    There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

    Jerry Springer meme - user attacked for installing ubuntu on a steam deck

    No You're breathtaking!

    If you use Open Source, you have the cool sauce.

    Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    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.

    It's all good, diversity and shit... until somebody asks "How do I install Kali Linux for daily driving?"

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I sure hope you posted this from a distro that I like, if not then there may be consequences.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    I use Mint and I'm not even sorry. Fight me!

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Mint with Cinnamon here. It just works. I maybe google how to troubleshoot something once per week max 👌

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    Mint is a fantastic distro. I had good luck with it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    that's cool... on a side note have you heard of our lord and savior Arch Linux? You should use it btw (/s)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    You're obviously a basement-dwelling, Mountain Dew swilling neckbeard! I hope your mom burns the tendies again tonight!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I use Arch btw but got into Linux with Mint and I'm glad I did. Really solid distro!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I used Ubuntu Mate, weird combo I guess?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    Finally, a safe place for RBOS.

    All that matters is that you're on linux, unless you use gnome.

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

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    Should've said "GNU/Linux"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    KDE!

    Then again, I use Hyprland as my daily, so :/

    What about a Gnome Desktop fork?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    the only ones I know are far enough from it that it would be in bad faith to judge them on that

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

    lol true :P All that matters is that you're on Linux, unless you use anything other than Arch

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Tell me that your distro sucks without telling me your distro sucks

    /s

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    I don't need other people to think it. I'm simply feeling cool over here

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Aaah, unless and as long as I use vannila Ubuntu + GNOME combo.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    My favorite Linux distro is Android. /Ragebait

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    Absolutely, I'm using MX and people I know use Ubuntu or Arch and we all don't care

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    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)
