But doctor, I am the guy who really likes to talk about linux

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 64 points 5 months ago

What a coincidence, I am a pack of wolves in a trenchcoat.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 5 months ago

Now you only need a reason to fight and you can make a movie

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 71 points 5 months ago

Sit with the Linux guy. Then tell him one of the wolves thinks Arch is bloated. Then I get half the plane to myself.

[-] SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 months ago

If you want to be distro-neutral tell him one of the wolf has issues with windows.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Don't need to. If I walked onto a plane and I'm deciding where to sit, there's only one reason I would know the guy is a Linux user (he uses Arch btw).

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

instrucrions unclear. now wolves are using linux

[-] SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Inside you there are two wolves.

One use Gentoo

The other one use Gentoo

You are compiling

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago

I like to fall asleep to boring audiobooks. The Linux guy would just be the live action version.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 34 points 5 months ago

I'm a canid furry and am trying to decide what distro to switch to when Win 10 caps out.

This is a hard decision for me, but not the way the author intended.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I love how no two of the replies to this comment suggested the same distro. (Okay, two people said Fedora, but no two of the others.)

I'm going to exacerbate that problem by saying Pop!_OS.

Also there's no reason to believe the Linux user isn't a canid furry also. Arch users are kinda famous for it.

Source: I'm an Arch user, see my Lemmy instance

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

If you have no/very little experience and want to switch as easily as possible I’d use Linux Mint, but if you want a bit more of a “power user distro” I’d suggest a distro from the fedora family (Fedora/Nobara/Fedora Atomic/Aurora/Bazzite) depending on what you want to do.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

"No Bara?" That's gonna be a problem...

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

I'm not super techy; basic windows user type. I distro hopped for a while, and landed on fedora. Love it. Vanilla Gnome is awesome for me, and provides enough of a difference from Windows to feel fresh and fun, while being intuitive enough to figure out easily. The terminal is optional, but fun to use, and there are guides a plenty, though if you need to rely on guides for everything, Ubuntu based distros are going to have way more.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 4 points 5 months ago

Is this like an alternative 13 werewolves?

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 5 months ago

Make it simple and just use fedora. Has lots of the same benefits as openSUSE, except openSUSE allows you to choose any and all the software that should be installed through a GUI installer. You should be fine, use flatpak for the freedom from distro specific application packages, and the ability to harden flatpak sandboxing through Flatseal or native support in system UI. For a Windows looking UI, I recommend KDE Plasma which is available for Fedora as the KDE Spin edition, or natively in the openSUSE installer.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

Use Slackware. Why stop half way when leaving behind the mainstream?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

If you want i can help you choose a distro, it really depends on your personal preference, pm me or reply if you want me to help

[-] sem 1 points 5 months ago

I would use Ubuntu if you would like good community support

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

We're all dead because the wolves aren't staying in their seats.

[-] mousetail@programming.dev 21 points 5 months ago

Linux has good security, simply chmod the seats on the left so the wolves don't get execute permissions

[-] Darorad@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Nah, they're just it people on their way to a convention

[-] Theme 20 points 5 months ago

You're on lemmy, you're all already the Linux guy and I'm already sat with you on this eternal flight

[-] chellewalker@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Before I decide... do the wolves use Windows?

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

They're mac users

[-] 737 16 points 5 months ago

I'd love to talk about Linux for 10 hours.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago

I pick the hungry danger puppies, if I get to feed them that is.

Because I already use Arch btw.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

The wolves won at "who really likes to talk"

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 13 points 5 months ago

humans have a pretty good track record with wolves.

[-] Sierra_Is_Bee@beehaw.org 13 points 5 months ago

It's cool I'll just offer the Linux user some estrogen, then we can make out.

[-] Tarogar@feddit.org 13 points 5 months ago

Simple.... Guy who really likes to talk about Linux. I can do that for the whole flight as well.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I sit next to the Linux guy. I can info dump better than he can, he'll move himself into the wolf side of the aisle before we've even taken off.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Wouldn't Richard Stallman fit it better? Even visually?

[-] Zangoose@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

He's a pedophile though so he shouldn't be worshipped

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 5 months ago

I'll get off the plane as fast as possible.

[-] cpw@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

I'd talk to the Linux guy about how fun it used to be to install debian 1.1 back in 1995. And how I've still got the same /home from that install

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I'll exit the unfastened fake door for an Archer, but I'd gladly sit with a Geny, Rhely, Deby, or Lfstist.

[-] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

aww the doggies :3

[-] yax@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

Sacrifice him to the pack, steal his laptop, pet the doggies
