Let’s say just like for example like MacOS. It’s awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I’m asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

    You intentionally do not want people that you consider “below” you to use Linux or even be present in your communities.

    No, but I do want my communities to stay on-topic and not be derailed by Discourse™

    Who I consider beneath me is wholly unrelated to their ability to use a computer, and entirely related to their ability to engage with others in a mature fashion, especially those they disagree with.

    Most people use computers to get something done. Be it development, gaming, consuming multimedia, or just “web browsing”

    I realize most people use computers for more than web-browsing, but ask anybody who games, uses multimedia software, or develops how often they have issues with their workflow.

    (which you intentionally use to degrade people “just” doing that)

    No I don’t. Can you quote where I did so, or is it just a vibe you got when reading in the pretentious dickwad tone you seem to be projecting onto me?

    But stop trying to gatekeep people out of it

    I’m not, you’re projecting that onto me again. If you want to use Linux, use Linux. Come here and talk about how you use Linux, or ask whatever questions about Linux you want. If you don’t want to use Linux, or don’t want to to talk about Linux, take it to the appropriate community.

    If keeping communities on-topic and troll-free is “gatekeeping,” then I don’t give a fuck how you feel about it.
