  • I have a different theory.

    When you buy a desktop or laptop 99.9% of them will come with Windows preinstalled. Unless you get an Apple product, but than its 100% macOS.

    So everyone running Linux has chosen to not go for the easy option, but spend some time and effort to install something they prefer.

    So that immediately is a filter, where people that just go for the default easy option are filtered out.

    So it makes total sense the Linux community has more people that are not afraid to choose a path they perfer instead of just doing what everyone else does, because doing something else is harder and for many people scary.

    My experience (and this is purely anecdotal) is that the hacker/cybersecuruty community is also like this and has a lot of trans people compared to the total population.





  • I don’t know how this works in the US, but where I live after a year subscription (let’s say for your internet provider or something). They can only renew per month. So if the year subscription is over you can cancel any service every month and they can’t hit you with any fees.

    Back in the day if you’d forgot to cancel your plan you’d be stuck with them for another year. It sucked!
