Why is this thread getting flooded with people saying how they can't use Linux? Isn't that a little odd coming from a Linux community?

Because on lemmy a post getting 100 up votes is enough to end up somewhere high on all, so your seeing people from outside of the Linux community in here.

That's why I'm here, front page.

I would say "people don't see the community a post is in before commenting?" But of course they don't. :'(

Hiya, intending to switch from Windows to Linux (it looks like I'll finally be pulling the proverbial trigger this holiday season!) but I got here via Local sorted by Active on programming.dev. I am not subbed to Linux.

In other words, people outside the target audience are getting exposed to this post.

Because people are mad any time someone suggests they could change anything about themselves. It's pretty sad.

But this is a Linux community

Lemmy is still a small place with a lot of Linux users, so this likely shows up in several people's /all

I understand. I agree with you. Just commenting on how personally people take things and how stubborn they are
