I’m here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That’s frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

          Acceptable excuse. I am all in with Linux except that one program that uses .net and I can not get wine to work.

          So the laptop with win11 comes out every month or so. After the 3-4 hours of updates and 2-3 reboots, it’s up and running for the 30minute task I have.

      You don’t have to use Linux… But, the side effects of using Lemmy might include switching to Linux and self hosting.

          #ME2

          I mean, I didn’t when I joined Lemmy, but I do now.

          I don’t think Lemmy was the deciding factor, Microsoft almost forced me by checking how much they can enshitificate win11 before users start exploding.

        It’s not strictly necessary to run Linux, there’s also the BSDs, PonyOS, 9front, etc.

      In case you’re serious, Lemmy is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of reddit and Linux is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of using your computer. The motivation for using either are quite similar.
