I haven’t seen how Lemmy responds to troubleshooting requests about Linux. But I remember some Linux Reddit communities being full of vitriol of like “don’t use things you don’t understand” or like “distro? version? Hardware specs? Logs? Did you even search?” Which I believe led to people just starting out uncomfortable with asking for help there
It’s like the people complaining that in MacOS the user needs to install third-party tools (open-source ones!) to tune the GUI, and then advising each other how they use this and that tool to disable MS’ bullshit in Windows.
i find quite ironic that it’s full of troublshooting, while linux comms are primarily full of entertainment. “Windows just works out of the box” btw
3/4 posts surrounding this one were asking for help with Linux.
Also the linux community on lemmy is big enough go have its own dedicated help/support communities.

Why are so many reddit subs so hostile? It isn’t just a problem with their Linux forums; it’s the entire site.
