Have you heard of our lord and saviour Arch Linux BTW
“Is that like Jesus?”
“No, it’s not like Christianity at all. Nobody who’s ever talked about Arch has ever gotten nailed”
yet
Speak for yourself! I got two kids goddammit! 😎😭🥲
wow, nailed twice ! talk about a reserection !
High five for sexy time! 🫸🫷
Oh now I understand :(
What about burned on stake for witchcraft?
Obviously only real linux users use Void, you can tell because they have the best OS-Chan mascot.
Nonsense…real linux users use Slackware. Why bother with all these fancy new distros when the original is still going strong?
Obligatory:
Real Linux users actually compile linux from scratch without a network connection and just the linux from scratch cd.
What if I told you back in the day of floppy disk linux installs I used slackware because the redhat prompt was plain but slackware had a more colorful command prompt.
I’d likely believe you since I was doing the same thing. That, and my buddy was running a MUD on a Slackware server so I had someone to bug when I hit a wall.
Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s
Not entirely the same.
nixis a build-tool, package manager and DSL. NixOS is the OS built on top of that. https://nixlang.wiki/ explains itI just think more people should use Nix packages
BTW!!!
This was funny the first time I saw it, back when windows 10 came out.
it’s still new for gentoo users who started installing that day and decided to go with openoffice from source.
I’ll be honest at this point in my life anthing that pops up it gets a 1 simply for annoying me.
I’m never randomly recommending anything unless asked and if I do when asked specifically about it the app owners sure as shit don’t need to know about it
Would you like to rate our app?
❌Not now ❌Yes ✅Not ever
I think it’s the fact that 3rd box rarely exists that has gotten me this way
The fact that these popups exists in the first place makes me angry
It’s annoying when I start some software to get something done and it’s asking me to do a survey. I’m in the middle of something! What’s wrong with you?!
The survey is administered by a cat.
Honestly all the app owners need to know is why a customer is dissatisfied. If the app is actually good the recommendations will come naturally.
I don’t disagree but when I get asked to give it a rating 2 mins after installing they can fick right off.
Thanks to bots and shills ratings mean nothing.
In most cases I just stop using something as its not as useful as i thought or just boring bugging me in this manner just makes me actively hate it.
Well yeah that’s why the only sensible place for such a survey is in the uninstaller (no popup browser tab please) with a big fat “Skip” option. Let’s people with actual feedback give that feedback while people who don’t want to can skip. Corpo can then evaluate if the product lands well by the rate of installed/uninstalled/left feedback.
But yeah modern day surveys are absolute garbage and annoying in like 99/100 cases
In the modern age it seems sensible has gone right out the window. It almost feels like it’s your fault you hate their product rather than it being shit.
Information has lost all value and I just don’t want to play anymore
This even funnier now that they’ve come full circle to shutting down Windows 10 - Our Last Operating System!
Linux users aren’t people ;)
We’re penguins
Penguins are people
they identify as 🚺
Man I really like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE you all should try it
I don’t have a PC right now but I’m a Mint guy.
“1994 or 2024” for 200$, Alex.
Both, obviously
I let a friend try out Linux after I’ve been using it for years and they were shocked how much easier some things are. I think the idea of throwing them into a like Windows distro is the wrong direction. I’m ready POP OS’s new desktop whenever it comes out.
This is the reaction I get from people too. :)
Yes pop!_OS is ok I don’t like it that much but it is a good distro
I feel called out here lol. Granted, I’ve only recommended it to people I know who complained about the performance of windows. Linux is so much more optimised
You guys should try Kali Linux with KDE Plasma. I’m really enjoying it. It’s so easily customizable.
Ok I installed Kali now how do I hack?
Sudo apt install sl

Causally recommending linux and shutting down inane tech support questions aren’t the same thing. If I get asked: “X feature stopped working in the newest macOS. What do I do?” I tell them the truth: “I switched to linux to get the feature back.”
Kind of reframes the whole being a vegetarian thing…
Well, did you know I’m vegetarian and used to run Arch? If you could show me your fridge and computer, please, I’ll fix them for you!
This answer is stupid. I don’t think it’s unusual for a non-tech savvy friend who heard about Linux to ask for an opinion.
I think it is unusual. As a software engineer who has a large circle of friends, loads of them know I use Linux, but literally no one cares or is curious about knowing more. And honestly I’m not interested in explaining. We talk about and do other things lol. I sometimes talk about differences and news about both with those who have jobs or interests closer to the IT business, and we have a short conversation about those news, but nobody asks me about Linux, and especially not Windows. It’s not interesting.
If Lemmy is any example the “I use Linux” crowd is like “I’m a vegetarian”.
