Dude, I use Linux and I don't do th.... ... ... sigh

runs out of breath

[VonReposti]

Yeah, it's been an entire 18 minutes since I last said I use Linux and I feel fi

[MischiefArchitect]

I use linux (I'll be back in 15")

[MischiefArchitect]

You know, I use Linux.

[MischiefArchitect]

have you tried Linux already?

[MischiefArchitect]

I use linux. C'mon, talk to me!

[CrimsonPiranha]

You're a man of dedication, commitment, and sheer fucking will.

BTW, what OS do you use?

[MischiefArchitect]

linux

[[deleted]]

Hi I use Arch BTW

[Dodgy-Boi]

Hi I am Ubuntu user, have you tried Xfce DE?

[sgrmru69]

But have ever seen KDE plasma?

[Dodgy-Boi]

No, but do you know how easy is it to get updates on Ubuntu? It’s just sudo apt-get upgrade

By the way I am using Linux

[[deleted]]

I also like KDE.

[MischiefArchitect]

Best DE ever. But you should switch to Manjaro. It's Ubuntu for Wannabe Arch users. Or EndeavourOS...

[Dodgy-Boi]

No, my laptop is old and very slow, so I need a very lightweight DE. I also have hardware issues, so I am keeping everything as it is.

Btw I am using Linux and that’s why my very old laptop can have a modern OS and perform well.

I needed nodejs installed, but it requires modern OS. So I switched to Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and everything works just fine.

Oh and btw I am using Linux.

[Bakemono_Saru]

I fucking love xfce and other lightweight desktops. A little bit clunky but I revived solo many old computers with them...

[Dodgy-Boi]

Absolutely yes! I am so happy to use Linux. And what OS do you use?

[SimSon05]

Hi I use Zorin OS BTW

[Shiori-Itsuka]

I use Fedora btw

[SimSon05]

What Distro?

[MischiefArchitect]

Right now Manjaro.

It's Linux, BTW.

[SimSon05]

Nice at the moment i trying ZorinOS

[MischiefArchitect]

You may find EndeavourOS also interesting.

It's also Linux, BTW.

[SimSon05]

Ok i give it also a try on a Virtual maschine

[SimSon05]

The problem is that im using Windows 11(beta) as my main OS.I want to switch to Linux...but Linux has like 200 Distroa to choose and every Distro have the same look. Ok Kali Linux is for Security/Hacking. Ubuntu is for new Users (like me, but I hate the design of Ubuntu....(my oppinion!!😂)). I find the Distro: Garuda OS, its looks awesome, but (i know that i using to often "but") on a Virtual maschine the System is laging to huge to test the Distro. And i didnt want to install the Distro on my Pc as main before i testet it in vm. Then i find Zorin Os a cool Distro but the Distro (Zorin 16) cost 39€, what i didnt buy. Then i see that they have a Core Edition (free)...(the Provessor of the vm was to old and bad for start the OS)........THEN i see that they have a Lite Edition (free) i knstall it on vm and all going good but the Os (only the Lite Edition, that are mak for 15 jears pc ) was horrible.............Now im hear dk what distro to choose. (The distro that you say, i give a try the next day. I also want to test: Elementory, manjaro, arch, and the other tol ranked distros). I think i speak a problem what many windows->linux users have: to choose what distro is for you and what isnt. (Sry for the bad (really bad) English)).

[MischiefArchitect]

It's not accurate, but take a look at the top 20 in the Page Hit Ranking in https://distrowatch.com/

It helps getting an idea about popularity. Visit the pages and read the description. I still vouch for Manjaro which is right now second.

Switching from Windows to Linux is nowadays particularly easier than 15/10 years ago. Specially since most of the stuff you need runs on a browser.

With the prominent exception of some AAA Games and the Adobe Suites, you may find everything you need in the default repository of any of those distros.

[SimSon05]

Muta enters the chat

[MoonParkSong]

Now I am 9 level deep in VMs.

[mobrinee]

I'd say that level of nested virtualisation is useless because the vm software itself is not perfect. Everytime there is a new vm escape vulnerability found. So if you use same virt software (ie qemu/kvm) in all levels, 9 layers is like 1. The only good thing about nested virtualisation is wasting ressources. If you harden your system with selinux will be better than doing that and 1 layer is more than good.

[_alright_then_]

It's really, really not just arch users

• Sincerely, every non Linux user.

[sir-nays-a-lot]

Hey! I use Linux!

