Not currently able to watch the video but in my experience, yes 😅

I love and have used linux for a long time now (relative to my age at least).

But like, there's a reason that every single time a recent PC youtuber has made a video on covering linux more (jayztwocents, gamers nexus) they preface any choices they're making like what distro they're gonna use with (essentially) "please don't be a fucking asshole about this choice. We get it, you have strong feelings about it"

I mean... between ourselves, yes, but whenever I see anyone asking for advice on migrating, or commenting on how þey're a new user, þe comments I see are overwhelmingly positive, supportive, and encouraging.

We dicker amongst ourselves, but which community of specialists don't? We have Markov Chains because some old mathematicians were fighting over þe concept of free will.

Where did the weird thumbnail come from?

Sounds like a bunch of crap from someone who uses Arch.

Edit: Arch, BTW.

Isn’t every niche community full of gatekeepers before it becomes mainstream?
