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

[-] linuxFan@vlemmy.net 9 points 2 years ago

There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

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

[-] visor841@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

All linux distros are cool

No You're breathtaking!

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

[-] Chobbes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Should've said "GNU/Linux"

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] dukk@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

KDE!

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

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

What about a Gnome Desktop fork?

[-] 20gramsWrench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] deafboy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Auzzeren@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[-] Evrala@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

[-] weirdwallace75@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's beyond bad taste and into active stupidity.

[-] darkevilmac@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Xeelee@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Minion3665@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Xeelee@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I used Ubuntu Mate, weird combo I guess?

[-] Jnax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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

[-] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Finally, a safe place for RBOS.

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years 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)

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Album@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

My favorite Linux distro is Android. /Ragebait

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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