Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Arch Linux? I got a pamphlet and reading material for you.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Yes, a 3000 page pamphlet
No no, all you'd ever get from an Arch user is single postit that says "got a question? RTFM!"
Source: I use Arch btw
Those bricks are laid incredibly poorly, look at all those gaps
Typical Windows app 🧌
AND at least 2 of them are already cracked!
In german we don't say shitty brick wall, we say 'Landhauscharme' and I think it's beautiful.
Thank you!
My first thought was, this is incredibly bad bricklaying, there's so much missing mortar and uneven alignment.
This is hilarious.
My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.
ALL ABOARD THE WINDOWS SUX COX TRAIN! CHOO CHOO MFs!!

I enjoy Linux memes.
But not when the only joke they can muster being "Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]"
Okay, but windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.
I don’t hate windows as much as I hate Microsoft.
ReactOS is a cool project and I hope it goes somewhere.
ReactOS is dead and will go nowhere.
The reason I say this is that I've been following them for something like 15+ years by this point, and they haven't made any perceptible progress in that time. They're at exactly the same point now where they were 15 years ago.
Edge isn't a bad browser. However it's based on Chromium so using it just feeds into the Chromium monopoly.
Firefox or Safari is the only way.
Try to understand, not everyone likes windows. They require quite a bit of maintenance, are usually insecure and speaking personally, some setups just don't look good. It's why some people opt for skylights instead.
Honestly windows is so slow at this point, we just use door. Why waste all that energy and power just to get the thing off the ground when alternatives exist?
Windows bad, give Internet points!
Hell no it ain't
It's Chrome, but Microsoft. So no it's not good but not because of speed or technical quality.
.world really is the Reddit of lemmy smdh my damn head.
Come to Linux mountain charrrleeee
Well that's a fucking reference i don't expect to see. It may be time to check those vids again unless they got taken down
Yeah? You also like touching rusty spoons?
I don't have a problem with Edge itself. We use it at work and it's fine. I have a problem with microsoft constantly trying to trick me into using it among all their other shitty practices.
I like the memes, but that's it. I use Linux, sure, but I also have to use Windows for a few programs because WINE doesn't work with said programs, and the alternatives aren't the best
With that being said, would I prefer Linux to be mainstream? Yes. Will it ever be? Probably not. Too many people just want something that works out of the box and don't want to spend hours fixing some obscure bug.
I am a nerd. Therefore, I am okay spending time working on my machine and making sure everything runs well. I have previously looked at an OS that doesn't seem to work or is starting to have issues and completely swap to a different distro using a base I have used and know will work 100% of the time
Will it ever be? Probably not.
[Android has entered the chat.]
Yes. I know that's not what you meant. You meant desktop. But then desktop is slightly less relevant than it was maybe 10 or 15 years ago
When it comes to browsing the web and showing content and having good add-ons, edge does a good job.
But why does it need to constantly advertise itself and other microsoft things to me? It's annoying when Firefox does this, but it feels like edge does it almost every time I open it.
just block me now then I don't have any other personality traits
I mean I know people who are still trying to find bypasses to get around Microsoft and their online only strategy.
If you're still doing this, you.need to try Linux.
To be honest I'd still be on Windows if MS hadn't screwed me out of the license I bought through the MS store and attached to my MS account. I do kinda miss the new Bing assistant in Edge, that was neat to screw around with for free while I was on that OS
Okay but hear me out, Linux.
Since you asked, I recommend Fedora.
