I have heard it is ban heavy, but it is still quite active in the memes and the Linux communities, and I enjoy both.

If you are interested, there is !linux@programming.dev and !opensource@programming.dev for linux and open source communities which are not on .ml nor .world

Thanks! I like programming.dev and will participate in those more now (however I don’t have a problem with Linux @lemmy.ml. I believe the ban heaviness of lemmy.ml is politically motivated, but that doesn’t effect Linux content much.

Until you mention that you don’t mind select proprietary packages or drivers.
