@makotech222@hexbear.net made a really good thread to help people deal with windows 11. I learned from it.

A bunch of people started posting about Linux in that thread.

Sometimes a good judge of if there’s enough interest to have a community is if people are talking about it in threads where it’s off topic.

Would it help to have a Linux comm?

People aren't posting about Linux in threads like that because we don't have a place to talk about Linux.

We're posting about Linux because we want you to stop selling your attention and privacy to a giant corporation for a worse product than the collectively developed one.

There is a /c/libre comm which includes all the Linux GNUs + everything that is related to free software. Feel free to post there if you want there's not a lot of activity unfortunately but that can always change!

fwiw /c/linux@lemmy.ml is pretty active and (imho) reasonably moderated :)

Talking about Linux in a thread about windows 11 is not off topic

Not enough nerds here, there's probably a lot of useful shit i can post about linux since I've used it full time for many years and have tried almost every distro there is. That reminds me time to try out fedora again
