  • The general person is not going to deep dive into Linux because they can access the deep inner workings of the OS.

    The general person would be attracted to something like Linux Mint. Functionality and appearance similar to that of Windoze, but stable and secure.

    And to attract the largest audience initially, simply ask the question, has your computer ever forced you to reboot so it could update itself at an inconvenient time? (Knowing well that there is no convenient time). Then follow up by informing that with Linux, you choose when the updates take place.

    That and Wi-Fi printers install automatically.


  • Reddit originally grew popular because it was seen as a “wild west” of open dialogue.

    However, over time, several things changed:

    Corporate influence and monetization pressures grew.

    Centralized moderation policies became stricter.

    Algorithmic filtering now shapes much of what you see.

    Social conformity pressure increased. Popular opinions snowball via upvotes; dissent is quickly buried.

    And the reason you’re seeing a lawsuit at all…Power-user influence: Mods and long-term users in key subreddits wield significant influence, often guiding the “acceptable” narrative or limiting alternative views.

    Reddit has drifted from a free, chaotic forum toward a sanitized, mass-appeal platform, similar to traditional media.
