Just switch over, if you like! I want you to feel comfortable with the decision and feel motivated to give it a good shot.
If it's not for you, I understand. Maybe in a few years it'll be a better fit but it's no rush.
Careful, comments like they might get you banned from Lemmy.
It's a dumb reason to get banned from an instance. I don't see anything wrong with making an observation other programmers have already made. Thanks for the warning though.
It was a joke about how fanatical people are about Linux on Lemmy.
I know, I'm one of them😆🤙. I try not to be annoying though, hope you didn't take it wrong. Edit: sorry, though this was a comment on my response to someone being weird about rust.
If anyone truly cares about the community and want people to switch. They need to be understanding and willing to accept the fact some people have good reasons not to switch. Being pushy or insulting isn't going to win them back and will most likely sour their perception of linux.
I remember how much hate I got for using an Nvidia graphics card on linux. I also remember helping other people get Linux running on their graphics cards. There were so many toxic individuals that would scold new users for "supporting Nvidia, that evil company" despite the fact most people switching from windows probably already owned that Nvidia card.
There were also others that long since given up because of all the hate they received. I want that to be uncommon and thankfully it seems to be more the case nowadays.
