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.

    Gentoo, you never half to look at a terminal in that distro. Just white text scrolling on a black backdrop for infinity! The people who like to sit through the end credits of a movie would be ecstatic.

      Gentoo is great for two things: Firstly, learning about all the parts that go into a Linux system and how they interact. Secondly, typing emerge world into a shell and feeling like a god raising the continents from the ocean.

        I love Gentoo but I just can’t live with the compile times. Gentoo does a good job of letting you know how little you know about Linux and how deep the rabbit hole can get.

        Gentoo is great if you know how you want things to work and know Linux well enough to make it happen. Gentoo gives you flexibility, transparency and great tooling to help you get there.
