2 months agoI used both for a while there… But ehn, haven’t touched my Reddit account in 3 years.
Too many nazis, and besides, Reddit’s main appeal (mentioned in the thread: Reddit has a more diverse demographic as compared to only nerds here on Lemmy) doesn’t really call to me because I’m Lemmy’s demographic to a T, a Linux-loving left-wing queer nerd.
I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.
BUT
My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.
The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.
This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.
