I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don’t like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That’s just obnoxious and exhausting.
So theres BSD, truth.
WRONG Arch is the only right distro
This person uses arch by the way
And they’re vegan.
And asexual
100% their bike is a fixie and they lock it in front of their office building, it’s the only bike on that bike rack, because they like to show how cool they think they are.
I use Ubuntu, btw.
Mint FTW!
TempleOS is the true Operating System

Yeah FreeBSD exists
Based and truth-pilled.
Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers
More like going into a church and complaining there are too many hookers
More like going into a church and complaining that there are too many pedophiles.
I dunno man, you might be right cuz you’d probably be told to pipe it down
If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.
Then it would be like Lemmy.
even though you’re not there for service
I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?
Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.
Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.
This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.
…except this isn’t explicitly a Linux website. Sure, it’s probably run by people who use it extensively and populated mostly by people who use it at least regularly… but it’s in no way a Linux dealership. I came here specifically because it wasn’t trying to sell me something.
If you’re trying to say that’s not the case, and that the fediverse only exists as a mechanism to sell people on linux… it might be time to give up on it, I suppose.
Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.
I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.
I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.
It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.
Are you saying my dick is broken and not the brothel? Ruh Roh.
Why come to lemmy if you’re not down for linux?
I dunno, maybe the brothel gas a restaurant with a good prime rib special.
Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!
Heya honey, looking for a good time? I use Arch btw.
As long as both remain free and open source I’ll allow it.
Because they are wise in the ways of the world.
Let’s be honest, that sounds like heaven.
If hookers could talk Linux to me, or even better, help me resolve my fucking display issue, I’d be giving them money hand over fist.
Literally
And figuratively
#SexWorkIsRealWork
Heck, I’d probably be a repeat customer and have them help me rice my Linux install.
Who’s got time for sex when there’s ricing to be done!
You can do both. A fresh install and sex take about the same amount of time.
Look at Mr. I Can Last 20 Minutes over here.
Bragger
Some of us still have Hard Drives. O_o
If your installation process lasts for more than four hours, better consult your disk doctor.
If you need help, I saw a fucking display in Amsterdam one time and could give you some pointers.
I love how this entire comment chain went lol
The Fediverse is so fun!!!
Even Hookers need scheduling and accounting.
That’d be us Unix socks people.
Speaking of, I recently switched to Linux, do the thigh high socks just show up or do I have to order them myself?
If you use arch you have to start knitting
And with Gentoo you have to spin your own yarn before the knitting 😁
And with LFS, you need to breed, raise the sheep and then shear them yourself before you get to spin and knit the socks…
But you can tune the specifications of the yarn to theoretically make the socks up to 2% more comfy. In practice your tuning efforts will make the socks less comfortable and tear more easily.
You unlock them once you enter your 10,000th terminal command.
I just checked my
history, 21110. And there was more that got cut off before I increased the history length. Are they supposed to come each Christmas or something because I don’t have them yet.Just read the Arch wiki. It’s clearly explained there. Fuckin’ noob. Thread locked.
Does repeating commands count or do they have to be entered manually?
It’s rather a r9k kind of deal
Better get to work then, its gonna be a cold winter.
You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.
You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.
Yep, as written in the manuscript:
“Stallman’s Sluts and Torvalds’ Thots,
shall all receive some thigh-high socks.”This should be on a metal plate somewhere
You have to find the shop and pay some gold, but when you equip them you get +2 programming and can be combined with BLÅHAJ for +2 gender euphoria.
Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?
Yes that was always allowed
Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.
It’s contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It’s the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it’s a mild case. But there’s always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

Stop it. Now. This is not tolerated in this thread and if I see you post another one like this, I will report you. People don’t give a Debian what you think is funny. I Mint it. serious frowny face serious red arrow pointing at serious frowny face /jk
LunarVoyager is not in the jokers file. This incident will be reported.

I got a good chuckle out of that. Nice.
Careful it can also progress into Stage 4 BSD.
Don’t forget to enable the wobbly Windows. It prevent distro hoping.
More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.
Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS
Yeah, your’s is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they’re drunk but thank god they’re not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.
Yeah, who knew an open source platform would be used by open source enthusiasts?
More like any-mention-of-anything-else protestors.
happy cake day!
I don’t understand why anybody would complain about that. It’s like complaining that too many people wear jeans.
Maybe because jeans wearers don’t spam up every thread about clothing with “JUST WEAR JEANS!”
They propably would if a common topic of discussion was “this is how leggings have got worse today”
I’ve only been on lemmy for a short time but I haven’t seen any Linux users spamming any threads that way. This complaint is the first sign I’ve seen that anybody even has that idea. It reminds me of crusty old farts who see a gay character in a sitcom and say OMG it’s all about the gays now!!!
Because any post can be turned into a Linux post here.
Much like how Linux can be run on anything!
Unless its something that can’t be done in a browser! Then whip out the Linux bible and download wine and virtualbox because you’re using windows baby!
I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I’ll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.
How else are you going to play FreeDoom if you can’t get Linux to run on it?
I think OP is confusing the fact that people are sick of Linux users preaching with people using Linux.
I agree. It’s like thinking you know all about a person because of their car.
I don’t care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I’m in. Enjoying something is fine, but it’s best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.
That’s me but with US politics, I blocked a few communities and moved on.
Yep. Better to get to the finish line of life with no identity whatsoever. Life is meant to be left unlived.
What?
And as we all know, only extremes exist! The middle ground is an illusion!
Leaves grow upward because they would die in the depths, just as roots would die in the air.
exactly what a windows user would say
k
It’s more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it’s a brothel.
Lol, far more accurate
Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.
Considering the mod will ban you for expressing literally the same sentiment as the OP and was posting multiple time daily, I think they are.
Must be a masochist
Very strange because the shoe fits. Most Linux users are masochists in some way. They actually enjoy understanding and configuring their software.
Hey! Hookers are street working girls.
You find whores at brothels.
Who are you so wise in the ways of sex workers?
And escorts?
I can’t believe my sleep addled brain read this as “e-scorts” like it was some new gaming thing.
Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for “eScorts: Uber for hookers”.
How quickly can you write up a proposal? We can have GPT get us a mockup of the ui by tomorrow and be ready for production by Friday…
Did I say all of that correctly?
Just throw in AI there and we’re good!
I like the idea of pronouncing it hook-ai-rs just for the implications on Ubers becoming u-bears.
“U-bears for hook-ai-rs” makes me chuckle. It’s just the right amount of churches up.
You know… That’s not a bad idea.
We had call girls back in the 80s and 90s. They were good as long as you had some blow.
Now, I’m not so sure. I guess they are traveling onlyfans blowing through metro cities like tumbleweeds.
Escorts are luxury accessories you take to upscale events for “smoozin & boozin”.
They’ll even fuck you if you gain their interest or are rich enough. Think of them like geisha. Beautiful, seductive, multifaceted and cultured.
like, how many Star Trek communities do you need, right?
Never enough
when she looks a little further and finds out that you are cheeting
but not on her, just in the game you convinced her to play with you.
