As much as I agree that it's super nice with all these different flavours. It does make it more difficult for beginners to understand the eco system.
If you use Open Source, you have the cool sauce.
There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.
I don't know man, have you seem how much Star Wars fans hate Star Wars?
Yeah but Rose said a Jedi thing in a goofy way, that makes her the worst character ever and we should send threats to the actor because that's a reasonable response
I liked Rise of Skywalker
All linux distros are cool
Hey, you're cool!
No You're breathtaking!
All that matters is that you're on linux, unless you use gnome.
Back in 2007 a Linux user wished on a monkey's paw that Linux would be the most popular operating system in regular use, and then Android was unveiled.
Should've said "GNU/Linux"
Maybe it was only said as a meme, but, I like gnome quite a lot. I find it about 10x less annoying than W10/W11 and 7x less annoying than MacOS. What else should I be taking a look at though?
KDE!
Then again, I use Hyprland as my daily, so :/
That reminds me of the meme about the guy putting a crowbar at his bicycle wheel.
I have no problem at all about you using gnome; except if you come to me complaining about gnome. Even worse if you come to me complaining about Linux by reciting the shit gnome does.
lol true :P All that matters is that you're on Linux, unless you use anything other than Arch
🥲
Awh, us Gnome users always catching strays :(
What about a Gnome Desktop fork?
the only ones I know are far enough from it that it would be in bad faith to judge them on that
Am I a heathen for running Gnome on Gentoo?
I sure hope you posted this from a distro that I like, if not then there may be consequences.
I use Mint and I'm not even sorry. Fight me!
that's cool... on a side note have you heard of our lord and savior Arch Linux? You should use it btw (/s)
You're obviously a basement-dwelling, Mountain Dew swilling neckbeard! I hope your mom burns the tendies again tonight!
arch is soo old now, nix is the new cool kid in the block
I use Arch btw but got into Linux with Mint and I'm glad I did. Really solid distro!
Mint is a fantastic distro. I had good luck with it.
I used Ubuntu Mate, weird combo I guess?
Mint with Cinnamon here. It just works. I maybe google how to troubleshoot something once per week max 👌
It's all good, diversity and shit... until somebody asks "How do I install Kali Linux for daily driving?"
Reminds me of when I was looking up an issue for Kali Linux and saw like 10 different reddit threads, all full of “don’t use Kali Linux unless you know how to use it”. Which was very helpful when I had to use it for my coursework.
Side note: the most downvoted comment contained actual advice that fixed my problem.
The strangest choice I've seen for a daily driver is I had a friend who used Knoppix as his daily driver. He started using it on a thumb drive when his computer died, so he just used a thumb drive and random borrowed computers for a while, after getting used to it he transfered the install to his new laptop when he got it.
That's beyond bad taste and into active stupidity.
Tell me that your distro sucks without telling me your distro sucks
/s
But it’s not cool unless you know how to install arch (doesn’t mention that there’s literally a script that does it for you)
script
I have seen full fledged installers (with gui and live cd) for arch lol
Finally, a safe place for RBOS.
I don't need other people to think it. I'm simply feeling cool over here
My favorite Linux distro is Android. /Ragebait
Aaah, unless and as long as I use vannila Ubuntu + GNOME combo.
Shaming people for using Ubuntu or other “easy” distros is how you prevent people from joining the community long term. We’d be better served by being welcoming and understanding of people
Absolutely, I'm using MX and people I know use Ubuntu or Arch and we all don't care
Weird seeing this today. Just had a vendor say he was impressed that I jump from Arch to Alpine to Ubuntu to Windows throughout the day for work. They're all good stuff. Btw, I use nano, and will now accept the flames of retribution.
Are you using alpine for desktop?
Server environment, actually! I run it for my Kubernetes stack.
Don't know what you're talking about, nano is great. I use it unironically.
Nano is great lol. I used to get boo'd by the vi users back in the day.
Hey it me.
