I don’t care that much about Linux, but I did use it a bit in school. I still like seeing you guys argue about your favorite init system or whatever the hot topic is nowadays.
oh, the init system. these days, systemd is the default, although other init systems do have their vocal proponents.
This is like moaning that a Metallica concert is full of metalheads. The fediverse is built off Linux type ideology. So of course we flock here.
If you don’t like us make your own community or leave.
You just have to find communities that share your interests.
How do you go about discovering new communities? I’ve been scrolling All but the amount of communities that shows up is very limited (at least considering I blocked all the foreign language and political ones)
change your feed to “all” and then sort by “hot”
I don’t know how I forgot about the sorting options, that stills limits me to the communities that have been connected to my instance right? I saw somewhere that each instance only syncs the communities the users from that instance have followed or something of the style
I don’t really know how the federizing works

I ment naturally from within boost
I love Dwm, what about you ?
I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).
Maybe people aren’t used to curate their own feed anymore.
That’s the biggest thing. My Mastodon is very curated as is my subscribed feed. Put work in, get quality out.
How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

Happy Fediversing!
what is lemmy/kbin you meant lemmy and kbin
I’m a huge Linux geek and I rarely see Linux on my feed.
I think it’s mostly people viewing the “All”/“Community” feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven’t really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your “Home” feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.
Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.
Honestly the linux stuff doesn’t bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.
What’s I3? Is it uppercase "i"3 or lowercase "L"3?
this is the future

Your fault, bro. Just install Linux. I use Arch, BTW.
Good boy!
use linux mint of you’re coming from windows
Nah… I’m on Arch (BTW)
rocky linux supreme
My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.
Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.
Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn’t work): I forgot to add users and couldn’t log into my machine Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn’t install or update packages(there also were some missing databases) Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.
Don’t use the script. Ezpz problem solved
Agreed. I’ve been installing it manually since 2012, never had an issue I couldn’t quickly fix. I attempted to use the installer about 6 months ago and couldn’t get past the disk partitioning step because it wouldn’t allow me to do the things I needed to do, then I think it crashed.
What’s the point of installing Arch if you don’t do it manually
My favorite part of Arch is that my install from 5 years ago still works perfectly and I didn’t have to do any major version upgrade that breaks everything.
petition to rename Arch to btwOS
I use btwOS btw doesn’t roll off the tongue tho

ysk (you should know) that i use
voidlinux
I don’t get it. I am on sh.itjust.works and yes I see the odd Linux post, but not so many that it stands out. I am even on many tech subscriptions. This seems overblown.
i3? Sorry I use hyprland.
Btw. I thought it’s just a unixporn wm. But I can be very productive with hyprland.
What’s so special about hyprland? Why is it getting so much hype?
It’s near to sway but has some smooth animations, rounded corners, blur effects etc.
Yes. Mastodon is mostly about linux and cats. You’re welcomed.
@Moshpirit @ElCanut why cats, dogs are funnier :(
And the other 25% is star trek memes
Your Android phone runs Linux.
Dun dun dun.
Let’s do it right here!
Sway is a Wayland i3 implementation and you really should be using Wayland instead of X.The Sway implementation (not Wayland as some DEs seem to run really smoothly) sadly is still completely hit or miss depending on your exact hardware setup. I have two device (both even with nvidia grphics *sigh*) and one of them is just a buggy and flickering mess.
Sway devs don’t support NVIDIA graphics
No, you only should be using Wayland if you need some of it’s features. If you don’t need mixed refresh rate/mixed scaling you’re fine using X.
X’ architecture is insecure. There’s no isolation between windows, and each process can spy on your input. That’s just one example.
Wayland is necessary.Yet no known active exploits use this insecure architecture to cause actual harm. It’s just another FUD.
I’d hardly call that an exploit. There’s no protection.
I honestly am glad to see so much linux stuff
