I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.
Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.
Debian is fantastic. You can also make use of Arch’s documentation as well. So if you get stuck you can check three fantastic repos of knowledge. And chatGPT can answer generic questions as well.
Ok, making a mental note to choose Debian then, whenever I finally do it.
