    I feel the same way sometimes. I’m a centrist as well, a lot of the people on both sidee in this platform do have extreme takes and have the “You must agree with me or I will ban you” attitude. I wish it was a bit more diverse, whenever I come on Lemmy it is completely saturated with leftists post. I have nothing against people on the left, its just the fact that content is so obviously saturated with it.

    I don’t think tagging GNU in front of Linux is dumb, people wouldn’t care to figure out who they are and what its about if they didn’t do that. You have to give credit to both of them. I still would want GNU there, even if I don’t say it most of the time. I call it Linux mostly but sometimes I call it GNU plus Linux just to be accurate.


  • Honestly, if y’all would help your friend out with Linux they might be interested. If you just write down a note for them with the most basic commands for Debian, they would be okay.

    DE: Use GNOME

    Partiton layout: Use default /home for everything, don’t make seperate partitions for /root, /var, etc.

    Add their user(s) to the sudoers file

    CTRL+ALT+T to open the command line

    Basic commands:

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get upgrade

    Install Flatpak, and bookmark Flathub in their browser. That should be good enough and honestly anyone could figure this out.

    I think its because we aren’t allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I’ve been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don’t have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I’m too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren’t seeing a lot of content.

    Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.
