Have you guys hurd about the new release for 64bits... 🙃

Have you guys hurd [...]

Was that pun intended?

The linux kernel was invented by Linus Nostallman.

Lol, I love Linux, but yeah... boy do I hate the Linux fans.

Linux people are polite enough to not react when I tell them I use Ubuntu.

Windows people think I am a geeky nerd that knows how to code when I tell them I use Ubuntu.

To be fair, the only time operating systems come up in conversation is when someone’s computer is broken and suddenly everyone becomes an IT expert. 😅

Indeed 🫣

Sloperating systems

Just glad you're on our side mate.

If you’ve been enjoying Ubuntu so far I randomly want to recommend Debian to you. ☺️

I'm here to start a flame war and say Debian is old and gross and Fedora is clearly the way forward. And fuck it while were here, dont use the regular Fedora workstation, use the KDE spin, GNOME bad!

TBF, almost everyone I work with uses Linux. There's virtually no conversation about it. It's just what it is, like even the weather is more deserving of discussion.

I thought Linux was a way of life. Not an OS?

Linux is actually a kernel.

THE KERNEL OF TRUTH 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

If you wanted people to say the other part you shouldn't have given the other part a dumb name.

Windows 7 was peak Windows. It was all downhill from there.

I recommend BeOS

I didn’t realize spoiler links were possible and took the bait 🫠

I work a job at an airport assisting the elderly and disabled with wheelchair assistance.

I cannot tell you, literally cannot tell you how many people sit in my wheelchair, and IMMEDIATELY start talking about the weather.

Uggghhhhhh!

I would be pleasantly surprised if the conversation instead was like this:

"So, hows your day going?"

"I murdered my wife and kids last night. Then I ate their corpses..."

"Really? That's fantastic. Hey, what operating system are you using?"

A friend of mine had a party at her place on the most recent new years eve, there were several people who I hadn't met before there and we quickly realised we were all Linux users and, of course, absolute fucking nerds (I mean that with pride and appreciation).
She is very much not a nerd in that way and most others there weren't too. It took about 15 minutes before she threw her hands up in the air and said "guys, this isn't fun for anyone else, if you really need to only talk about operating systems and shit like that you'll have to leave. Everyone else wants to hang with you guys too but no one can if you keep this in-group thing going."
And, yeah, we all understood her view. Of course we put up a playful fight though, first acting all disappointed and then saying "ok, ok, we'll leave then. Have fun being all boring and stuff without us cool kids" etc. which it took her a while to realise wasn't serious, heh.
For the rest of the night we had to stop ourselves several times from getting back into it, both among ourselves and with other people.
All of it was great though, and made some new Linux geek friends!

Uhh, it's GNU/Linux actually

The Father -> Richard Stallman

The Son -> Linus Torvalds

The Holy Ghost -> GNU+Linux

The Holy Temple -> Arch Linux

Facts

The only people that I know that use Debian are over 50 years old

When Ieet other Linux folks in person, they're great. Online though ...

As I read through this I thought you were going to say y'all left and went to a bar together.

As a Linux n00b, now I need to know which is the kernel and which is the OS.

This is the way

That is okay you are forgiven 🤣

Debian is a fine choice.

actually ... never mind

Hey! I’m not 50 yet!

Though not far off TBF.

Not even dirty 30 yet baybee!

Windows 10 and Linux are pretty good

Weather or not you should switch to this distro

For most users, kernel js kinda invisible. Whatever program you run interacts with the system via the kernel. Kernel manages hardware and links software with hardware.

And all the other programs you can launch, built around the kernel which together make it functional is the rest of the OS.

Disagree. It was XP.

I recommend to most people that you just BeYourself, so long as that means you won't Be an OSshole.

Yes! Maintain the rage!

Ah, a Plan 9 man.

It's not a dumb name, it's a recursive acronym. That's awesome.

This is one of the typical reactions when people hear about Ubuntu

Holy Temple is of course Temple OS.

That is based on an AI slop article full of unconfirmed rumors and clickbait.

Stop spreading it like it is true.

I had a very niche problem on Fedora once that I was personally unable to solve, therefore the entire project is trash and everyone should use CachyOS which I haven't managed to break yet!

Who are you to order me to stop doing what I wasn't doing? Windows 11 is such a giant piece of shit, that this kind of article rings too true. If anything, take it as a cautionary tale and change course so that Windows 12 (or whatever it's called) isn't worse.

Okay people: Win 10 is infinitely better than Win 11, so like if you're one of the few eccentric people that for some reason is required to use Win🅱️ows

then... there you go.

Well, now you don’t.

Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.

But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.

Im comfortable with Ubuntu, and have no curiosity to try another distro. But if I ever have the inclination to try something else, I know Lemmy will have kind people to guide me.
