    β€œIs that like Jesus?”

    β€œNo, it’s not like Christianity at all. Nobody who’s ever talked about Arch has ever gotten nailed”

    No, you're probably thinking of Temple OS.

    High five for sexy time! 🫸🫷

    Oh now I understand :(

    What about burned on stake for witchcraft?

    Obviously only real linux users use Void, you can tell because they have the best OS-Chan mascot.

    [–] Bonehead@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Nonsense...real linux users use Slackware. Why bother with all these fancy new distros when the original is still going strong?

    [–] vexikron@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 years ago

    Obligatory:

    Real Linux users actually compile linux from scratch without a network connection and just the linux from scratch cd.

    [–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s

    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

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

    I just think more people should use Nix packages

    This was funny the first time I saw it, back when windows 10 came out.

    [–] Trollception@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Can't wait until Windows 12 or whatever comes out and Windows 11 magically becomes the go-to version.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

    No this meme is from 2018

    [–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

    This even funnier now that they've come full circle to shutting down Windows 10 - Our Last Operating System!

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Linux users aren't people ;)

    Man I really like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE you all should try it

    [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    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.

    [–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

    This is the reaction I get from people too. :)

    [–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I don't have a PC right now but I'm a Mint guy.

    [–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    "1994 or 2024" for 200$, Alex.

    [–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

    Both, obviously

    [–] Rognaut@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You guys should try Kali Linux with KDE Plasma. I'm really enjoying it. It's so easily customizable.

    [–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Ok I installed Kali now how do I hack?

    [–] amotio@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] ghostblackout@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    Yes pop!_OS is ok I don't like it that much but it is a good distro

    [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    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."

    [–] rockhandle@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

    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

    [–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Kind of reframes the whole being a vegetarian thing...

    [–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

    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!

    [–] space@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    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.

    [–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

    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.

    [–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 years ago

    If Lemmy is any example the "I use Linux" crowd is like "I'm a vegetarian".
