The UX combines with various Lines.

20 years this year and I still am not sure how it is supposed to be pronounced (in english)

As someone who uses Linux every day for work, I don't know how to fix shit. I'm not paid to troubleshoot

That's the thing, his pronounciation there is eerlie similar to what I'm used to spanish (where it is pronounced just as it is spelt) that my ol brain kind of does a short-circuit and can't assimilate the fact that it's just kind of the same thing in both languages and if it's in the middle of a sentence I have to go back to speaking my crappy non-native english

Two decades! Shit. Memes are meant to make me depressed.

Not sure if this helps, but in English (my native language), I would pronounce it with a short “i”, like in “sit”. You could also pronounce it with a Spanish “i” (same as Finnish “i” to my ears). I would not pronounce it with a long English “i” because the vowel length is too long and doesn’t sound right.

It’s just files, how hard could it be 🤷

I fucking wish

I compiled Linux last week and I don’t even know how it works

I was unaware ifconfig was no longer a thing a little while back. boy oh boy did it take a long time to troubleshoot.

"It just works, so who tf cares?"

That killed a Plan9 (and 9front) fan.

Line-yoox.

Penguin thingies blah blah gay furry nerd shit blah blah hackers blah blah

It takes the raw code, bakes it at 450°F for 90 minutes, then does some magic.

LIH-nucks (rhymes with "tin bucks").

Gah Nuu plus Line-ucks

linux

This gon be another gif or gif situation.

Me who started to use it few months ago: ¯\_( ´ _ `)_/¯

I just say "everything's a file" until they stop asking questions

When Linux is working, one does not tempt fate by asking why.

Ironic typo?

Damn it. No

People are asking you to talk about linux

People are asking me to stop talking about linux

We are not the same

It is pronounced like that but they don't rhyme at all

it’s pronounced gif

Loon - icks

guy over here trying to start a war

True. It works more to my liking, and that's enough for me

Dewey you lil rascal, stop lookin at me like that!

I've been using Linux for over 2 years. When does that part when I think I know how it works kicks in? I didn't get it.

I dunno, I've been using it since like 2012 and I still have no idea sometimes when it breaks.

It's a moving target.

One does not ask how the Linux is working, one only asks if.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner, folks! 😁

Read the meme: you already passed it long ago!

(Though there is a second stage that kicks in when you manage to grow a grey beard - which is particularly impressive if you are a woman!)

So when is the rest of this gif happening?

Check out dbus and notify.
And then unpack your dracut initrd.

Loin-ughs

The Linux kernel is a computer secretary. It turns organizes hardware into files and it handles scheduling.

I'm at the point where I struggle to explain to newbies how to do things, so I'm always glad that other newbies do it. 🥴

But seriously - if you do want to see the inner workings, perform a Gentoo stage 2 to dip your toes in. LFS after if you’re feeling dangerous. Then things will start to come together. But maybe do it on a spare machine… You can/will break things and you will need a fallback to do research. Don’t bother if you don’t care to read manuals, it’s not easy and can be frustrating.

I've been working with Linux since 1.1.98, I think, 1.2.13 for sure. That's probably 32 years.

I've built kernels for enterprise distribution as part of a build group. I've worked to secure our distribution. I've led the security response team.

I've never run gentoo.

You think I should ?

yiff*

The linux is silent

gay furry nerd

You rang?

Honestly as a not-used-Gentoo person recklessly throwing around my opinion on the internet...

It sounds like either it can be "Really optimized and crazy performant if you know what you're doing."

Or "It's a fun hobby because you think operating systems are fun."

Personally it seems cool except I think I'd start to burn out fast if every package install means having to read compilation instructions and edit configs.

Maybe because my experience compiling stuff is always like "What's your problem this time?! Okay where do I find that package version?!"

EDIT: I love all the educational, reassuring, and enthusiastic responses. This is what makes Linux cool. :D I should give Gentoo a try...
