This entire thread is giving me flashbacks to my junior dev days and forgetting a where clause when updating/deleting database records
That’s what you get for using Ubuntu
Kind of an asshole statement tbh
Ubuntu tries to become (or is already) the de facto standard. That is what assholes do.
We should probably burn down the homes of people who use it then /s
Honestly, I meant it for a joke, but people started taking it seriously, I don’t know where to end this.
‘I use arch btw’
close, but I use NixOS
Yeah, what were they thinking, using Ubuntu in 2011?
Is ubuntu bad? I use mint as i am fairly new to linux.
Ubuntu is owned by Canonical, and they have been making some decisions that a lot of people in the community don’t like, most notably, the enforcement of snaps (in a nutshell, the repos are proprietary and centralised), but they have been involved in various other corpo shenanigans as well
But I don’t think “X distro is bad, don’t use it” is very useful unless it is dangerous or harmful to the user.
Ubuntu (or the various other buntus) work for some people, and without them, far fewer people would use Linux. The benefit of Linux is the amount of choice you get and being able to easily switch between distros (you can even dual boot if you want!)
So if you like Mint, stick with that. If somebody prefers the buntus, it’s great as long as they are respectful to others!
Distro wars are stupid
It’s not really bad. It’s just kinda distasteful due to stuff like Snap packages and Canonical’s position of privacy as a company. But it isn’t really a bad distro if you ignore that stuff. If it works it works.
Ubuntu kinda forces you to use snap (which sucks), and is owned by Canonical.
Neither of them apply to Linux Mint, so nice choice.

Another classic
rm -rf “$STEAMROOT/”* could be evaluated as rm -rf “/”* if $STEAMROOT is empty
Ah, good times.
Wow.
That’s a nuclear grade ‘oopsie’ right there hahaha!
Probably a good idea to enable the
nounsetshell option when shipping commercial-grade install scripts. 😅
Jeez. Didn’t hear about that one, back in the day… wow.
“typo” :D
What do you mean? Hitting space while typing out a path is very much a typo. Am I missing something?
They’re jokingly implying it was intentional
yeah you missed the joke i guess
Explain the joke! ;-;
“hahaha ubuntu users take this”
I… see.
