Because there is choice. There is very little choice on Windows or Mac, so there's not really anything to argue about 😅 Champagne problems, if ya ask me.

Because people have conversations and then clickbait youtubers overexaggerate it.

Most of the conspiracy theorists (and similar personality types) gravitate to Linux.

There is drama in everything. I don't think GNU/Linux is any different. I don't really care about what distro other people use tbh, I can joke about it but never seriously argue for which distro, text editor, programming language, etc. is the best. I just like that I can choose and get just what I want.

It really doesn't. I highly doubt there isn't office politics going on inside Microsoft, Apple and Google, but unlike them, Linux development is all public. If anything, that's likely to curtail a lot of bad behavior rather than encourage it.

It's sane to have drama. It means we have humans doing the job and power dynamics being discussed. If there's no drama, it means some people got shut down.

It doesn't really, not compared to what goes on in the office. What little there is, is in public and often exaggerated by commentators.

Thats the Point of having an Open Source OS where everyone can have a voice. So you can talk about something if its a pile of dogshit.

Is the next video going to be „Why is there so much drama in the bundestag“?

can someone summarize the video?

Because there are a lot of people with different goals that conflict with each other? Which is true in lots and lots of other things.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
