I use arch btw
I’ve never told anyone IRL that I use Linux.
Nor have I actually spoken to anyone for more than a few words since I started using Linux.
I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I’d rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.

So this morning I had to go to my mother’s house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn’t working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved.
I’m not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything 😆
It’s never too late. Don’t wait! Go outside, stop the first person you’ll see, look them deeply in the eyes and say it. Say it loud and proud!
This worked so well that I actually got a date! At the magistrates Court is a weird venue but whatever.
You’re doing it now! /s
Are young among people a lot?
I haven’t either but I do find myself having to master the urge more and more.
I heard symptoms get worse the longer you don’t talk about it.
And yet here you are
Thank you, because on here people don’t shut the fuck up about it even if the thread doesn’t involve Linux. They’re as bad as Cross-Fitters and Vegans.
this is the same corporate fueled viral joke as “vegans always telling everyone about being vegan”.
maybe if windows wasn’t a vibe coded, microslop, death-by-1,000-papercuts, spycrosoft, torment nexus, then nobody would feel the need to tell people about linux?People walk around smashing themselves in the dick with a hammer, complain about the dick-smashing hammer, and lament the future dick-smashing hammer update, and the moment someone says, “Hey, have you tried these non-dick-smashing, hammer-free pants?” And they say, “Hahaha, do you also do CrossFit?”
This joke is stolen valor, I only just swapped to Linux like two days ago and I haven’t had the opportunity to blurt it out to people yet.
as a long time linux user, nobody wants to try it unless they’re interested in programming or some highly technical thing….
and really that’s where windows wins.deleted by creator
One of my favorite jokes:
Q: A Vegan, a crossfit enthusiast, and a Linux user walk into a bar. How do we know?
A: They told every. Damn. Person. In the bar. Within 5 fucking minutes.
except it’s an unearned stereotype pushed by the corporations that lose money from people quitting meat and windows
i could tell you a lot of jokes based on stereotypes but i don’t want to spread fud.
also, i’ve never heard a single person talk about crossfit ever, but if they do, it’s probably because they enjoy it and want to tell you about things they have benefited from because they want you to be healthy and happier… not to gloat or whateverThe two people I know in real life who do cross fit talking it up constantly, and it’s definitely to gloat. I’ve rarely heard people who are vegan bring it up. As for Linux evangelists I’ve been one since the late 90s.
this line of reasoning seems right to me. Well, if Windows didn’t have all these problems, there wouldn’t be as much need to migrate to another operating system
Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they’ve already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?
i get it but i have a dog and im still mad at you
Oh yeah, did I tell you I’m vegan?
Arch

Dark mode
Mono space fonts for coding, ligatures for prose

I exchange emacs for vim
I exchange ancient vim for fancy neovim and monospaced fonts upgraded to nerd fonts.
Ew emacs, yuck 🤢🤮. Try Vim and you’ll never go back.
/s btw (I use Linux, please don’t kill me)

I use Arch btw.
I tell everyone at my part time job that we need Linux on their systems. I know nothing about Linux servers. Lemmy has convinced me most institutions would benefit from the switch.
Feels like one of those jokes that explicitly shouldn’t go into programmerhumor. A programmer that doesn’t interact with Linux, that’s something to tell the world about…
Just going to leave us hanging re the distro guy??
It was the set-up to a joke. Nobody asked who’s there so they did not get to finish.:-(
Lemmy.
This is sad whatever happened but I use manjaro btw.
That one line probably started a three-hour debate right there at the funeral.
