“Is that like Jesus?”
“No, it’s not like Christianity at all. Nobody who’s ever talked about Arch has ever gotten nailed”
Obviously only real linux users use Void, you can tell because they have the best OS-Chan mascot.
Nonsense...real linux users use Slackware. Why bother with all these fancy new distros when the original is still going strong?
Obligatory:
Real Linux users actually compile linux from scratch without a network connection and just the linux from scratch cd.
I'd likely believe you since I was doing the same thing. That, and my buddy was running a MUD on a Slackware server so I had someone to bug when I hit a wall.
Not entirely the same. nix is a build-tool, package manager and DSL. NixOS is the OS built on top of that. https://nixlang.wiki/ explains it
it's still new for gentoo users who started installing that day and decided to go with openoffice from source.
Can't wait until Windows 12 or whatever comes out and Windows 11 magically becomes the go-to version.
I'll be honest at this point in my life anthing that pops up it gets a 1 simply for annoying me.
I'm never randomly recommending anything unless asked and if I do when asked specifically about it the app owners sure as shit don't need to know about it
Honestly all the app owners need to know is why a customer is dissatisfied. If the app is actually good the recommendations will come naturally.
I don't disagree but when I get asked to give it a rating 2 mins after installing they can fick right off.
Thanks to bots and shills ratings mean nothing.
In most cases I just stop using something as its not as useful as i thought or just boring bugging me in this manner just makes me actively hate it.
Well yeah that's why the only sensible place for such a survey is in the uninstaller (no popup browser tab please) with a big fat "Skip" option. Let's people with actual feedback give that feedback while people who don't want to can skip. Corpo can then evaluate if the product lands well by the rate of installed/uninstalled/left feedback.
But yeah modern day surveys are absolute garbage and annoying in like 99/100 cases
In the modern age it seems sensible has gone right out the window. It almost feels like it's your fault you hate their product rather than it being shit.
Information has lost all value and I just don't want to play anymore
This even funnier now that they've come full circle to shutting down Windows 10 - Our Last Operating System!
I let a friend try out Linux after I've been using it for years and they were shocked how much easier some things are. I think the idea of throwing them into a like Windows distro is the wrong direction. I'm ready POP OS's new desktop whenever it comes out.
It's been a hot minute since I ran SuSE (before it was OpenSuSE) but since I'm distrohopping lately I might have to give it a go.
You guys should try Kali Linux with KDE Plasma. I'm really enjoying it. It's so easily customizable.
I have recently started using KDE and so far i like it after years of XFCE on slower pc. And every now and then I think about switching to some debian based distro but AUR spoiled me and now I am too lazy. Its great that with my setuo I can change distros and have working OS in under an hour with all my software already setup.
KDE ran much smoother with the same resources on my desktop, I regret not switching sooner.
Causally recommending linux and shutting down inane tech support questions aren't the same thing. If I get asked: "X feature stopped working in the newest macOS. What do I do?" I tell them the truth: "I switched to linux to get the feature back."
I feel called out here lol. Granted, I've only recommended it to people I know who complained about the performance of windows. Linux is so much more optimised
Well, did you know I'm vegetarian and used to run Arch? If you could show me your fridge and computer, please, I'll fix them for you!
This answer is stupid. I don't think it's unusual for a non-tech savvy friend who heard about Linux to ask for an opinion.
I think it is unusual. As a software engineer who has a large circle of friends, loads of them know I use Linux, but literally no one cares or is curious about knowing more. And honestly I'm not interested in explaining. We talk about and do other things lol. I sometimes talk about differences and news about both with those who have jobs or interests closer to the IT business, and we have a short conversation about those news, but nobody asks me about Linux, and especially not Windows. It's not interesting.
