Slightly worried about October 2025 doing to Linux what November 2022 did to Mastodon
Like, in the context of my Whole Thesis of "People who don't want to be in a place shouldn't be in the place," like... I rrrrreally don't relish the idea of a bunch of people suddenly and unhappily using Linux because they feel FORCED to
Like, I feel like the thing that gets people onto Linux should be Linux getting better, not Windows getting worse
That's just gonna end up with a lot of people who are now using something unfamiliar and are depressed about it

Two things that are both true and at odds with each other:
1. I don't even wanna push people towards Linux. I don't wanna push anyone towards a thing In General. The thing should pull. Things should grow by people looking at it and going "Wow that's brilliant" and Wanting It, not by every other alternative getting worse and worse.
2. It's not enough to be as good as the corpo shit. It's not even enough to be better than the corpo shit AND free. The thing has to be enormously, wildly, night-and-day-difference better than the corpo shit, AND free, AND good enough to overcome the friction of switching, AND talked about excitedly by people who aren't horrifically off-putting. The only FOSS project I know that's doing all of that is Krita, and adobe still aren't exactly hurting for cash

Tiny bit about software update at the top and then it's full steam ahead into LOOK AT THIS ART THAT PEOPLE HAVE MADE WITH THIS PROGRAM, oh and those people are in this cosy forum that you can join, you can talk to them, here are new friends who make pretty things waiting for you to make pretty things with them, oh and by the way just as a bonus the name of our software isn't complete dogshitKrita Gets It in a way that most FOSS does not
