Holy shit, you are so right. I must have been sorting by something whack that put this near the top.
Fair enough, but kinda off-topic.
Tragedy of the Commons.
I think of ‘Linux’ as more general, unfiltered, anything-linux. But, maybe we should make a ‘linuxdailydriver’ or something.
Really, I think it’s a missing feature in Lemmy.
Have a meaningful separator, and allow subcommunities, where all posts are included in the larger community unless explicitly filtered out by the user. Also mods could configure that the more general one doesn’t receive posts, and you have to select a subcommunity when posting.
So, subscribe to linux and you automatically see all subcommunities (including ones created after you subscribed to linux) linux.tech, linux.support, linux.newusers, etc. …but not those you’ve filtered out.
Or, keep “linux”, the more general name, as welcoming as possible, and have “linuxusers” for chat driven by people who are familiar with it as a daily driver.
I kinda wish there was a meaningful separator in lemmy, like ‘.’, that could be used to make subforums.
Like, ‘linux’ would see everything from ‘linux.tech’, ‘linux.noobs’, etc.
Then make “Linux” the landing zone, and have links to subforums in the sidebar. Maybe even restrict posting to subforums.
People could subscribe to Linux as a whole and block specific subtopics, or subscribe only to certain subtopics.
But yeah, Mod tools would be good.
Yeah, I’d rather have this be the unfocused/general/noob/“everything linux” community, and have links in the sidebar to more focused communities that might want to filter out some noise.
Yeah… It’s socially way easier to undergo the process of
Than to undergo the process of
In a sense, making /c/linux the general landing zone for Linux, with a lot of noob and unfocused posts seems like a good idea to me, with links to more-specific Linux communities shared in the side bar as the community grows.

in a compulsive panic btw!
Lineés. Linacea. Linii.
Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it’s growing. I like that.
I’d really like to see more governmental support, but… …so it goes.
It’s a filesystem that supports all of these features (and in combination):
If that is meaningless to you, that’s fine, but it sure as hell looks good to me. You can just stick with ext3 - it’s rock solid.
Your lack of awareness is fine with me.
Or, compile gentoo from scratch as a hobby?
It’s not as bad as it seems. He just doesn’t know how valuable working with the provided structure is yet. A lot of innovative thinkers are used to questioning, bending, and tinkering with the rules. He’s just still learning how necessary the existing structure is.
Do your own research, that’s a pretty well-discussed topic, particularly as concerns ZFS.
Yes, it’s easy. BUT:
