United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Divorce her.
Kidding of course. My partner has the same atritude.
But I have gotten her to use linux. Mainly by building her a PC and telling her if she wants windows she can sort it herself.
Mean but works.
Home life is hard for tech enthusiasts. I'm tech support for the extended family and they're pretty intolerant of my tinkering with things. Normies actually get quite upset really quickly if tech doesn't immediately work the way they want. My router started having some problems that it took me a while to get to the bottom of, this messed with my Plex server availability. My wife got so frustrated with her TV shows not working when she wanted that she's pretty much sworn off Plex and wants streaming subscriptions restarted.
This is where the huge popularity of Apple and their walled garden comes from. When I got married I made clear that I'm not doing tech support for any Apple products, so she switched to Android.
I'm not brave enough to push my wife to Linux (I've only found it to be acceptable for daily use very recently myself; and even then it was painful), when the things she uses the most are MS Office and Teams. She gets triggered if she ever needs to use my Linux computer.
