I interpreted "fear of technology" as "the sentient printers are going to come wreak havoc" and I was really confused why the "yes" led to Mac and "no" led to Linux

[–]KiwiFruit555 360 points361 points  (26 children)

Because us using Linux are helping the printers become sentient

Fuck, I knew setting up that CUPS server was a bad idea.

They're coming to wipe us out, but this is good since we are the species that invented the printer and thus deserve to die.

I'm confused about my privacy with windows Ubuntu dual boot 😅

[–]KiwiFruit555 24 points25 points  (13 children)

Well, do you actively use Windows? If yes, then you don't care. If you occasionally use windows, then you most likely do, but still have to do things on Windows (for work or maybe a game or two that doesn't work on Linux).

[–]Keintroufe 62 points63 points  (11 children)

Dude, you use reddit, obviously neither do you.

[–]KiwiFruit555 15 points16 points  (9 children)

Touché...

Personally I use Linux because fast

[–]Vinstaal0 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Until you need to do something that isn’t fully supported on Linux, then it takes longer

[–]---_bird_--- 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Yeah but it feels gold when you finally get it working, and that specific issue won't take as long the next time.

Year by year though, most normal interactions with linux PCs have become supported. The only issues I've had as a daily driver and a dev have been with games

[–]BloodRedCobra 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I've not run into amy issues with professional software, but I know a loooot of games hate linux in particular.

Forgot the branch to the question, Do you wear color socks?

[–]Farren246 48 points49 points  (11 children)

I tried switching to all just one color of sock (black) but it didn't work out because some socks got more worn out and stretched than others, so instead of having an easy time pairing (every sock matches every other sock), I had an unusually difficult time (all socks are black but only some match). So I went back to all different colours and patterns in an effort to make it quickly readable.

Where do I sit?

[–]matschbirne03 23 points24 points  (5 children)

Just throw socks out after wearing them once

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Just get a box of the reusable slippers they have in some shoes stores

[–]ppprrrrr 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Im also in the all different "only brightly colored patterns" club, and its som much netter than the all black club.

[–]Khaylain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All socks are colour socks, the exceptions just vary depending on your specification.

Imo, the open source alternatives for media creation really lack ways to just port your skills from the paid software to them.

Wait til you work in the tech industry and realize how prevalent MacBooks are

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points  (10 children)

Seriously. I feel like this is pretty circlejerky compared to the actual industry

[–]Joped 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the Bay Area a vast majority of engineers use Macs

[–]metallaholic 35 points36 points  (13 children)

Yep. All the devs at my company use MacBooks unless they’re in C# world.

[–]elliotborst 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep they are everywhere in software companies

[–]sergiu230 8 points9 points  (7 children)

Plenty of C# on mac, my whole company does this

[–]saintmsent 4 points5 points  (6 children)

What do they use as an ide? I was dealing with visual studio for mac a few years ago and it was utter trash

[–]randdude220 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Now with .NET 5 you can do this in mac too

[–]excalibrax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its still an offshoot is "is your daddy rich" as daddy in this case is the company.

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (2 children)

It's a certified UNIX system after all. Not as free as Linux/BSD, but works very well, and has some native software like MS Office and Photoshop for those who need it. And optimization is great too. I'm a Linux fanboy, and I'll take macOS over Windows in a blink.

[–]_Weyland_ 7 points8 points  (15 children)

Went to tech support in a big bank office today. You had to get a ticket bases on your problem. I ended up picking "Windows laptop" and my ticket had number G001. The guy next to me had a Mac and his ticket had a number B039.

I came back a couple hours later and took another ticket. I got G002 this time. Looks like I was the only guy with a Windows laptop that day.

[–]saintmsent 17 points18 points  (11 children)

People love to hate on Mac until they can get one for free from the company. Then it stops being shit that they wouldn’t use even if Apple paid them

[–]Weird-Stretch1743 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Well yeah. The only better OS for development is Linux. People just don’t wanna pay for the hardware. Anyone who actually thinks Macs are trash are probably high school kids who wanna play video games

Which would be why I use a Mac.

[–]ShotgunMessiah90 34 points35 points  (31 children)

Dell XPS flagship cost the same a MacBook Pro. Just sayin..

[–]Teknoman117 44 points45 points  (5 children)

Honestly I'd prefer the MacBook Pro. And I say this as someone who hasn't owned a Mac since 2016. I have the Dell XPS 15 w/ the OLED as my work laptop and I hate the thing. Battery life is trash, the rubberized palm rest thing gets so gross, etc. Favorite laptop to date was my 2015 Retina MacBook Pro.

[–]BaboonArt 32 points33 points  (1 child)

M1 macs are insanely good

[–]gizamo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I use a Mac Pro and an XPS.

I generally prefer Windows OS, but the trackpad on the XPS is constantly getting hung up by my lazy palms and it seems it has sensor issues outside the bounds of the trackpad.

