It’s like the people complaining that in MacOS the user needs to install third-party tools (open-source ones!) to tune the GUI, and then advising each other how they use this and that tool to disable MS’ bullshit in Windows.
I haven’t seen how Lemmy responds to troubleshooting requests about Linux. But I remember some Linux Reddit communities being full of vitriol of like “don’t use things you don’t understand” or like “distro? version? Hardware specs? Logs? Did you even search?” Which I believe led to people just starting out uncomfortable with asking for help there
That could be considered (relative) dead, given how many Windows users exist compared to Linux. In more serious note, I just think that Lemmy attracts more Linux users than Windows. That’s all to it.
I think it’s not that active, right?

i find quite ironic that it’s full of troublshooting, while linux comms are primarily full of entertainment. “Windows just works out of the box” btw

All perfectly reasonable responses to bad questions that waste people’s time tbf.
