• have gotten so used to just chopping the stems up and throwing them in with the rest of the broccoli in whatever I’m cooking at the time that I never thought of other options
• pickling is probably the easiest option – and along the lines of Japanese tsukemono, there’s plenty of quick pickle options
• or really go all out and take on fermentation – chop or shred the stems, add salt and aim for broccoli kraut or broccoli kimchi

• the big guns: Gnome or Plasma
• the middle tier: Xfce or LXQt
• the lightweights: tiling window managers (and there’s a LOT to choose from)
• the alternative crowd: Mate, Cinnamon, Regolith

on the flip side, Linux, the distros, the desktops are a lot more about community than anything Windows – and Linux projects are a lot more willing to admit they can’t operate in isolation – there’s constant interplay between the projects, the security teams, the kernel hackers, the language devs, the testers, and the users – and they communicate with each other through the blogs and mailing lists and IRC and toots and Fedi communities

Also won’t there will be an fragmentation of users issue?

when you can follow, subscribe to, post to, or comment on any community on any instance, there’s no fragmentation

when followers know there are plenty of options, it also prevents any single community from becoming too big or overbearing – and since the instances are all privately owned, the only thing you gain by growing your community bigger than everyone else is increased server load
