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.
Sloperating systems
Lol, I love Linux, but yeah… boy do I hate the Linux fans.
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. 😅
Have you guys hurd about the new release for 64bits… 🙃
Have you guys hurd […]
Was that pun intended?
Indeed 🫣
It’s quite simple; we’re trying to find our lost comrades. I had a magical moment when not one, but two people who joined my group on an MMO were using CachyOS. It’s like meeting your triplets separated at birth.
You only find out if you bring it up, lol.
I’m willing to recommend Windows 10 to someone who considers “upgrading” to Windows 11.
Maybe if there were a hundred different Windows 10s, and all of them were really good, we would be recommending Windows 10 distros to each other
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Richard Stallman*
The meme said Linux users, not GNU/Linux.
It also said operating systems, not kernels.
✨ Linchard Starvalds ✨
The linux kernel was invented by Linus Nostallman.
Bold move to combine their names and then give it those damn “we’ve forced AI into this” sparkles, lol.
The pedo apologist?
ex-
Ex-pedo? I’d half believe it.
ex-apologist. he’s gone on record saying that his statements were based on ignorance and that he had talked to a child psychologist to learn more.
What kind of statements were his?
That if someone freely gives consent but is underage, it’s not immoral.
Filthy heretic!
Never before have I been so offended by something I one hundred percent agree with.
I think if I were to spend the time analyzing my conversations over the last 6 months I would probably find I spend a lot of time having conversations about why people should explicitly never use a Windows OS.
So at least you would mention Windows in conversation? It’s a win! Thank you, grateful (consult EULA and pay fines if you’re not) customer!
Oh damn, you’re right!
On another note: have you spent any time considering how to install Linux on … literally everything?
Like a potato?
Puppy Linux will just about run on a potato.
and probably like, really fast.
all that sweet potato ram
You mean yam?
Sweet Potato RAM vs. Regular Potato RAM is a controversial topic
I bet the sfs file tucks right under the skin.
Absolutely!
That shit is funny
Even if we assumed Windows was worth using, I’m not sure I would need to explicitly recommend “use the thing that’s everywhere already”. If we’re talking about Linux distros, we’ve already moved on from the standard and into the realm of other options, but the norm generally needs no advertising.
i always have to look for this answer when this meme is posted.
people recommend all sorts of niche things out of thr regular stuff everyone does.
How likely are you to recommend using computer?
Hello fellow kids, I highly recommend using computer.
I don’t. It does bad things for you. A lot of my frustration these days is about things I see using computer.
A friend asks you: hey, my Windows 7 laptop is getting old, the new ones are all on Windows 10, would you recommend it? Or should I consider a MacBook instead? I really like that Mac has virtual desktops, which my laptop didn’t have.
This is the situation they are asking about. Are you answering:
“Actually Windows 10 has virtual desktops, so if that was the only reason for you to learn a new environment and move to Mac, then it might be simpler to choose Windows 10”.
or
“Nah, they put a lot of spyware in Windows 10, pick something else”.
I get what you’re saying. I feel like the more you have to work to conjure up a situation where this would be asked, the less likely I’m to recommend it, but under the premise that I find myself in one of those situations…
Well, given that the impending switch from Win7 to Win10 is what made me drop Windows entirely and rather try my luck with gaming on Linux, you can guess my answer :D
I remember seeing this meme a few years ago before I started using linux, and I showed this to a buddy and we were like “yeah lmao who the fuck goes around recommending OSs to people?”.
Today I think “who the fuck goes around recommending Windows to people?”
Twelve years ago, when XP released, there was legitimately a decision to be made what with nine distinct versions of the OS available. That still hasn’t stopped even in the modern day. So I could see people discussing exactly which version of Win10/11 they needed and then recommending others based on their experience.
But it’s sort of like the BMW that comes with a subscription to heated seats and ABS. Like, why would you subject yourselves to this kind of abuse in an OS?
They are using the wrong kind of Linux! My kind of Linux is superior, because it’s broken in a different way and more difficult than yours.
