Hello Mrs. and Mr. Johnson. I use arch btw
Ah fuck
If you're a CrossFitter who uses Linux, which do you tell people about first?
That you are vegan of course
That you don’t eat meat.
How you retired at 30
Because Bitcoin
But he kept taking about foss, though
It's an OS, not a lifestyle.
Insert GNU/Linux copypasta here.

Nope. I'm balls deep.
When her parents are BSD users...
The most unbelievable thing about this meme is that linux nerd has a hot cat girlfriend.
Srry but u are just as undatable as Typescript or react developers - they just gonna keep learning new frameworks that do exactly the same thing spending all the time they have while ignoring the hot gf until she just dumps you for some plumber.
This really grinds my gears especially when working with the junior devs. They are always preaching about this new hot library and tried to refactor the whole app based on this cool article written by some well known developer. When I asked about their reasoning behind the chance they're only able to link the blogpost made saying that X is bad and Y is the way going forward. I asked them what situation where they actually cannot solve an issue using X in a project and whether they can prove that using Y is the panacea for all of our woes, they all go silent.
Afterwards I always tell them it's fine to look for new ways to do things. But before you go to try to propose such a big change at least write some PoC demonstrating the strength of the new thing when they have some downtime.
agree 100%
have also noticed an uptick in "new is always better, those old ways are so dumb and they were so stupid" mindset.
not sure if this is directly part of the reason, but the upshot is you don't need to learn the fundamentals. you're protected from learning how things actually work, because there's always a bloaty house of cards chain of libraries to keep you separated from reality.
and of course its always easier to write off all of the fundamentals as 'pointless old garbage', than actually challenge yourself with any of it.
then you can enjoy a false sense of superiority, not because you overcame anything, but by never even trying.
"undefeated", not because you ever won, but because you never fought.
and its not the "kids these day's" fault. training institutions are corrupted by greedy suits, its all about the $$$s and pumping unprepared grads out at a blinding rate is more profitable (short term).
well i am the hot girlfriend and the linux nerd so idk what to tell you.. maybe it's your hygene
What are you supposed to talk aboot then?

Uh, she told me that she and her family used Linux first...
Another meme for Linux memes in the regular memes community. Lemmy is so fucking one note.
you sound like a win*ows user
I keep a Windows install around because of CoD Warzone not having anticheat support on Linux but I have multiple Linux machines. Two Fedora and one for Kali but I've considered just making that a persistent bootable and putting mint with xfce as a DE on that machine instead.
I just snagged a recycled slim client from work and was going to test out EndeavorOS on it since I've heard good things about it's resource use compared to bare minimum Arch installs with much less user hassle.
Which distro do you daily drive?
Right now Nobara (Fedora based) on my gaming laptop but was curious about Endeavor and planned on testing it out on a POS slim client from 2012 that I just got. Steam deck just has stock SteamOS.
My main desktop is still windows because I play CoD warzone a lot with friends and that's still a complete non factor for ricochet anticheat but if they fixed that I'd probably move off of it entirely assuming i could get my peripherals/davinci resolve/stream Labs/oceanaudio all working and get used to GIMP/Krita instead of Paint3D.
So yeah there's a few reasons I stick with windows, plus I like to keep up to date since I work IT networking and we are a windows shop primarily.
