Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Yeah it's slow and steady, with a strong emphasis on the slow part.
I think it's still popular for newbies because it's simple and stable with a pretty familiar Windows-esque feel, which is its strength, but it's also pretty far behind in some respects. But I haven't looked at the stats for who is using what so idk.
Edit: Don't let this scare you off if you're reading this and you're thinking about trying Linux or Mint - this is inside baseball. It's fine, just give it a go.
