    These thumbnails are also the reason why people stay away from Linux. How is the little girl relevant to your question?

      Couldn’t possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.

        It’s understandable when it comes from niche programs with solo devs. You are likely to be a degen when you spend your whole day in front of your computer. So you likely also have degen habits like the one here. But if it’s from group of devs then yeah that’s straight up irritating.

        Also you in the sense not you. English not my main language.

          Hur durr… You have different interests… Therefore degenerate…

          Do you even realize how incredibly stupid the whole concept of tribalism is?

            My understanding of degeneracy is well defined.

            degenerate behavior, especially behavior considered sexually deviant

            Fortunately I do not have any interest on little kids so yes it is deviating from my/societal interest therefore a degen.

    You think LM being “too old” is a problem for newbies? I’ve been running some distro or other since RedHat 5. I it took me 6 weeks of waiting for Fedora to sort out most of the issues, (and I STILL have some minor ghosting issues and I ain’t no gamer), and 4 tries to get Fedora 40 to successfully take the nVidia drivers for the GTX1650 chipset in my laptop.

    You think a new wannbe convert is going to put up with that?
