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.

    Not to alarm you, but you may have a period of 5-10 years where you really can’t shut up about it… it’ll pass, though, honest :)

      I switched to full-time, permanent Linux use in 2004. I didn’t even have a one-year period where I felt the need to proselytize it like a vegan.

        I find that mighty impressive! I’d blame the folly of youth for myself, but I assume you were also quite young all the way back then. It’s entirely possible that I was/am simply an idiot 🤔

            Ah well, this might explain things. See, I was 21 in 2004, still young with a head full of dreams, and a belief that I could change the world… If I found Linux now, at 40, then yes, I doubt I would have had a single year of advocacy in me!
