      Whenever someone brings up distro wars in just remind them we’re not using windows.

      That’s the biggest issue

      There are so many people in the community who attack developers.

      I had a open source project which I started, it got a lot of media attention but I gave it up because so much of the community is toxic and just made me feel unsure about developing the idea further.

      And lots of other developers are the same. Even with Lemmy, people weren’t going to contribute, but they targeted the developers political beliefs.

      And I see so much crap talking on Lemmy here because developers choose to use GitHub or discord. If you don’t like that, contribute to the project, but don’t try to dictate the project you have no involvement in

        I blame developers who use discord. The interface is a mess, the company is enshitifying, and you can’t archive the past.

        It maybe easier, but I question why anyone would willingly choose it over most anything else.

        Note that this is different from being a dick about it and harassing people.

      And the Linux / Unix-specific ecosystem & technology arguments therein.

          Because everybody knows who it’s made by (one of the biggest corps who hates freedom). Just because one brick of a building is open source doesn’t mean the entire building is great.

          Might as well promote a Chinese Linux distro and ignore the possible implications of its source.

                You responded to “macOS is UNIX” with “it’s not open source”. I’m just illustrating how these 2 things are not correlated.

                In any case, macOS is based on OpenBSD. Even the original BSD, which OpenBSD is based on, was not initially open source.

                Everything you said was a straw man.

              I think people like to say it isn’t simply because they don’t agree with Apple.

              It’s UNIX but the way it’s set up both is and isn’t aligned with UNIX conventions, and it’s definitely off base with Linux despite the ease with which Linux utilities can be ported.

                Linux is quite an oddball in the UNIX world, tbh. It’s the most popular these days, and the one I’m most familiar with, but most Linux OSs are a lot more GNU than they are UNIX.
