    I just don’t know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don’t know anything about Linux, I know I’m not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It’s like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it’s suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don’t speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don’t know!

    I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can’t stop.

      I use Linux since 2008 and I don’t get most of the Linix Memes as well. :) I also know German as a native language and don’t get most of the ich_iel stuff. You are not alone.

      The noodles is quite easy. One of our most active posters is called “Instantnudel” (instant noodles). In his memes he puts this block of instant noodles on the persons head that’s meant to represent him.

        I’ve thought about it and then I remember that I’m pretty dumb about stuff that doesn’t interest me much, so it would have to be a situation where someone else was like, “here’s your linux computer, I already set up all your stuff and your games all work.”

          Ah yeah I was only messing really. There is no reason for 90% of people to switch to Linux if they’re happy with Windows or MacOs and I say this as someone who’s solely been using Linux for nearly 20 years now.

          Sure, it’s a great operating system but honestly most people just don’t…give a shit.

            On a technical level that’s correct. But if you don’t care about all the ads, data harvesting and not being in control of the device you own, you may want go home and rethink your life.
