  • I had a similar issue and honestly I would just recommend worrying about it later. Don’t force it, just try it when you have some free time.

    I started off with dual boot to play with Linux and jump to windows when I need it. Then eventually to full Linux once I realized I never actually needed it to do all my work.

    I recommend Linux mint as its the most similar to windows and is built for new Linux users. I tried Ubuntu first and the experience was pretty bad, but I learned much quicker in mint and had a much better experience right away.








  • I just use reddit for basic news on specific products I’m looking forward to, and the occasional time I need to search a specific question on it.

    After trying out Lemmy, I used a script to delete mass edit/delete all my stuff in reddit, deleted the account, and never went back. I find no enjoyment in commenting on reddit anymore so it was an easy decision.

    I agree Lemmy has a long way to go, but I only see it getting better from here which is enough for me to stick with it.

    Now that you mention it though, communities do kinda feel empty. Not as in a lack of users/content, but that theres nothing in them that try to promote discussion like “weekly discussions” you would see on reddit. Its more or less entirely some random post by someone, or a news post.

    As someone who only cares about news and the discussion around that news, Lemmy satisfies me pretty well. But for people who want a more social experience (probably most people), Lemmy begins to fall apart quickly.

    Right now, I think the memes community is really the only active social one.
