I honestly don't think something having a higher barrier to entry is gatekeeping. Ofcourse you shouldn't try to make things actively more difficult but I don't think lemmy is doing that anyways.

I'm starting to lose the meaning of gatekeeping more and more. Its used so often and loosely

Let's go further! Computers should not come with an operating system installed.

Yes, they shouldn't, unironically

careful, there's a lot of Linux users here. you thought you made a good point but you only just gave them erections

better run before they tell you to start using Linux!!

Its too late! I already use endeavourOS! Its too good not to!

You cannot run from us, silly. Got a minute to talk about our Lord and Savior GNU/Linux? continues to elaborate

Linux is not an OS, but you GNU that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That would be a godsend. First thing I do is reinstall a clean os anyways

thats how linux would win the consumer desktop finally.

I bet more people would be happier with every day use on linux. I know I am.

I think most people prefer their drivers and games work out of the box on a system they won't break by accident. Linux won't be the solution until it caters to a better class of idiot.
