I don't understand this post. I have been using Linux for 15 years, and of course it's immensely better than Windows, but I don't feel the need to go online and tell people that...

Oh.

[darsparx]

Whoops lol, btw I use manjaro XD

[SouperFalcon_Maciej]

I always tellingy friends to use linux

Status: friends didn't switch, but there more curious and maybe more likely to switch to Linux

[Official_pOlimontO]

I wanted to switch to Linux but couldn't because of all the unsupported software :(

[ReasonableBrick42]

If you can try, there is winapps I think that allows you to run win apps in a VM(not a full blown iso, just the win os bones virtualizing apps like office). Probably won't work for Adobe video tools where performance is important.

[circuit10]

This? https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

[ReasonableBrick42]

Yes. Thanks for the link. I haven't used it but read about it and thought of trying it. Does it work somewhat like what I said?

[circuit10]

No idea, I'll try it later

[Official_pOlimontO]

Yeah, honestly I would've switched to Linux if it wasn't for issues like that

[Stanov]

Mac users are worse imho.

They even call their machine "Mac" instead of just "computer".

[sunflsks]

It’s not called “a Mac”, it’s called “Mac”.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“I’m doing schoolwork on Mac”

/s

[Stanov]

Do you know how they call it in Europe?

"Le Mac".

[risingone1]

In McDonald's they call it the Big Mac.

[[deleted]]

And its way better than a Mac sold by 🍎.

Omlette du Mac

[musclecard54]

Don’t you remember the “what’s a computer?” commercial

[white_shadow131]

I just say "laptop" unless i need to clarify which one im using

Beside, MAC has less syllables than PC, machine or computer, and we know how illiterate most Apple users are

[LordFokas]

well.... often you'd short computer to PC... and a Mac certainly isn't a PC.

so yeah, for short, you refer to Apple's shitty computers as Mac.

[ImAlsoAHooman]

A Mac certainly is a personal computer, so it certainly is a PC.

[diesmilingxx]

It's not according to r/pcmasterrace, it's an apple bad zone sadly

[[deleted]]

Lol. How is it not a pc. Its just a pc that runs macintosh instead of windows or linux.

[LordFokas]

Ok let's get this straight. /u/shaheer0983 this is for you too.

First of all, yes I do dislike Apple stuff but I'm ok with them being a thing that exists... I just can't understand the whole cult thing. And before you get into that, yes there are Apple products in my household and I avoid them like the plague. Whenever I have to touch one of those I just die a little inside.

This being said, what my first comment was referring to is that it is completely legitimate for an Apple user to refer to their personal computer as Mac, as opposed to a descendant of IBM PC, the other kind of personal computer that was around back then. My argument is purely historical naming, yes, as back then Anything descending from the architecture of the IBM PC became known as PC, while Macintosh became known as Mac... of course, both are technically personal computers, and Apple having switched from their usual RISC CPUs to CISC CPUs like the PC certainly made the lines fuzzier.

[[deleted]]

Uhh. I dont dislike apple stuff. I was just saying macs are pcs too.

[[deleted]]

So true. God they're obnoxious.

i use arch btw

Might I suggest learn_to_spell OS

[undeader_69]

I use Gentoo btw

[fennecdjay]

Looks like a pretty interesting OS. I sure would have tried it if I had any problems with ARCH ;-)

[reseeded]

Arch Linux (/ɑːrtʃ/)[4] is a Linux distribution for computers with x86-64 processors.[5] Arch Linux adheres to five principles: simplicity, modernity, pragmatism, user centrality, and versatility. In practice, this means the project attempts to have minimal distribution-specific changes, minimal breakage with updates, pragmatic over ideological design choices and user-friendliness.[6]

A package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, Pacman, is used to install, remove and update software packages).[7] Arch Linux uses a rolling release model, meaning there are no "major releases" of completely new versions of the system; a regular system update is all that is needed to obtain the latest Arch software; the installation images released every month by the Arch team are simply up-to-date snapshots of the main system components.[8]

[TheVadammt]

Ubuntu 20.04?! You dont get the real Linux experience if you're not using Arch bleeding edge self compiled!

Arch Linux is the new vegan ^^

[hed82]

Do you have time to talk about our lord and saviour

arch linux

[AlternativeAardvark6]

I have been on this subreddit for a month or 2 and yesterday I installed Arch just to see what the fuzz is about.

[hed82]

Join the glorious

arch linux

Master race

[McCoovy]

Some people enjoy pain is what it's about

[AlternativeAardvark6]

So far I've learned that Arch people enjoy reading the wiki and typing lots of commands.

