So anyways, how’s your experience with using Linux been? Let me live vicariously through you!

    I have been using Linux for around a decade although I’m no expert. There are people here who definitely know their Linux more than me. For me, I switched over to Linux because of the fiasco with Windows 8 not having a start menu.

    I would say if you want to switch over to Linux, you shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the many distros and should distinguish between a distro and a desktop environment (DE). Pick something based on Ubuntu or Debian because that’s what guides are tailored towards.

      Yeesh, has it really been that long since Windows 8? I guess it feels newer to me since I skipped that version of Windows entirely.

      Way ahead of you. :-)
