Meh. Lemmy is a fairly small community of people who know at least enough about computer and software that they're willing to push away from main-stream sites like Reddit. It seems kind of obvious that those same people would also be inclined to push away from Windows.
I wouldn't call it a 'hard-on'. It's just a kind of obvious correlation of people's interests. And no, it's nothing like 1/3 of the posts. It's just that you only think about linux when you're reading one of those posts, and so you only think to mentally tally the posts when you're actually reading one. It's a kind of cognitive bias. You could easily check this by just looking at the first few pages of 'all' right now. There's almost no posts about linux there at all.
