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.
I thought that was a sub for people who didn’t like that they were eels or something.
Eels are accepted on ich_iel, only sturgeons are banned.
The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.
Choo Choo!
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.”
It’s actually super easy now. If you can install Windows, you can install Linux (distro dependent obviously). You’ll have to learn to do power user things, but that’s true for Windows as well. Any issues are just a web search away. If you have to use the terminal, you’ll be given the commands to copy-paste.
I’ve never installed windows either. 🙂 I picked all the parts for my current computer, but I paid a guy to do the assembly because I wasn’t confident in my ability, so he did all that. My ex husband did it on the previous build, and everything prior was a pre-built.
you’ll be given the commands to copy-paste.
No. Terrible advice. NEVER COPY-PASTE COMMANDS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! That’s also true for Windows.
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.
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.
The Jehovah’s witness of lemmy
After much dedicated and persistent blocking of communities, I don’t see much Linux on lemmy anymore. But I don’t see much on lemmy anymore.
I had a conversation with a friend last night and he was talking about something Linux related and I accidentally contributed to the conversation. I immediately thought “god dammit Lemmy”.
Also, let’s not forget…
Best Linux Distro: Arch
Worst Linux Distro: Believe it or not, also Arch
The best one is always Hanna Montana Linux.
You WILL eat your vegetables. It’s good for you. One day you will install it and you will be grateful.
Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don’t like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don’t want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don’t want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.
In that case Mint would be perfect for you.
This response is perfect and I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it’s 100% serious and I read too much into it.
There’s comedic genius in: “I hate talking about Linux, it’s just a tool” “In that case here’s a distro recommendation for you”
It was actually a bit of both, a joke and an actual recommendation.
