    The linux community is split cleanly in two.

    Those with way too much self-awareness and those with none at all.

    I say that as someon who uses a linux distro as my main OS. (Yes I am better than you).

          no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.

          a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they’re doing will have a fine time.

      uses a linux distro as my main OS

      As opposed to dabbling? Nah fuck that, I’m all in, to the extent possible. I have to use Mac OS for work, otherwise I’d be fully on Linux. Fuck windows with a rusty knife.

        Ugh… I feel your pain.

        Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.

        But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.

          I agree, I just don’t know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I’ve been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don’t truly “need” it almost ever.

            “Dual booting” as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it’d be only windows anyways)

              Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying. It takes effort/money to keep using both unless it’s a work provided machine with the non preferred os

          Am I the only one who doesn’t have a negative experience on Windows 11? Like, I daily drive Cachy, but I have no issues with my work machine.

          I guess our tech shop people are doing their jobs right.

      Only on the kernel ackshually. Most packages are GPL3 or BSD or Apache.

      If you don’t plan to edit source files, Linux distribution licenses boil down to “do whatever just don’t sue us”

          Half of people hate gnome and will bite your head off for mentioning it, the other half loves and uses it with little to no issue. I’m a gnome guy and don’t like KDE (yes I’ve tried it multiple times) but if they fix a few things I could see switching.

            I think I’m the weird one who likes different DEs for different use-cases

            Gnome is great on a laptop with a track pad. It feels a bit like MacOS with its gestures and how it behaves. I did try also installing hyprland on it to try it out. I like the idea of a tiling WM but getting a setup ‘just right’ sounds like an exercise in patience I don’t have when other solutions exist that are good enough.

            On my main desktop that I use a mouse to navigate, KDE all the way.

            On the few VMs that I run GUI apps on, I like LXQT (Lubuntu or Debian) for how few resources it uses.

              Nice! I’ll bet this helps your neuroplasticity too. I should probably try to do something similar. One reason I’m attached to gnome is that I’ve built up a collection of knowledge and scripts around customizing it. I should probably be less picky regarding these customizations though.

      If you’re gonna say windows is better than Linux in any conceivable way, yes you’re gonna hear about it from a Linux person
