3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

There's absolutely zero need to mention any other OS than Windows if the article is about Windows.
I guarantee you that 2025 will not be the year of the Linux desktop, just like 2024 wasn't, and just like 2023 wasn't, just like 2022 wasn't...
Signed,
Linux users that aren't annoying and aren't driving people away from using Linux with their self-righteous smugness.
~~In this case I actually mainly meant MacOS, which has a relatively big market share.~~ Though for me personally it’s Linux, it applies to all other operating systems, with MacOS being the one large enough that people who use windows can’t ignore it. I’m not a fan of these “here’s what you need to know” titles because it doesn’t add anything, the title would be functionally the same without it. I was making fun of this by saying that I don’t need to know this and thus showing that (this part of) the title is only included to get more clicks
Maybe I'm just dumb or something, but you're really burying the lede on this MacOS angle by having your meme say "Me with linux"
