I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn’t know we already passed 4%.
CO5MO ✨ ( @c0smokram3r@midwest.social ) 34•5 days agoThis is great! Now if we can only stop talking down to each other for using whatever distro you don’t like bc whatever 🤷🏼♀️ I’m loving using diff distros, but dang if the community’s toxicity isn’t a turn off :/
crispy_kilt ( @crispy_kilt@feddit.de ) 4•4 days agoBtw I use Debian
blindbunny ( @blindbunny@lemmy.ml ) English8•5 days agoWhenever someone brings up distro wars in just remind them we’re not using windows.
Auzy ( @Auzy@beehaw.org ) 4•4 days agoThat’s the biggest issue
There are so many people in the community who attack developers.
I had a open source project which I started, it got a lot of media attention but I gave it up because so much of the community is toxic and just made me feel unsure about developing the idea further.
And lots of other developers are the same. Even with Lemmy, people weren’t going to contribute, but they targeted the developers political beliefs.
And I see so much crap talking on Lemmy here because developers choose to use GitHub or discord. If you don’t like that, contribute to the project, but don’t try to dictate the project you have no involvement in
___ ( @___@lemm.ee ) 3•4 days agoI blame developers who use discord. The interface is a mess, the company is enshitifying, and you can’t archive the past.
It maybe easier, but I question why anyone would willingly choose it over most anything else.
Note that this is different from being a dick about it and harassing people.
CodeBlooded ( @CodeBlooded@programming.dev ) 1•3 days agoReport: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.
What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?

some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 7•5 days agoDominance?! Ha!
qjkxbmwvz ( @qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website ) 1•5 days agoYeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”
undefined ( @undefined@links.hackliberty.org ) 7•5 days agoI love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.
For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.
Auzy ( @Auzy@beehaw.org ) 3•4 days agoPeople like Theo De Raadt might have had a fairly huge impact on killing BSD.
He might have alienated a lot of people from even considering bsd.
The Linux community also had a lot of help by vendors such as Suse and Redhat who had no problems implementing good ideas which were a bit toxic, but were available in windows. Commercial venders can make a massive difference (as well as government deployments).
The big problem has been people resistant to change
undefined ( @undefined@links.hackliberty.org ) 1•3 days agoWhat was the controversy there? I’m not familiar with him.
