One day those Linux people will learn that you’ll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar
🤷🏻♂️
Based on my nearly 30 years experience of using Linux (started with veeery early versions of Slackware) and interacting with Linux users on USENET, forums etc., I doubt it.
“I was harassed and bullied for being an outsider, unique, etc so now I will reflect that same sentiment and choose further fragmentation and gatekeeping because it makes me feel better”
One day we’ll recognize how valuable cooperation and staying in your own lane actually is. It can be tough
Some people in the community do get it. It's just that the "I got bullied in high school so now I like to yell at people in webforums" people are so very loud.
Oh for sure, didn’t mean to come off like I was generalizing the whole community (of which I’m a part of)
It’s just that, even if it’s a small minority of the community, they’re still yelling and screaming in the yard where people sitting on fences are getting scared off, from my perspective that is.
Nobody wants to be around assholes
Yeah, I've been at this since my dad first showed my 10 year old self Linux in the early aughts, and I don't think it's ever going to change.
