    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.

      Lubuntu brother reppin’

      My poor 2011 laptop is begging for the sweet release of death, but not before Linux keeps performing CPR on it.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      I’ve yet to encounter a problem with mint I haven’t been able to solve with some googling and chatgpt. I love it.

    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.