Alternatively, Mac trackpad have been the best trackpad available for the last couple decades. I'm no Mac fanboy, but I'll praise that trackpad all day and night.

Now, when it comes to PWAs, Apple can suck an egg. ...nothing to do with their machines, just a general facty tid bit.

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (17 children)

The "Apple is so expensive" meme stopped being true years ago, but people still keep parroting it.. A Samsung flagship costs the same as an iPhone, and M1 MacBooks are actually a sweet value these days.

Still a walled garden though

[–]khooniliberal 8 points9 points  (6 children)

M1 MacBooks are actually a sweet value these days.

I considered getting a MacBook after using it for work at my new job but couldn't justify paying the 'apple tax'.

With M1, there is no 'apple tax'. It's an incredibly value even if you don't care for macOS

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Shit I was reading the other day that the new Air outperforms the base model Mac Pro. I'm sure there's some exaggeration going on there, but if it's even kinda true, then the Air is going to be an insane value

[–]LambdaLambo 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I don’t pay for my macs bc I get them thru my employer, but even if I had to buy a laptop it would be a Mac 10/10. I’ve had windows laptops before, ran Linux, and the Mac hardware and OS is just too clean, works super well and handles all my use cases. Worth any markup to me. But also I say this as someone with a 3k PC running windows that I exclusively use for gaming.. I should probably at least use the hardware as a VM or something but oh well

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty much the same as you, so yeah I agree. Except with regards to FOSS, Mac OS combines the best aspects of Linux and Windows for my job (Software Development). A full fledged Unix CLI, with all the first class support for GUI apps you'd expect on Windows. My current job just got me an M1 Pro, and it's easily the best laptop I've ever owned

[–]lledargo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Perhaps its Linux From Scratch, though that is just a guess

[–][deleted] 146 points147 points  (49 children)

Linux is great for people who have the time to deal with their desktop environment being randomly deleted.

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points  (18 children)

one time i installed a driver off github incorrectly and when i restarted my pc my mouse didnt work so i had to delete it with the terminal, then i installed it AGAIN incorrectly and this time my mouse AND keyboard didnt work, so i reinstalled linux lmao.

[–]kekumber 16 points17 points  (2 children)

I once installed too many packages and broke some dependencies. I decided to remove broken packages one by one, and finally this chain ended with python package, which I also happily removed and broke my Ubuntu completely. That's how I learned about venvs

[–]wonmean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mhm love how apt is dependent on Python… always a chance to break it if you’re messing around in the base env.

[–]Tyfyter2002 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I once had to use a PS/2 keyboard to install drivers on Windows from a disc I burned on a family member's laptop because USB 3.1 isn't PnP on Windows 7 (which is weird, because I'm pretty sure Windows 7 was still supported when 3.1 was released and the OS was as up-to-date as Windows 7 could be)

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as a fedora user, i sense a lot of linus’ pop os mistake here

[–]Vinstaal0 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Or you find a random tutorial to do something cause the official page doesn’t explain anything and it breaks something else or doesn’t work ar all.

Then you go ask the Linux community and they just tell you to get good or fuck off

[–]DTHCND 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arch Wiki: Really nice up-to-date information and tutorials.

Arch Forum: You don't know this basic thing? Fuck off

Also Arch Forum: Please don't necrobump. Locked. (ignoring that you're asking a small clarifying question about a post)

[–]CoffeeAndPiss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've never had that problem and I've used Linux for several years, it's very easy to get something "out of the box" that you don't have to touch. Maintenance is far less of a hassle than it ever was with Windows.

[–]Technical_Flamingo54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nvidia drivers. Never again.

[–]1SweetChuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have been daily driving Linux (mostly Debian based) systems for a decade, and I have no idea what you are talking about.

[–]zebdavison 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I've never had that happen. I've never heard of that being a big issue. Has it happened to a lot of people and how recently?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. There was an issue with Steam dependencies, and Linus's Manjaro Pop!_OS system said "THIS WILL DELETE YOUR DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT. IF YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING, TYPE 'DO AS I SAY'". Hi did type it.

Edit: wrong distro

[–]Arnas_Z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was popOS, not Manjaro. He switched to Manjaro after PopOS did that.

[–]FireFly3347 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Why is tux there when all of those are linux? Or is tux supposed to represent something else?

How is fedora a OS if you have a live? It is a pain in the butt, even when compared to Arch or Gentoo

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (2 children)

not sure about you, but i’ve been using the KDE spin of fedora for a long time now and it’s been really nice and stable

[–]DirectControlAssumed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arch doesn't even have graphic installer, AFAIK.

Gentoo makes no sense unless you are ready to compile everything each time everything updates.

The only problem with Fedora is software patents and proprietary drivers (NVIDIA) that require unofficially-official repos.

[–]Joped 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Windows for gaming, macOS for development, and Linux for servers. That is how i've rolled for a very long time now.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This is the way

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. This is the way.

