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

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

We destroy ourselves. Lol

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 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 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 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 8 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 11 points 8 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 8 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 8 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

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] kalpol@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, OpenSUSE keeps rolling along, ignored

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

That's because it's not RHEL 😂.

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 8 months ago (1 children)

No excuses, get a pi and stick in there!

[–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 8 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

Me: "I use Arch btw!"

Still gets shot

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

Arch user! Burn him!

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 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 8 months ago (3 children)

Ubuntu server is fine relax

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 months ago

Just use Debian

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 8 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 8 months ago

Desktop distro is almost ok for server usage.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

grabs gun GIVE ME BACK MY LINUX MINTS

[–] herrwoland@lemmy.world 2 points 8 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 8 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 8 months ago

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