    I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).

      I think it’s mostly people viewing the “All”/“Community” feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven’t really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your “Home” feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.

      Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.

      Honestly the linux stuff doesn’t bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.

    Self hosting, at least for lemmy, is absolute trash. I have been told a few times when asking questions that, “it is expected that you are thoroughly experienced with Linux” to be able to follow the mediocre guides. And they are trash if you are a newbie.

    So people like me, who would love to use Lemmy for non Linux things, am posting almost entirely about Linux problems.

      If you never used windows before and were trying to do something complicated like self hosting on it, you would be having nothing but issues…

        Not really. There’s tutorials for everything and most of them still work 20 years later.
        vs you installed ubuntu 20 and now youre trying to follow a 16 tutorial.

      I wouldn’t expect running a publicly accessible server on the internet to be easy or a great idea for someone not familiar with the OS they’re using. Great way to learn, though.

        Yeah I’ve got a proxmox cluster and I’ve been using Linux for decades but I wouldn’t dare host something that a LOT of users are going to access. I don’t know nearly enough about netsec and I can guarantee my vlan practices probably aren’t perfect, etc.

          I have a solution for you. Just don’t have your Internet facing things on the same /24 as your home stuff. Why vlan if you can just separate them by network and switch.

          Or: just do it anyways. I learned most shit after everything broke. Not before.

    i3? Sorry I use hyprland.

    Btw. I thought it’s just a unixporn wm. But I can be very productive with hyprland.

        Sure, but come on, Unixporn people are only productive in their dotfiles.

          Meh. I did that kind of thing for maybe a year 4 years ago and then I just stopped changig it.

          Now, I’m not productive (mostly because of health reasons), but I’m certainly not busy with editing dotfiles.

      I had a problem with some software I was using a few weeks back. I googled the error and the one result was a closed GitHub issue matching it exactly.

      The sole reply just said that the poster should stop being lazy because the problem has been discussed in other issue reports.

      Except that was the very first issue created for that repository.

    I am slowly going insane with KDE Plasma freezing up every time there is even remotely something accessing my drive. Not sure if I should pin my hoped on Plasma 6 or if I should attempt to move my Arch install over to Cinnamon. Or heck just install Mint and call it a day.
