Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone “correcting” you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.

This made me laugh so hard I down voted five times before I could hit the up vote button

Ahhh, my brain just farted on that one. It’s obvious once you tell me lol

They aren’t pronounced the same? I’ve never heard the distro’s name spoken

Ahh, I see, you’re just being a dick troll. Sorry to have bothered you

Steam client?

Homie, you moving goalposts like crazy there. Go back and look at your meme

Horse shit. Whoever actually made this meme doesn’t match with the actual usage of proprietary at all. You could maybe shoehorn this usage into it, but it would be like shoving a sasquatch into high heels in size 6; it just doesn’t fit.

It’s a meme, so it’s whatever, but it’s so far from reality it isn’t funny, it doesn’t work.

Damn! That’s sweet!

Yeah, I had hoped with proton and whatnot, it would be a solved thing. Hell, it may be, but I’m fine using what I’ve got until it dies, so I only check about once a year.

Ubuntu. Back when win 10 was announced and all the bullshit started.

But unity was definitely not my thing, and I tried a handful of other distros on my dad’s old computer. I figured if I could get a decent functionality on that, I’d be able to comfortably use whatever I settled on for a decent box.

Mint with cinnamon is where I settled. Cinnamon or plasma are perfect for my wants, and mint being debian related makes software damn easy to get going fast. What’s not to like about that? I tried it with dual boot on my gaming box at the time, and then when I set up a newer box, I went straight mint. Now, the old one is my air gapped media machine running win7 because fuck life without musicbee.

Everything else is on mint except my kid’s gaming laptop (which is an oxymoron imo, but whatever) because they’re unwilling to try anything else, and my dad’s current but ancient box running 11 and being nearly useless because of that. But he’s damn near 80, so he can do whatever he wants short of shitting on the dinner table.

Beared? Did you mean borne, or were you having fun playing with words?

Because I like the idea of bearing a joke, which would mean a big ol’ bear stands behind the person telling it with a menacing grin, waiting for it to bomb.

Jfc!

Can Linux be used as a sex toy?

Yeah, legit, I’ve messed around with this kind of thing before, and I wouldn’t attempt to run lemmy myself. Major pain in the ass.

Don’t forget us dyslexics though! Cli is rough on that, but gui tends to avoid the errors a typo can cause.

I swear, having to copy/paste stuff in terminal to avoid typing the damn commands five times is way less convenient.

I get it, Linux veterans love the terminal because it is efficient and capable. But there’s multiple reasons for a gui interface for common tasks, accessibility being the biggest.

Is that really a thing? I don’t usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven’t seen any general vibe at all.

Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they’re both very geared towards a more general user that’s going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are “basic” like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and “hackiness”.

I’m not being a smartass, I just don’t really know if there’s more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.

What’s kinda funny is that the Christian version relies on faith in an outside authority to make moral decisions.

I mean, android is fine I guess, but it’s being pushed to be less and less able to be separated from Google. I think for a lot of people interested in self hosting, there’s a low amount of interest in it because of that.

Jfc, how did they film me?

Gee, I must have imagined writing a novel on a laptop running Linux, with nothing giving any trouble at all.

I guess my imagination is even better than I thought!

Sadly, that means that the second novel I’m halfway through must be imaginary too. A shame to have imagined that much imagining.

Seriously, that’s just this laptop, it doesn’t count the ones on desktop before that, also on Linux.
