    I honestly don’t think something having a higher barrier to entry is gatekeeping. Ofcourse you shouldn’t try to make things actively more difficult but I don’t think lemmy is doing that anyways.

      I’m starting to lose the meaning of gatekeeping more and more. Its used so often and loosely

      Let’s go further! Computers should not come with an operating system installed.

        careful, there’s a lot of Linux users here. you thought you made a good point but you only just gave them erections

        better run before they tell you to start using Linux!!

            I think most people prefer their drivers and games work out of the box on a system they won’t break by accident. Linux won’t be the solution until it caters to a better class of idiot.
