    I’m seeing some ‘how do I backup to move to linux’ and a lot of ‘this broke’ and ‘how do I fix this’!🤣

      I mean, that’s kind of good for them. Not having a creative community that has content to post about means they are just using the OS. The OS is out of the way. I’m guessing the level of comments that Linux gets are more likely to happen on niche forums like powershell or autohotkey or whatever. I dunno, I love my Linux, but do wish it were a little more normal and boring sometimes.

        In my experience, usually using Gnome as a DE, every Linux distro is just install, configure to my taste, and use without having to think about my OS ever again (unless I get bored and start changing stuff just because I can, or go in one of my distro-hop fevers). So, I genuinely don’t get what you’re saying, unless you’re being sarcastic, then suddenly it does make sense.

          I’m saying Linux has a community that likes to talk about tweaking their systems, trying new things, discussing software, discussing distros, etc; Windows does not have users that do that for various reasons. It’s not shade on Linux at all, but to say that they don’t have a community talking about something as mundane as an OS is probably fine for them. I am glad we have the community and user engagement we have surrounding Linux.