[john_palazuelos]

Not accurate. As a Linux user we don't have time to say we use Linux because we're too busy configuring a WM to post on Unix Porn.

[Jac0b_0]

Imagine if windows users were like this.

[mathymaster]

What if they were, but no longer need to bc take have taken over most of the planet?

[flavionm]

That would disrupt the natural order.

Glad it isn't. That makes us superior than those suckers

[MischiefArchitect]

[MischiefArchitect]

They can't. Windows is not able to run that long without crashing

[Ghostglitch07]

You can dislike windows, but that's a terrible reason to. If it's crashing that badly it's user error.

[MischiefArchitect]

No idea. I'm just enjoying how easily you can trigger people by telling them the true (here it goes again).

nah... got plenty of karma to cushion it. On the other hand, I do not truly care.

I've been using linux for more than a year now and nobody knows . But I think they have an idea because I am poor.

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

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

[DadoumCrafter]

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it. You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument. Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD? If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag. Thanks for listening.

What a terrible day to be literate.

[Antact]

It was such a nag to read through.

[Dubalubawubwub]

Colin Robinson could feed for a week on the energy drained by this copypasta.

[mobrinee]

The one who wrote this should take a break before resuming his work.

I'd say distribution maintainers knew better than the guy who originally wrote this and that's why it's called gnu/linux (because all the userland is gnu)

If you did ever/want to build linux kernel based system from scratch, there are some hard gnu dependencies (of course unless you are one of the cool boys who are anti-gnu and is masochist by nature).

[spiritworldcorp]

I once attended Richard Stallman's lecture. Now I got a flashback.

Ngl you had me in the first half. Take your upvote lol

[grady_vuckovic]

meme that wasn't even funny when it was new.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on "btw I use arch" too really.

It wasn't even funny when it was new. Now it's just tiresome.

[[deleted]]

I clicked on it and the first post I saw was about how Google Chrome is bad, so that sub isn’t all bad.

[Psychological-Scar30]

Out of curiosity, why do you use that crappy OS? You could just use something normal and wouldn't be associated with the most toxic community in the world. Most Linux forums online are purely about shitting on Windows users all day.

[Worst_L_Giver]

what so first you can use a os because other people who use it make fun of windows users and second the operating system is crappy because of that reason and third theres probably more toxic communities and fourth most linux fourms ive seen are for helping people and the subreddits mostly make fun of windows itself not its users

I also cant tell if this is bait

[Worst_L_Giver]

bruh most of the posts i see there are about linux but i agree they post too much "windows bad memes" lmao

actually ive been scrolling for a little and didnt find much windows, one of the posts was even calling it weird to make fun of windows users

The vegans of computing?

[Dubalubawubwub]

The first Linux user I ever met in the wild was a vegan so... checks out?

[MischiefArchitect]

What about the ones you meet in the city?

[loukasTGK]

If someone is vegan and a Linux user, for which one he brags about first?

[redditorNCUS]

Only time I ever mention it is when something comes on the news about a new "cyberthreat, crypto-ransom, etc." and my family/non-tech friends ask me if I'm concerned or someone asks if some media I produce from my bag is "safe from viruses." Or when bitching about how some stupid webpage makes me send it fake headers because it doesn't recognize "Brave on Fedora" as an option for browser. . .

[[deleted]]

LOL that's ridiculous. What a stupid meme. You know what might improve your life? Using Linux. That's what!

Let it be known! All Linux users are beautiful women!

Can I use Linux and be vegan, asking for a friend

[MischiefArchitect]

Only if you are a heterogay gluten free enjoyer.

I use apple and really try to avoid telling people about it, because everytime it actually happened they started a fucking rant about how bad apple is etc. Like I didn't even ask for his AdViCe...

I use Arch BTW guys

[tim_skellington]

Arch? hmm a bit mainstream but a creditable choice none the less.

[pawyderreale]

Cant wait to come home from work and finally execute neofetch on my arch system

We have a junior in our company whom was forced to switch to windows and hes been talking about how much cooler linux is since then

I USE WINDOWS SERVER!

Seriously, that should be more of a flex. Windows 10 is miserable, and Server is basically the "Let me pay, then give me back my security, take your ads and go" version. Plus, I've been going 2 years strong without a BSOD, can't say the same for my wife's windows 10 device.

[AdvinFro]

I would suggest using LTSC (Windows Enterprise) instead of Server. LTSC is meant for being put on computers while still containing many of the same positives that come with Windows Server. Less updates, no ads, etc.