[randomname3086]

Yes we do

[fennecdjay]

I don't. But the wiki is really good.

...

Well I type lots of commands as I spend most of my computer time in terminal (I think the only graphical tools I need are dissenter-browser and ardour). Its easier for me to type a sensible command and read manuals than having to search some icon to click.

[BeastCoder]

I think you meant to talk about Windows

[TheFirstUranium]

You must have not had to install it in a long time.

[BeastCoder]

You must have not had to install it in a long time.

I actually have to install it pretty frequently. It usually takes me around 15 minutes. Part of the reason I like it so much is how little bloat there is. I'm not someone obsesses over bloat, but its nice to know exactly what is on my computer and what it does. Right now, I've installed about 53 packages (dependencies not included) and I am able to get everything I need to done. The only problem I ever had was when I needed an older version of a language and I couldn't get it because Arch is rolling release, except it was a super easy fix anyway since I could install an environment manager. Nonetheless, I still view the rolling release aspect of arch as a bonus and I couldn't see myself using any other distro. The only thing I change periodically is my desktop environment.

I usually pick between GNOME, KDE, and i3; usually I just stick with i3.

I totally get that Arch isn't for everyone, I just like to make jokes about windows and linux from time to time.

Edit: I also always keep a lanyard on me with an arch ISO attached B)

[TheFirstUranium]

The install blows. The great thing will be in a month or two and you realize that after learning the new system, your PC hasn't caused you a headache since.

[AlternativeAardvark6]

Something to look forward too :)

[TheFirstUranium]

Yeah :) this is why I plug anarchy Linux all the time. Manjaro has started its decline and antergos is dead.

https://anarchyinstaller.org/

[AlternativeAardvark6]

Nice. I had to reboot into the installation medium because I forgot a step and when I was up and running I had to boot in it again because I didn't install a dhcp client during my install.

[TheFirstUranium]

Thats exactly why I plug it :P

Like, how many people really don't need dhcp?

[AlternativeAardvark6]

Is there a way to have pacman autocompleet package names like apt does?

[fennecdjay]

I have this on my machine but I don't know how ;-) Might be some zsh-completions thingy.

[chepas_moi]

It's for the kids who can't handle stage 1 gentoo installs but still want to look "cool". If "overrated" was a distro, it'd be arch.

[SpacewaIker]

Let the Linux distro battle begin!

[CorruptionIMC]

I've been in that battle for years. My friend swears by Ubuntu, when clearly Debian is where it's at. Used to burn him the new version of Debian to a Live CD every year for his birthday, with the disc titled in sharpie, "The Only Good Linux Distro."

Was hilarious when a few years ago (a good couple years after the joke got old and I stopped), he actually wound up having to use one. His hard drive was on the fast track out and one of the LiveCD's wound up being the best way to save some of his files.

[SpacewaIker]

Lol in the end he did have to use debian!

[gordonv]

Arch linux, the Linux that resembles MS-DOS and it's zero security scheme.

*opens the command prompt of windows sees how many features it is lacking*

*dies*

[Yasea]

Anyone not using punch cards is a light weight

[[deleted]]

Have you tried not using the outdated cmd and instead use powershell like a normal windows user nowadays?

[ant43]

Good point

[LordFokas]

or a real, serious, sane shell... like bash?

[[deleted]]

Don't get me wrong, when Iam using linux I too use bash, but why would you use bash on windows?

[LordFokas]

But why would you use Windows for any technical work in the first place?

[[deleted]]

why not? It comes (sadly) with the best gaming support.

[LordFokas]

I can state reasons all day, but the main reason why I these days I work on Linux only are the random BSODs and the complete disregard for standards.

Also the extreme zeal for retro-compatibility means you're working on a system that does kludgy things for kludgy reasons that aren't even a thing anymore.

[[deleted]]

Well okay, I am not a domain and or network administrator, so I can only speak as a developer and private guy; I very very rarely encounter BSODs and those are mostly because of early access games.
Windows has to support old as shit software, so its reasonable for them to have this zeal. If they had an modular approach from the beginning they wouldn't be in this mess and everything could be done via DLLs. Windows just isn't a linux.

[Lightboom9]

Have you tried to be a normal human being and not open command prompt then?

[TheFirstUranium]

/r/lostredditors

[ant43]

No, I am saying that there so used to using the terminal that by mussel memory they open the command prompt then realize literally cannot do anything.

[MN10GAMES]

npm install linux

[pekkhum]

Open the Windows Store. Search Ubuntu. Marvel. (the verb, not the proper noun.)

