It really isn’t fun. Thanks for the kind words.

I like to think most of us (at least those of us on !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone) simply want to commiserate and get emotional support while we don’t have lovers.

I’m simply autistic, trans, and in a rural area. My “prospects” are extremely limited, and my poor social skills would inhibit me even if they weren’t.

I’m in the femcel to get hugboxed and encouraged that I’ll find someone someday if I really want to, and to do the same for others.

I can’t speak for all of us, but I actually really like boys; I think they’re cute :3

Whoa there! Please either censor that word, or add a cw spoiler.

Firstly, I actually don’t interact much with the Linux community itself. I’ve helped convince some of my online friends to switch, and I’m always available for tech support (unless I’m at work), and I’ve never RTFM’d anyone, nor do I act superior for using Linux (I am not holier than them, I merely want to save them from eternal damnation).

While I agree that Linux isn’t perfect (the fact that there’s AI code in the kernel makes my heart burn with fiery hatred), I think it’s a lot better than Windows (11; 10 was actually pretty decent). As for ease of use, that heavily depends on both the use case and the distro.

If you’re an author who only needs to write and use a browser, you can quite easily handle Ubuntu or Debian. If you’re a gamer, things can get more complicated, but Valve’s Proton has made Linux gaming so much more “it just works”.

So basically… yeah, I think Linux is better than Windows, and I’m happy to help people make the switch. When someone asks about Linux, or needs help, I get excited; I’m always happy to teach and share.

I think we’re on the same page, now.

It’s been nice discussing such things with someone who argues in good faith.

Cool username, btw :3

I lookes it up, and the quote I was thinking of was this:

“If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened.”

So yeah, sorry about getting the timing of things wrong, and thank you for correcting me.

I do still think however, that if not for Linux, it would be BSD running most servers and such.

No no, that’s the autism flag! /silly

I’m both :3

IIRC, one of the main reasons Linux is so dominant for server-usage is because it was released before BSD. If Linux had never been made, BSD would very likely have taken its place. If BSD wasn’t made either? Some other Unix-like. Maybe Solaris or Mac. If Unix was never invented, then maybe Windows would take its place.

I’m well aware that Linux is niche for home-use, but I think that’s going to change very quickly, and I should like to hasten such changes.

It’s a shame my instance has disabled downvoting.

Linux is not exclusively for anti-capitalist FOSS-lovers like myself. As you mentioned, there are multiple different corporate distros. Additionally, “The Cloud” runs on Linux: not even Microsoft uses Windows to host their services. And let’s not forget Android and Tizen!

All of that is, however, beside the point. Do you reject Wikipedia because it too is created by volunteers? Software, like knowledge, exists beyond the concept of scarcity.

If us FLOSS-lovers had our way, no one would ever have to pay for software, as it would be maintained by the community. And of course, most such projects and developers accept donations.

I hope this does not fall on deaf ears, though I understand that the concept of working to improve the lives of others (and one’s own life) without some form of direct payment is… foreign, to many people living under capitalism.
