Like, I get it - there are people in both communities that might be pushy in one way or another. But, like, come on. One of them is a way of life that strives towards excluding as much pain and suffering in the world of innocent beings as possible and the other is a fucking OS. Grinds my gears.

Any thoughts?

Edit: What I meant specifically is the “pushiness” and “preachiness” that’s attributed to both. Not sure if this is just my bias from observing comments about the recent discourse around the whole vegan cat food debacle, but yea

    Being against gassing animals to death and being for finding better ways to express that opinion with software aren’t exclusive to each other. Arch Linux is a community around a tool and veganism is a philosophy of how to use our tools. No need to hate on either or to keep them separate. Veganism is grim, but it is not a funeral.
