I'm not into programming, and I'm an LGBTQIA Ally. Just genuinely curious. Are 90% of Linux users really young white femboys with anime body pillows? Or is Lemmy just a heavily skewed demographic?

To extend your statistical research I'm a GNU/LINUX. user, i have never watched an anime, I'm white, extremely racist and a lgbtqia hater.
Itβs mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and Iβm a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.
Can't click on Windows, if have no Windows π
Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s
Most people are tech illiterate. Ask them anything but to use a pre installed system or pop in a CD that was given to them (No they can't burn one themselves) and they'll fail
With all the UI changes on every version in the last few years that simply isn't true. Windows is becoming harder and harder to use even if you know what you are doing, much less if you don't know half the computer related terminology.
How?
No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.
That is all good and fine, unless you need it to interact with hardware, which I do.
Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)
Linux is my first option, I just need to have a second (Windows). And grub also has the boot once thing, but it doesn't work with BTRFS π€·.
I don't trust btrfs. Software that relies on not breaking is b0rken in my opinion. (Unless they finally fixed that)
Yeah, it doesn't break any more. Rock solid the past few years, not a single problem.
