  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts

    Inaccurate garbage.

    I use Arch because I'm old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

    /s

    It's cute. Thanks for posting.

    I'm on Slackware because what I've used since 2002.

    [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    And still haven't updated*

    I've tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

    [–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Recently I joked to less techy friends that in the patch of the internet I most often lurk, there are two "genders": anarchist, trans, cat girls, and libertarian techbros. This seems similar to the joke that was made about Arch.

    I run arch btw. I am neither trans, nor a catgirl, but there is no question about where I belong β€” I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties

    [–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I fucking hate how accurate that is, I am anarchist (adjacent), a transgirl, and I do say nya a lot. I use Fedora tho.

    [–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Where do seasoned, leftist, graybeards/hairs fit into this gender binary?

    [–] bluemoon@piefed.social 1 points 8 months ago

    somewhere outside the binary... welcome =)

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Not even the man RMS himself uses GNU/Hurd or Guix, which is hilarious.

    I'm on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I'm pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.

    [–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 4 points 11 months ago (4 children)

    If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.

    [–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago

    Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.

    I use bedrock with Artix and devuan(I also wanna try chimera), none of those distros are in there, so am I free to not be a femboy?

    [–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

    Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn't playing nice last time I tried it.

    [–] yaroto98@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    What happens if my distro is never mentioned in these run-downs? What does that say about me?

    [–] BonkTheAnnoyed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

    One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.

    That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?

    I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.

    [–] lennee@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

    im on arch cuz it respects me

    [–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

    How dare you be so accurate.

    [–] TechAngel@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I'm currently on Fedora, but likely will be switching to OpenSuse. I've been looking at to stop distro hopping and make a home for myself finally. (I've only been using Linux on and off for the past 13 years.)

    [–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

    Ha, I went the other way. Did like openSUSE but fedora has more resources for a newbie.

    [–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I’m on CachyOS. What does that say about me?

    [–] seralth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    You like to play video games and you don't like being a fedora sheep.

    That and your the gamer in your group that sets up the servers and manages the mod packs while the rest of your group is on bazzite.

    [–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    I use Arch Linux (BTW), and it was very accurate. Dont ask me for help. Just RTFM!!

    /j

    [–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Everyone else: Weird fun quirky fun

    Deb and Mint: You boring AF. You want the thing to work? Ugh, just leave.

    [–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

    Wrong. I respect Debian and mint users. I respect them for the same reason I use fedora.

    [–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

    The bazzite call out made me so happy :')

    [–] fleck@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    Using NixOS at home and I swear I'm not a furry! At work, I use CachyOS (Arch). My wife is sad that there was no mention of Solus..

    [–] aurelian@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Nixos! There are dozens of us.

    DevOps/SRE crowd love reproducibility.

    I'm unpretentious and unwilling to change for changes sake.

    First of all:
    Whoa, I always think these are stupid & random, but this is the first one I actually don't have notes for.
    Brava.

    ~~Second of all:
    Is that Sexual Lobster in the thumbnail??
    Never seen that reference in the wild.~~
    (Huh, prob just that Sexual Lobster/Greasy Moose (Chris Voigt) & Weebl (Jonti Picking) worked together at Albino Blacksheep)

    Third of all:
    Where are all the Hannah Montana Linux users?

    [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

    Debian on the proper PC.

    Bazzite on the Deck.

    ... of course with a Debian environment set up in DistroShelf for when I am spurred to futz with dev work on the Deck.

    ... I am an apocalypse oriented gamer / dev who hates Windows, by this video.

    Uh... yep, yep, no notes really.

    [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Is there no sound on purpose ?

    [–] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)
    [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

    Ok then it's a newpipe bug

    [–] bluemoon@piefed.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Goblin Linux?

    Peer tube via PipePipe isn't giving me any audio does the vid have no audio or is this an issue on my end?
