No time for distrowars
…says the guy that makes a meme shitting on users of every other distro.
While at the same time not even using the meme format correctly.
I see this always get commented, but I don’t get it, what’s the right way to use it?
In this meme template both the lowest and highest IQ should say the same thing
Edit: just realized, it could be sort of saved changing either gentoo for an arch based distro or arch for a gentoo based distro. This would partially save the symmetry of the template.
Ahh, makes sense, but is it really wrong? To me it’s just a different kind of joke
Well I can tell you why Linux does not have a higher adoption rate: toxic shit like this.
Isn’t the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I’m on Linux Mint usually -_-
I use Linux Mint because I like Mint Ice Cream
I use Parrot in honour of my parrot Loba
I use Ubuntu Mate because I’ve always wanted one
I use Peppermint because it’s my favourite flavor of gum
I use Rocky Linux because he’s my favourite American Hero
I use fedora because I know it will come back in style
I use arch btw
I don’t know why people hate Fedora so much and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?
it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.
But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.
Yea that makes sense. I’ve been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they’ve ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.
bricking a laptop with linux is incredibly unlikely.
Making the system unbootable so you need to boot from USB to fix it otoh… not so much.
Honestly what is wrong with ‘just works’. If the policies behind the project and the security and privacy is all in place using this option is nothing wrong.
For linux to grow it needs to be more ‘just works’. Let the complex stuff and simple stuff be there. It’s not one or the other.
Exactly.
When I was younger, tinkering around was a hobby in itself. But today I actually used my machine and I want it to work without hassle. I don’t want to think about swap partition sizes, modeset kernel parameters and that kind of stuff. I want a reliable tool.
That’s why so many devs use MacBooks. They’re essentially Unix machines with a proper GUI and mostly work absolutely flawlessly.
I’ve been using MacBooks for over ten years now and had exactly one crash: when the drive was failing so hard, it couldn’t even spin up anymore.
How is Gentoo keeping it simple?
Simple is unfortunately the negation for complicated and complex, which are slightly different things. Ubuntu is not complicated, but complex. Gentoo is complicated, but not as complex (at least it can be).
lol aren’t complicated and complex synonyms (as adjective)?
No, there’s a pretty important difference.
I’m on Ubuntu. A week ago I had to look up how to use a python script. I wouldn’t even hide porn that much.
As an Arch user i started building from source my software recently, guess i’ll end on Gentoo some day
