I might switch to Linux, gonna be hard tho when you got elitists and gatekeepers in the Linux instance
The linux community is 99% people that want to help you switch, and will go far, far beyond what's even reasonable to ask of someone in the way of help. And Linux is to the point of not needing any assistance to get installed on most hardware.
If that's your reason for not switching, it sounds like an excuse.
You are correct, it's a warm and helpful community... except for the people who like the smell of their own farts.
Lemmy is better. But reddit is lousy with ignorant twats saying bullshit like "Linux is just a superior philosophy", but who have never written a line of C or C++ in their lives. They know nothing about system design or computing history. They make claims about windows that apply equally to linux, or vice versa. They use terminology in a nonsensical context. In short, smug fools. It's not unwelcoming so much as unappealing.
The best thing about Windows is that no-one is smug about using it.
That's a stretch. I mean, look at the community you're in. You go to the subreddit and it is chock full of smug cunts.
