"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux.

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Manjaro's Linux Quotes Colloection exists. Redbubble also has some bangers.

OP seemed to have missed the gender part of that meaning

What is so flabbergasting about someone not knowing the full meaning of a word?

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Wtf is "Wow." supposed to mean in this case?

You're pretty save without an Antivirus on Linux (we're just 3%, not worth it for hackers), but if you need to check files, VirusTotal is your friend.

Nemo should be enough for your purposes, and probably looks better on GNOME than Dolphin

Fellas is sexist? I know it's male gendered, but how is that sexist?

There's nothing wrong with Manjaro

That's not quite right.

life happens

Impossible! Everyone knows Arch users don't have a life. /j

But damn you have a pretty computer free life if you can go weeks between usage.
