Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

My (removed) comment:

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.

So: you posted a serious contribution in an unserious community, and got treated unseriously. It's not very newsworthy.

As for that community's existence, why is that even up for discussion? As a Linux user I'm happy for people to say what they like about Linux. If the jokes are funny, all the better.

I use Ubuntu btw and it doesn't suck. Well, not that much.

I don't think it's a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise

And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I'm a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn't give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little "positivity or praise" for Linux.

I mean... This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn't the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me

Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?