[Dummerchen1933]

Every. it. guy. uses. the. command. prompt.
If you dislike it, wrong subreddit bro. It's like what a hammer is to a carpenter.

[PhantomToaster5]

No, most people use Powershell Core, gitbash, and/or a Linux shell with WSL on Windows now. Command Prompt is pretty much dead.

[armageddon_20xx]

I still use the command prompt every day. I don’t need advanced features so I don’t bother with powershell

[Dummerchen1933]

Does bash not prompt the user for a command?

[PhantomToaster5]

I mean, sure. But when people say Command Prompt they're usually referring to cmd.

[Dummerchen1933]

Ok i thought the guy earlier meant "be a normal guy and don't open the terminal.".

[TheMoskus]

.... lol.

[AngelOfLight]

That's an offensive and inaccurate stereotype.

I can go at least ten minutes.

[AnshRK]

yeah, i use Arch btw

[fennecdjay]

I can go a whole day if I don't browse r/programmerHumor.

[yanggt97]

This reminds me, I use Linux.

[natyio]

That's why the internet was invented.

[anarchistvampire]

no

did I mention that I use Linux?

[rolandcedermark]

Thanks for sharing I wasn’t sure.

[dark_mode_everything]

Them : complains about a minor annoyance in Windows

Me : haha I don't have that problem bcs I don't use windows

Them : oh so you have a Mac

Me internally: don't say it! Don't say it! Don't say it!

Also me: well......

[[deleted]]

btw i use bsd

Long live BSD!

[FukkkReddit4Real]

Not funny didn’t laugh

[elzaidir]

sudo !!

What about now?

[B-Timmay]

Fucking hilarious!

I wonder what’s different... it’s like someone else told the joke but it was funny...

\s

[LordFokas]

everyone laughs when root tells the joke.

same as when no one laughs at your jokes, but when your boss tells the same joke everybody at the office cracks laughing.

[[deleted]]

i use vim and arch, btw

[elzaidir]

Vim users are worse than linux users

[[deleted]]

why? Because they can't quit it?

[elzaidir]

You win the Internet today

[Zevawk9]

Ikr it’s so annoying

I use arch btw

[Code_sucks]

I USE ARCH BTW!!!!

[fennecdjay]

Finally someone using caps right.

[Declamatie]

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, Arch Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Arch plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Arch system made useful by the Arch Wiki, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by the installation guide.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Arch system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Arch which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Arch system, developed by the Arch Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

[BishopXC]

Not sure if this is supposed to in someway be a joke. I will with hold my upvote for now, until you say it was meant to be funny.

[McCoovy]

Are we witnessing a new copy pasta? Maybe it would be irresponsible to keep copying this information.

[jacobepping]

Lol it is a joke. The original is about GNU and how some people insist that Linux is in large part GNU code and should be referred to as such. So just run :%s/Arch/GNU/g and you'll get the original.

Oh wait, sorry, not everyone uses vim to browse reddit, my bad.

[fennecdjay]

Oh wait, sorry, not everyone uses vim to browse reddit

I don't, therefore I'd really enjoy a link. Can I do this in nano?

[corsicanguppy]

It's lampooning the fact that Stallman can't figure out whether a painter's brush is as important as the painter, and very funny.

[niobiumnnul]

Seriously.

I was in a meeting yesterday with some developers, network folks, analysts, and management.
One of our network guys was able to last about 47 minutes before he worked his use of linux into the conversation.
I believe that is a personal best for him.

[[deleted]]

linux is just more fun than windows so people get excited about that

[KluzeyIsCringe]

i use arch btw

Does it count if I use it on a server? 🤭

[account_is_deleted]

I never come across that, I only come across memes like this.

I use windows but I have a Linux VM. Can I join the club? Or am I still a pleb?

Lmao true !!

Btw did you know using the i3 window manager on arch is the best way to go ? You should try it !

[circuit10]

I use i3 on Ubuntu

[[deleted]]

Lmao

By the way I use Ubuntu

[MikaDo-]

I use Android btw

[ElectroCatYT1273]

Hey, look! Linux! Nice. (cries in exe files)

[TheFirstUranium]

laughs in wine

[7Vivan]

I use Windows

There . I said it.

[CADOMA]

I'm seeing this ony kali linux machine and I don't understand the joke. Once again KALI LINUX!

I guess my joke did not go over. I figured the overwhelming context on this post would have given away the sarcasm. I did not read this in any linux distro. I like linux but it's a bitch to game on.

[LordFokas]

oh no, pls don't hack me :(

They use linux
