I like that you've made !operatingsystems however, there's vast differences between *nix, bsd, windows etc. beyond the obvious that may warrant separate communities, especially until flairs are added for filtering.
perhaps in the future but from talk in the discord the admins dont want too many comunities to avoid fragmentation if operating systems ever gets too big and there is a need to seperate it more then it will be done
Makes sense!
The obvious and historically correct thing to do would be to rename it to UNIX then let every other OS fork from it, becoming their own thing! ;)
I agree with this. I'd like to see a Linux (and similar) community, but I have no interest in Windows so I'll probably avoid a generic OS community.
Isn't there already a big Linux community on lemmy.ml? Or do we want a specific beehaw community for that?
