Just to clarify, I don’t think it’s a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don’t just mean politics.

I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.

It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I’m in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be “new” to me.

I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it’s respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.

    Debian is pretty plug and play. Ubuntu tries to be idiot-proof like Windows on top of it. If like most people you don’t do your own tech support it’s a non-issue for the most part. Either way you take it to the guy who set it up if something breaks or needs changing.

    Gaming would be the exception where you still need Windows. It’s getting better but support is not universal.

    Then there is another aspect: if you can’t speak english most good sources for troubleshooting are out of your reach.

    Yeah, I could see how that would be hard.
