I know you’re not impressed that I use Ubuntu but it’s not Windows, and I can’t be bothered to learn a damn thing about how to operate a system.
If Ubuntu works for you then keep rocking it
Lubuntu brother reppin’
My poor 2011 laptop is begging for the sweet release of death, but not before Linux keeps performing CPR on it.
Shoots you and rolls you into the pit of bodies.
See? That’s that I’m talking about. Good ol’ red-blooded Linux user.
You’re not meant to operate the system. That’s what the operating system is for, silly
If Ubuntu works for you then that’s good. Don’t listen to the gatekeeping weenies who shit on people for not using arch or whatever. Most of them haven’t built their os from source and are just roleplaying having a unix beard.
My university had the head of cyber security for a bank over to talk about pen testing, and one of the questions he got was “What Linux distro do you use at home.” He said Ubuntu, because he wants a system that’s stable and has support. If it works, it works.
That’s Linux and I say it counts :3
I wish Linux distro devs would interview you about your experience. If the goal is wider adoption, we need to understand how to make it friendly for real. Your opinions are very valuable.
Switched to Mint recently and had 0 problems, took no effort to make the switch at all. I still have Windows if I need it, but why would I ever need it, Mint isn’t all that different from Windows, but better
One thing that bugs me on Mint is if i drag a URL from a browser onto the desktop, it makes me pick an icon from an atrocious icon pack rather than just giving it a default weblink icon of some kind.
I used to use ubuntu but stopped bc i couldnt really game without dual booting to windows anyway.
Would you recommend ubuntu now? I know linux gaming is in a much better place, it just wasnt user friendly as an OS back in 2010
I gamed on it when Proton magically made it so games I bought on Steam worked. Otherwise I just gamed on an Xbox before that. I only recently switched to popos, (still gaming on it). I started on Slackware 3.4 and switched to Ubuntu in 2006-2007. I think as long as you aren’t on the LTS version, you should be good. In any case, it’s not a permanent decision and seems like every distro is crazy fast at installing these days. Worth a go whatever you try or where ever you land.
I’m on Kubuntu and loving it. The most I’ve had to go for a game on steam is change a compatibility tool (literally right click and click a checkbox and dropdown). Final Fantasy XIV (MMO) was mostly straightforward, but I had very specific mods and 3rd party tools I wanted, but they all work still after going down a mostly straightforward rabbit hole. Not a lot of weirdness there, just learning how to mod on Linux.
boot
open librewolf
open neovim
code my silly lil’ Dreamcast stuff
close neovim
play quake arena
shutdown
What do you code for the Dreamcast?
I’m doing a small racing game inspired by Aerogauge(N64)
ATM its a proof-of-concept esque… demo… ish… thing, for the DreamDisc '25 jam But after the jam, do want to continue developing it and make it a full game
Would I be immediately shot if the answer is FreeBSD?
Never! BSD bros are fellow comrades in arms against the corpos.
BSDs get too little love imho. They have more potential of becoming complete, usable and safe OSs than most Linux distros. Wish they would be discovered/talked about as much as Linux this past year.
Nope, BSD is perfectly respectable
It being libre is what matters
I’m a nightmare for any IT department and software developer. I know enough to do damage, but don’t have the patience and knowledge to wield this power. I go around editing shit in random config files in order to “temporarily fix” an issue and then forget that I ever did it, slowly turning and system I touch into a ticking time bomb. This also combined with my unique ability to seemingly break any piece of software by merely interacting with it, especially on Linux, before I even had the chance to install anything. I’ve installed and used Linux on countless devices and haven’t ever had a smooth ride, yet still I’m completely daily driving Linux at this point.
I use Arch by the way :3 (and Fedora, and Ubuntu, and Raspbian, and God knows what else)
Oh yeah, the classic “I can’t wait for DNS changes, let me temporarily add the address and IP to the hosts file, it’s faster”.
You know, the kind that insists on using Arch, despite being slightly (or more) below the skill level one should have before using it.
whats’s a distro? :3 My UI looks like Windows 95 and i have cute cats in my terminal :3 i can text my friends, play games, surf the internet and do arts :3 what else does a girl need? :)
This is as it should be
I actually want this as a distro
Fedora, simple, consistent, versatile, up to date.
Right?
Servers - Debian
Daily driver - Fedora
It’s a bucket list item to someday have a pull request merged into a branch of the Linux kernel.
I was once the first to report a bug in the kernel. I’m still pretty proud of it.
The kind who spends more time compiling than using my system.
Um, the POSIX kind?
Android 16
Ohhh, Google shot in the lungs
That’s right! It goes in the Linux hole.
Believe it or not, immediate execution :3
I was Gentoo for a long time. I ran LFS for fun in college. I optimized and over optimized until every bit had purpose.
Now I use mint because kids take up all your time.
CachyOS based on Arch (btw). I’m somewhat of a noob power user and want the newest software because shiny. I’m not afraid to fuck up the install and start from scratch all over again because I’ve fucked up a dozen times already.
Mint. Couldn’t be arsed to have anything windows like at home, because I am tormented by win11 through my job.
So yeah, mint it is. Runs my slicer, 95% of my games and emby.
I am happy
I’ve yet to encounter a problem with mint I haven’t been able to solve with some googling and chatgpt. I love it.
So crazy that this guy built his career on being Matt Damon adjacent.
May have started that way, but he’s legit a good actor in his own right
He’s unsettling in all his roles and that’s a mark of a good actor. If you feel uncomfortable just because they are present in the scene, then they are doing their job.
