I have been a Linux user since 1995. Anyone that thinks that Linux is invulnerable is just silly.

Eight years old and still hits home for the most part. Nowadays though, what I get is mostly “we’re moving to Azure” from clients that have no business in the cloud. Some environments are just not possible to move to a cloud environment without a redesign from scratch.

See that Pop!_OS? It me.

LDME/Cinnamon

Which edition of Mint?

I see that it is also a hard drive.

Is it too much to ask for the days when my system was nothing but a prompt in which I may or may not type “startx”?

Obviously vi.

Heathen!

Oh, I’ll bore you to death talking about stuff, just not Linux.

Me, avoiding that hornets nest.

Definitely next to Linux guy. I’ve been working on Linux since very early days, so I don’t talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole “ummmm…actually”.

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a wonderful self-hosting platform.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

My first choice is Pop!_OS because my graphics cards are NVidia, but you said that you don’t like their DE. My second choice is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It is boring and stable and gets out of your way.

I use a Mac for Adobe and music production. Windows for when I need Office app features only found in the Windows desktop versions (looking at you Excel), an occasional game (very rare) and for some corporate clients. TBF, corporate clients with Windows requirements nowadays just ship us laptops configured by them. For everything else, Linux.

I have been using Linux since Red Hat Halloween (~1995). I use Windows. I use Linux. I use Mac. I use the best tool for the specific job.

I’ve been running Linux for almost thirty years. Back in the day i would customize everything. Now I basically install and run it stock.
