i had to hold in my excitement when someone asked me what linux distro they should use as a beginner
This looks like an ex of mine. It’s creeping me out.
Congrats on dating Elizabeth Olsen!
Condolences on dating Elizabeth Olsen!
They said it looks LIKE them … could have easily been another one of the Olsen twins too … 👀
Linux is a pyramid scheme. Prove me wrong
Its just fun man. Before I tried linux seriously, I thought it was ridiculous. Why would you care so much about doing extra random bull shit? Except thats literally like 99% of the fun. You dont have to do any of it these days. Most stuff runs out of box pretty well. People just do it because its fun to experiment. You learn so much about computers its addicting. I even learned some powershell for windows and zsh for mac because now I understand how they work better after reading books about the linux kernel. I used to be weirdly judgemental about mac and linux users, now I just want people to have a computer that fits their needs.
Its not for everyone, but my wife got so jealous of watching me try Mint/Ubuntu/Debian that she joined linux over a year ago. Her homepage is now the fedora newsletter. She is a normal person who was only mildly interested in computers before and now we talk about the Debian/Fedora all the time. If you like computers, its worth giving it a shot. Just dont blame yourself if it isnt your cup of tea.
I don’t really care for Linux at all. I just hate Microsoft.
I hope you find some alternative you really enjoy using.
You are free to think what you like. Have a nice day 👋
This is exactly what I’m going to do in about 14 days. Fuck Microsoft.
Out of curiosity, why in 14 days?
Really slow download speeds?
Leaving a job wit two weeks after an announcement probably.
Good on ya! 🫡
Internally: “YESYESYESYESYESYESYES”
Externally: “Cool, let me know if you need any help”
“my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”
me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
Nailed it
For me it was Ubuntu then Parrot Os then MX Linux
I say better for them to make the jump now to Ubuntu and figure out a distro better suited for their needs later on than to remain on Windows while having choice paralysis about what distro to chose.
I still think it’s a decent entry choice. I won’t touch it myself anymore, personally, but Canonical is still better than Microslop. That bar is set so low that even snap can clear it.
Yeah, a guy recently said that they’d jump into Mint and I could’ve said that I started on that, too (a fucking decade ago, apparently), but I was considering to tell them they could start with $BETTER_DISTRO right away for so long, that I didn’t end up saying much at all. 🫠
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! It’s gonna be so much fun! We can do each others hair and talk about our favourite distros!
Do we need the socks?
If I could I would upvote this twice 😄
You can, but you have to de-upvote it once.
Got it for you.
I started using Linux last week. And now I’m looking at your memes!
welcome to the master race
One of us one of us gooble gobble
Same! Put bazzite on my desktop.
Please reach out if you have trouble. Make a buddy if you don’t have one!
Welcome!
Just have a friend who finally decided switching yesterday. She picked my distro recommendation too which makes me feel all validated.
You have to share what this is now.
She wanted something that was an easy transition from Windows. She is competent enough to install her own OS but wants to spend what little spare time she has on the computer gaming and not troubleshooting and maintaining so I recommended she tried Bazzite with KDE.
Sounds like a solid rec for her usecase :)
Nice. I’ll have to give Bazzite a try sometime.
Then they use the worst set up you could imagine.
I see no issues here…
You can see the Rust they added to the kernel.
Windows is the worst setup you could imagine and they’re ditching that. Sounds like a win to me.
This laptop came with an onboard intel graphics card AND an NVIDIA graphics card!
Oh fuck
A laptop 😣
I’m on the reverse end. I’m so sick of the “I hate windows, I’m switching to Linux” and then just never make the swap. Like stop bitching about it if you won’t do anything to fix it.
I like it when people talk about how shitty microsoft is.
Sleeper agent, go!
That girl is on the toilet, btw.
Wow! I really thought this was a bog roll behind her, in combination with the window placement and general decor. But makes sense when seeing the rest!
That is how happy an average woman is when she is finally able to empty her bowels.
I need to know the context.

No girl that looks like this is using Linux
I finally got my GF on Linux, and she’s not far off.
That’s not true. There are probably like at least 11, but they’ve got so many chads helping them already you’ll never meet them.
Not yet…
