I laughed way too hard at that. Thank you, I needed it.
This is quite funny
The only license agreement you could read in its entirety and wholeheartedly endorse.
Not necessarily. I know a guy who has been using Linux for 20 years but is dumb as a bag of rocks. It's me.
well to be fair you're smarter than people who use Omarchy so, hey bud, you got that going for you.
From the description, I thought you were talking about me. But maybe you are me and we are just two instances of our shared mental instability ๐
Oh, I'm here as well. 5 more of us and we'll be sense8.
You ever get that sick desperation in your life?
The linux community is split cleanly in two.
Those with way too much self-awareness and those with none at all.
I say that as someon who uses a linux distro as my main OS. (Yes I am better than you).
There's also a hierarchy. You run Mint? Lol ok kid, adults use Arch.
Sadists use Arch.
no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.
a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they're doing will have a fine time.
What's someone who uses LFS?
Arch bricked two of my switches, and all I literally did was "pacman -Syu" regularly.
uses a linux distro as my main OS
As opposed to dabbling? Nah fuck that, I'm all in, to the extent possible. I have to use Mac OS for work, otherwise I'd be fully on Linux. Fuck windows with a rusty knife.
Yeah my work computer runs Win 11 and god I hate it.
Am I the only one who doesn't have a negative experience on Windows 11? Like, I daily drive Cachy, but I have no issues with my work machine.
I guess our tech shop people are doing their jobs right.
I thought even most windows lovers had more than a couple issues with 11...
My condolences. I used to be in that situation (windows 7 then I think) and I hated it.
Most people start with dual booting and eventually, inevitably, move to linux full time.
I agree, I just don't know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I've been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don't truly "need" it almost ever.
"Dual booting" as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it'd be only windows anyways)
You cant use both partitions
Well you can with a hypervisor, but why bother when you can just run windows VM in linux... until you discover some game anticheats like battleye went out of their way to detect and block virtualization of any kind, so you need to boot windows natively sometimes. Of course you could go the other way and run linux vm inside windows but then all the flexibility of a linux system is lost in a rigid windows wrapper, which makes it kinda pointless....
Yeah that's kinda what I'm saying. It takes effort/money to keep using both unless it's a work provided machine with the non preferred os
Ugh... I feel your pain.
Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.
But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.
OpenSUSE:
I promise not to make a nuclear weapon โ
I mean is that like a pinky promise?
itunes also has that in its EULA.
It's funny because it's true
And if there's one kind of person who really pisses me off, it's the kind that use the wrong distro
I could care less what distro you're using, but if you're using the wrong desktop environment, I will have a real conniption fit and write a 31-page rant on why your DE is a bloated, rigid mess.
What if I do not use a desktop or a wm? The tty is comfy here.
Half of people hate gnome and will bite your head off for mentioning it, the other half loves and uses it with little to no issue. I'm a gnome guy and don't like KDE (yes I've tried it multiple times) but if they fix a few things I could see switching.
standing uncomfortably close It's called ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ now
I think I'm the weird one who likes different DEs for different use-cases
Gnome is great on a laptop with a track pad. It feels a bit like MacOS with its gestures and how it behaves. I did try also installing hyprland on it to try it out. I like the idea of a tiling WM but getting a setup 'just right' sounds like an exercise in patience I don't have when other solutions exist that are good enough.
On my main desktop that I use a mouse to navigate, KDE all the way.
On the few VMs that I run GUI apps on, I like LXQT (Lubuntu or Debian) for how few resources it uses.
Nice! I'll bet this helps your neuroplasticity too. I should probably try to do something similar. One reason I'm attached to gnome is that I've built up a collection of knowledge and scripts around customizing it. I should probably be less picky regarding these customizations though.
Agreed. Enlightenment or bust!
"I promise I am not a cuck bent over with my cheeks spread getting gaped by corporations and loving every second of it."
FTFY
Is this true?
I mean funny meme hahaha windows sux but isn't the license agreement of Linux GPLv2? not to mention the license of the distro and all the packages?
Only on the kernel ackshually. Most packages are GPL3 or BSD or Apache.
If you don't plan to edit source files, Linux distribution licenses boil down to "do whatever just don't sue us"
Yeah, but I just CachyOS
Accurate.
We kinda are though...
โโฆand Iโll get really pissy if anyone tries to tell me otherwiseโ.
If you're gonna say windows is better than Linux in any conceivable way, yes you're gonna hear about it from a Linux person
