Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (6 children)

And systemd vs other init systems, FOSS vs open source, GNU or not, Pipewire and PulseAudio, Windows...

Plot twist: the "wolves" are just furries going to a major infosec conference, and will also talk endlessly about Linux

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And about how they penetrated disney so hard with their hairy giant cocks, lol

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you realize you could simply not type a comment about hairy giant cocks?

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 month ago (10 children)

Definitely next to Linux guy. I've been working on Linux since very early days, so I don't talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole "ummmm...actually".

[–] SpaceNoodle 83 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, you're the Linux guy this image macro is about.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Oh, I'll bore you to death talking about stuff, just not Linux.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

I would love to sit next to you gaining Linux knowledge!

I'll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can't hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.

Wait, you carry Win11 installation media with you? Who let you out of Arkham Asylum?

Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.

[–] KrapKake 51 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.

The Wolves got through the airport checkpoints without any issues.

I'll sit next to 1, and I'll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.

The good old lying approach, I see.

Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, I was in such a situation on the train before. I was just there working and the person sitting next to me noticed I had a linux desktop (in fact, GNU/Linux, btw). They were curious and vaguely interested in switching to linux for a while, so we had a nice conversation about this.

I would not bring this up myself, but it's cool that this happens sometimes (i.e., once in a few decades of life so far)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, what you're refering to as Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

Ask the guy to hold down the wolves while I teach them how to install Debian

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

Linux guy. My time here at Lemmy has acclimated me to his kind.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't answer, as I am the guy on the left (plus 10 years and 50 lbs).

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

Either that or sit in 1 and tell him one of the wolves is violating the GPL.

Sit beside one and talk about the BSDs being the superior race LMAO

  1. I use linux too so I'd get a more diverse range of conversation material with the wolves.
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fortunately, i own earplugs

[–] whostosay 23 points 1 month ago

Good call, wolves can get pretty noisy.

It's wolves, i'm sitting besides the pack, cause it's impossible for me to sit beside ME!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Super happy to be that Linux guy sitting by myself with no one to bother me while I'm getting things done.