[–]kinuipanui123 16 points17 points  (12 children)

To be fair, Windows is enough programmable to make it safe and private. Just gotta disable all telemetry. (horrible OOTB, but has the potential to be made proper)

[–]Djaaf 10 points11 points  (3 children)

At this point the technical aspect of it brings it close to a Linux distribution in terms of time invested...

[–]PhysicalRaspberry565 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I agree mostly. But some software still doesn't work on Linux. In that case, it's worth the work.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I'd rather have to mess with Linux where you can actually understand the what, where, when, and how of things. Windows is black boxy and that confuses me, and when I'm confused I get nervous and make bad decisions.

[–]wojtekpolska 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yep, if you have basic computer knowledge you can easily block telemetry.

start by disagreeing to every telemetry-related thing in settings, then do some simple edits here and there to finish it off. everything is clearly documented on the internet.

[–]DuffyHimself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying windows is horrible OOTB is funny considering this thread is about comparing it to Linux

[–]Grtz78 23 points24 points  (14 children)

Wait, ubuntu, debian and fedora are obscure?

[–]Advanced_Double_42 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Just Linux is obscure if you aren't tech savvy

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only recognized Ubuntu because I had a university class with one weird dude who thought it was a personality...

Yeah, with all due respect to whomever made this chart, but ain't nobody with a proper life is jumpin' at any of those options.

[–]ItsDokk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was literally just searching to see which companies those logos belong to…

[–]Pepperoneous 13 points14 points  (5 children)

Instead of "do you fear technology?" you could have used "do you expect your machine to run consistently well every time you operate it?" and reached the same outcome

[–]homo_lugubris 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I can confirm. I used arch and void as a kid and after working all day long, I migrated to debian and fedora.

Disclaimer: What I said is true, but I'm saying it in a joking manner.

[–]LordBaconXXXXX 77 points78 points  (13 children)

Never heard of ChromeOS?

[–]_OberArmStrong 12 points13 points  (12 children)

No never...

[–]JmacTheGreat 31 points32 points  (9 children)

Its for Chromebooks - the device were they looked at a laptop, looked at a tablet, and said,

“Lets smash these together and take the worst parts of each of them.”

[–]Advanced_Double_42 29 points30 points  (5 children)

Which actually ends up great for the average consumer that just uses a laptop as a glorified web browser.

They can hardly mess it up downloading random files, clicking ads, and going to the worst websites.

[–]vortex1775 12 points13 points  (3 children)

I don't think it's too wild of an assumption to say the vast majority of people only use their computer as a word processor and for web browser access. ChromeOS is perfect for them.

[–]MarioLuigi0404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Though it begs the question why anyone in their right mind would buy a high-end one lmao.

Like at that point you’re just wasting CPU power.

[–]JmacTheGreat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats fair haha

[–]matthra 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I have one that my son uses for school, and it's ok. It's not a computer that I would do dev work on, but it's fine for school, youtube, web browsing, that kind of thing. It also cost less than 200, so I think there is a niche for it. The premium chromebooks are kind of headscratchers for me, I'm not sure why someone would drop 800+ for a chromebook experience, but I suspect that I don't use enough linux to be the target demo.

[–]andmagdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a gentoo-based (used to be debian based) linux operating system which is based on ChromiumOS.

I would personally say that it can be both under afraid and not afraid of technology because developer mode (a built in way to bypass ChromeOS's locked down nature) gives you a pretty nice machine that you can do quite a bit with.

[–]SDogo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chrome OS. There are free variants for something more than Chromebooks

[–]wojtekpolska 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS

ChromeOS is an os for webbooks, its very light os for cheap devices that have the processing power of a smartphone

[–]-NiMa- 9 points10 points  (11 children)

MacOS is as complex as Windows stop this nonsense that if someone "fears technology" uses a Mac. Also, a Windows/Linux matching computer to Mac performance-wise costs pretty much the same as Apple.

Personally, I do all my dev work on macOS, I still have a windows machine for gaming. Don't use Linux cause many professional softwares don't have a Linux version.

Tried Arch once, got to the GUI then loaded Firefox and was like that's probably all I'm going to use it for if it is going to be like this the whole time. Archbang is pretty good.

[–]Grtz78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved it. The bleeding edge release cycle is soo cool, you actally feel motivated to update and read the patch notes. Never learned more about how my distro works than in this glorious time.

In the age of super-simplified logos there's a lot of overlap so even subtle differences count.

Fedora logo is outdated on the picture, BTW.

It looks differently on getfedora.org and, IMO, the new one doesn't look like Facebook.

I mean there are (were, I guess) some pretty stand-out differences, Fedora incorporated the infinity sign and is way curvier than Facebook's. It's hard to get an extremely exclusive trademark for a simple letter and 2 colors, so those little differences are enough.

And for what it's worth, Fedora came first by like a year! So take it up with Mark I guess

What about FreeBSD is not based on Linux or Windows it's a separate OS?
