    Linux users are famous for e-peen measuring and tearing each other down.

    [–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

    We destroy ourselves. Lol

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, but that also kind of drives us to be better at it 🤔... kinda...

    Still, I do agree, a dose of it is OK, but constantly, no.

    "BE BETTER AT HAVING DIFFERENT SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCES" - some Linux guy probably

    [–] waigl@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    "The Pianist" (2002), btw. In case anyone didn't know and was wondering.

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

    Adrian Brody's best performance if you ask me.

    Ubuntu is fine as a gateway drug imo. It hasn't made the best decisions over time though, but I appreciate it's contribution regardless.

    I have old history with Linux and am just coming back. I did my first test build for my office to get away from the dying Windows 10/avoiding 11. I went with a basic Linux Mint cinnamon build, got our network printer and core software working. Will you let me live?

    [–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Yes, but you better be installing arch on your toaster by next week.

    [–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    I went to install Arch and it did not seem easy. I opted for Cinnamon Mint.

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Try Void it has an installer 😉.

    Kidding, stick to Mint until you feel ready you can take a bigger bite. And do opt for the Debian Edition Mint.

    [–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Not to sound condescending, but I'd like to caution against this language. Mint is a perfectly fine OS to run permanently and never look back, and you absolutely can take a bigger bite while never having to install another OS. Distros are for the most part just a jumping off point and a set of defaults.

    I agree though, LMDE stronk

    I said I was kidding 😉. If he likes Mint, sure, stick to whatever rocks your boat ☺️.

    Meanwhile, OpenSUSE keeps rolling along, ignored

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

    That's because it's not RHEL 😂.

    [–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    Nah, as an arch user most people don't likely need it. Mints a great option. No matter what you do with arch (even endeavor) there'll always be alot of setup, by design, and with how fast things move they'll break commonly. Like the grub issue a bit back, or the kernal that could have caused screens to die, or more recently the nvidia drivers forcing many screens to be stuck at one brightness.

    I love arch, it's a testing bed for the linux ecosystem. The first place where things exit beta and interact with each other in the wild. It's definitly not what most people want for a computer though especially not for work. That's why I duel boot with OpenSuse tumbleweed for my contract work (also, separating work and regular life makes things easier but that's not relevent)

    My toaster is electromechanical. No µC / mutable memory available. Not even a manual switch (turn on/off using the wall switch). So no arch there unless I swap some components. I use EndeavourOS with DWM on one of my VMs, though.

    Do I get to live?

    [–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    No excuses, get a pi and stick in there!

    [–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 10 months ago

    I'd have a toasted pi every-time I ran it. Talk about expensive sandwiches.

    "Installing Linux on a Dead Badger" is an actual book. https://archive.org/details/installinglinuxo0000snyd/mode/1up

    I hope you mean LMDE mint

    Me: "I use Arch btw!"

    Still gets shot

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

    Arch user! Burn him!

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

    Why they shoot him? With ak's No, no

    He need one of these

    1000006663

    We need to make sure to get rid of them snaps

    [–] Dra@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Ubuntu server is fine relax

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

    Just use Debian

    [–] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

    Yeah no

    Netplan and the default systemd network dependency can screw off

    Doesn't even come with ufw enabled

    [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 10 months ago

    Desktop distro is almost ok for server usage.

    grabs gun GIVE ME BACK MY LINUX MINTS

    [–] herrwoland@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (19 children)

    Why is Ubuntu getting so much hate? it was a good entrance for many people into the Linux world

    [–] CatTrickery@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    It started when they started including Amazon sponsored results in the menu search really. These days using apt occasionally will install a snap package instead of a deb. It doesn't give people a good jumping on point and it teaches that linux is more difficult than it has to be.

    [–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

    Ubuntu's use of Snap made me go back to Arch.
