linux rule

Why would someone recommend an OS that everyone already uses?

Why would someone recommend an OS that sucks
- You don't know a bad OS until you've tried something like TempleOS
- Hey, don’t talk about Linux like that, no matter how true it is!
Everyone obviously uses Linux, but does everyone use arch?
- Not enough. Spread the word.
Hey Steve, have you considered wearing pants?

Background Penguin in speedo looks on disapprovingly
- There's this great new invention. It's called soap. Have you heard of it?

This meme is so old I can see the crust on it

The demotivational format is one I'm thankful to be rid of. They were good for like 5 days when they would actually parody the original posters. But then it was years of it being an absurdly awkward caption format
- The actual posters were great! Its that exact kind of cynicism I find refreshing.

I've used Linux since 1996 and don't recommend it to anyone. They might want help with something.

This is what I call wisdom right here 👆
- The best lessons are the hardest

I use arch btw

If you ever get these after a contacting customer care, here is how they work:

10/10: ok. No need to reprimand employee

9/10: acceptable every now and then

Anything less than 9/10: talk to employee about their low performance and lacking commitment

This applies to all questions asked, including “how is the weather?” and “did you sleep well tonight?”

So here is how I answer, knowing how it works:

Employee helped me or at least tried to (and was hindered by company bullshit): 10/10, no exception. Yes, I will sacrifice my firstborn on your corporate altar and will build a shrine to your CEO in my bedroom. Of course I will recommend [product] and to anyone and everyone I will ever meet and praise [company] with my dying breath.

Mediocre service: no reply

Truly awful service, employee was a dick: 2-4/10, so it does not look like petty revenge, but is still bad

Here's how I do it:

I don't reply. That's it.
Why even have a 1 to 10 scale then
- You have more understanding of this situation than the brainless executives demanding that the survey be included.
I hate that

On the occasion I don't give a 5 or 10 or whatever is the max I explain in the comments that n is perfection and very difficult to achieve but n-1 is still very good, but I also never give less than max to the employee, I apply your same logic (disregard the survey)

If you think Linux users I'm general are like this, wait until you encounter Arch Linux users.

- I can install Arch blindfolded without archinstall, but I don't think it is the superior option.
  
  It is either unstable or maintenance-heavy, depending on how you treat it, compared to other distributions.
  
  It is bleeding-edge though, and pretty memory-effective and speedy.
- With NixOS on the rise, I'm not sure how much longer this remains the case. Haven't tried it yet, though.
- I mostly use windows and arch, but i think debian is pretty based
- Arch is a great os, great wiki, great packages. But it expects the user to do everything themselves. Which is something that not everyone wants to do, which is fair
  
  I use arch btw (im new to it lol)

as a linux user i can confirm that is true. even though i use ubuntu. in fact this very comment proves it.

Linux users.... The vegans of IT.

And just like the real world, as annoying as vegans are, they ultimately are ideologically right
- Eh... both are questionable. Morally superior, maybe, but definitely not right.
- as annoying as vegans are, they ultimately are ideologically right
  
  about what?
So majority keep it to themselves, and those who aren't vegans bother them about being vegan?
- But a VERY loud minority then.

Friend always talks about talking about linux with girls, acts weird and stuff. Its so dramatic, I wonder if he is being sarcastic. On the other hand, he is the only person I know outside of the internet who talks about linux while using a windows laptop as a daily driver

Damn, I used to be that guy too (the one who talks about Linux whilst using Windows). I actually posted my Windows rice as a Linux rice in unixporn a while ago…it really did look like Linux.

I use NixOS now, but I keep Windows on a separate drive in case I ever need it.
haha that second part is hilarious

I use Linux btw.

Gimp is great and free btw.

I can just compress that video with a single command btw.

You want to resize that image? Let me pull up a terminal. This is Linux btw.

( Even though not all of us are using Arch, we all have little Arch trolls inside us)

windows is shit

i use windows btw

Windows is shit

I use Linux btw
- Linux is shit
  
  I use GNU/Hurd btw

I love my purple Arch, and I will indeed recommend it to people

BS, everyone always talks about the latest version of windows as if 98 isn't the template all modern guis start with.

Me personally, tho, only run ME.

This isn’t true either, because when I’ve built computers in the past, we go over which OS is trash.

And since when recommending operating system is weird? People recommend YouTube channels, productivity apps, TV shows, tech gadgets... Recommending something that is second most popular thing is not weird.

I got a friend who was constantly downloading shit from shady "gratis" software sites injecting adware. Because of common reinstalling I had to do for him I had to create second partition for his personal files to not constantly transfer them back and forth the USB disk. But then he struggle to manage his files, because I couldn't just put his /home directory on separate logical volume, no. Windows required him to juggle files around C: and D: drives with fixed sizes and with Desktop and Downloads being on C: anyway. People using Btrfs or LVM know what I am talking about. As he mostly used a browser, LibreOffice and games from Steam/Epic, why I shouldn't suggest him another OS?

Another example can be my grandpa with older computer (talking 2GB of RAM) that is perfectly happy with lightweight but modern system. Or my nephew who loves playing with painting programs, webcam and Minesweeper-like games without additional popups or TikTok shortcuts being placed in app menu.

This is like when I download an app for work or other such function and they ask me to rate. RANDOM PEOPLE WOULD GET NO USE OUT OF THIS APP, WHY ARE YOU ASKING IF ID RECOMMEND THIS APP?

I butt chug Panera charged lemonade, by the way.

"Bro but OSX has Final Cut Pro and is the end all be all of music production!"

when a product is better, people recommend it

that's cause they are special:)))

linyx has become all I ever tslk about

someone's never been on slashdot back in the day

Can confirm. I use ~~arch~~ nixos btw
