To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.

How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 26 points 1 month ago

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior....

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 6 points 1 month ago

Dangerous move. What if they adopt Linux? You're then obliged to become Mormon.

[-] peacepath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !

Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want...

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago

I don't think you can fork Mormonism.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Tbf aren’t most Christian religions forks? Of original Catholicism, which itself is a fork of Judaism?

[-] peacepath@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

They are different distros, and fork of distros, of a same original project. Yet it is sad to see how the trolls of the different branches are aggressive toward others.

Don't you think switching to Linux could help them in finding better ways to promote their favorite distro?

Yet, I admit linuxians too tend to have a favorite distro they fight for even if they haven't tried most others, and therefore without knowing if theirs is really better...

[-] b_tr3e@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Petrus just published the spec (allegededly following the design of some "Jesus"). Catholicism was one of its' early implementations it did not become dominant before the Roman Empire declared it the industry standard 300 years later.

I have to use windows at my new job, and I hate it so much. Have I said that in the last few minutes?

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 month ago
[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 33 points 1 month ago

Thank god I got it out in time.

Windows sucks balls.

[-] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

I will install arch soon on my host.

The arch linux experience (in the vm) is great so far. Just search if you need help, install corresponding software for something to work, etc.

[-] peacepath@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

open a terminal and enter the command:

yes I am using Linux

[-] StopA@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

U R using yes the wrong way.

I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️

[-] limer@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 month ago

I saw this, told my cats, and felt better

I feel worse because I don’t have cats and you do have cats. It’s a catastrophe.

  • there is no step two

I use glorious Nixos.

This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

[-] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.

[-] alecsargent@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

[-] sykaster@feddit.nl 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue

top left pic is the same girl in the meme about the guy watching another girl while walking with her GF ?

I'm using MX Linux BTW

[-] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Hey guys, I use Linux Mint btw!

[-] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I been thinking about trying pop! OS, anyone got reviews?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Not as good as Mint for me

[-] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.

Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

It's like the Crossfit of tech

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Nobody brags about windows lmao

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Not these days, at least.

I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.

[-] MelloniDev 8 points 1 month ago

Been actively suffocating for 10min

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks

Btw I don't use Arch

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Akshually its called GNU/Linux 🤓

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I'm still on Windows 10. Sure would love a reason to switch...

You fucking fiends.

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 5 points 1 month ago

It's actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That's how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.

Start on your grandmother's PC she can join the fun

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Great, thanks. But isn't she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn't know how to "hack" or "code" or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol...?

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 4 points 1 month ago

She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A "mouse" is overrated, I haven't used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing

Switching to Linux desktop was last years news. Now I go around telling everyone about my Linux server (Debian BTW).

[-] Antaeus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Replace “Linux” with “arch” and then it’s golden.

I dunno, I've never head anyone evangelize Windows.

Apple, yes. But honestly Linux users seem to have overtaken Apple users with their evangelizing.

[-] St0ner@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 month ago

Told the wasps outside and they stung me for my insolence.

[-] krunklom@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I feel personally attacked by this post.

[-] PyroNeurosis 4 points 1 month ago

As a basic bitch Mint user, I like seeing the meme using women instead of the usual men! Didn't even know I wanted that.
