I just don't know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don't know anything about Linux, I know I'm not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It's like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it's suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don't speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don't know!

I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can't stop.

The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.

Choo Choo!

[–] frickineh 12 points 10 months ago (12 children)

I've thought about it and then I remember that I'm pretty dumb about stuff that doesn't interest me much, so it would have to be a situation where someone else was like, "here's your linux computer, I already set up all your stuff and your games all work."

I use Linux since 2008 and I don't get most of the Linix Memes as well. :) I also know German as a native language and don't get most of the ich_iel stuff. You are not alone.

I had a conversation with a friend last night and he was talking about something Linux related and I accidentally contributed to the conversation. I immediately thought "god dammit Lemmy".

You WILL eat your vegetables. It's good for you. One day you will install it and you will be grateful.

[–] idunnololz 67 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don't like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don't want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don't want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.

In that case Mint would be perfect for you.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This response is perfect and I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it's 100% serious and I read too much into it.

There's comedic genius in: "I hate talking about Linux, it's just a tool" "In that case here's a distro recommendation for you"

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It was actually a bit of both, a joke and an actual recommendation.

No encryption provided; Christians have nothing to hide

I actually 100% support this. Let's make sure every church only uses HTTP and does not hash their passwords.

After all...what do they have to hide?

[–] dejected_warp_core 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I once met someone back in school (eons ago) that was both a devout Born-again Christian and wildly enthusiastic Linux user. I once remarked that I personally witnessed him convert more people to Linux than Christianity.

Stupid teenage me didn't mean to come of as so savage, but judging by the look on his face, I think that broke him a little. :(

Commands are now called prayers and must end in "amen" or God will rm -rf your files.

Are you not entertained?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

After much dedicated and persistent blocking of communities, I don't see much Linux on lemmy anymore. But I don't see much on lemmy anymore.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Would be more accurate if it said Linux memes: I don't think I've seen any facts AFAIK.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Here's a fact: I use Arch.

Posting on an open-source platform and being surprised by the amount of people who talk about an open-source operating system is something.

[–] FrowingFostek 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It is definitely a thing. I would categorize it as such. I'd dare say it is one of the things of all time.

[–] STOMPYI 14 points 10 months ago

more evidence that we do live in a society...

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 10 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I want to be her. Where can I find someone to spoon-feed me Linux?
