Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don't really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing... Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
Yeah, but I think it can feel too much like a circle jerk around here sometimes. I get that people want to win over new users, but some of it goes too far I think. The fact is Linux isn't perfect, and while no OS is, there are some critical things you can do on Windows that are still a pain in the ass on Linux. Some of that is a vendor/proprietary software problem, but a good chunk of it is just people being willing to overlook a thin layer of jank in their normal workflows.
I think we'd all be better off to all acknowledge and clean up the jank rather than try to pretend it's fine as is.
To be fair, Windows has its own jank. As someone who is forced to use Windows 11 for work, I'm much happier putting up with the minimum Linux jank I've experienced compared to the Windows jank.
If any of that made sense.
