  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

    I thought that it's a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

    Never ask a woman her age.

    A man the length of his penis.

    And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.

    Right? I'll talk about my salary all you want. I think it's great to know where you stand against others when negotiating for a new job or a raise. Especially since unions aren't really a thing in my profession.

    Don't talk about my penis. If I want you to know, you'll know.

    it is OBJECTIVELY linux mint. Why? Because.

    this comment was written on June 2025. So as of this day Mint is fabulous. And if I were to save a single distro from a burning building of all the popular distros, i would grab mint twice.

    I know I know, there are many good distros, even texhnically better ones. But having used Mint as a secondary dual boot to my primary Windows, I have felt that Mint has been least annoying and actually worth retaining and updating and maintaining.

    Mint is great I use it on my desktop and laptop and have been for years (I switched when Ubuntu has that unity desktop period). For Linux it's the most "it just works" distro for me. My second choice would be manjaro, but mint also has the advantage that there is so much help for Ubuntu you can find online, that usually also works for mint.

    I freaking love Linux Mint. I use it for myself because despite being the β€œeasy” distro, it is still Linux. (Or as I like to call it, GNU plus Linux, lol) But you are still allowed to use the terminal, compile your own code, fiddle with your system, run docker, and generally do what you want with your computer without it bogging down to load ads for services that are already running in the background bogging it down more whether you pay for it or not. And since it is based on debian/ubuntu/apt, users benefit from that popularity when they look up how to do something.

    I love it just as much for the non-power users. It is how I will allow my parents to keep their perfectly good laptop that collects dust instead of spending a thousand bucks on a new win11 laptop to collect dust.

    Long term I assume that I will end up on Arch or a derivative, mostly thanks to Valve, on top of it being a good project to learn on.

    It depends on who’s asking. But if it’s someone who is curious about Linux, it’s always Mint.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

    If someone is new, show them DEs and recommend based on that

    Toss up between Slackware, Gentoo or Linux From Scratch. Learn the hard way.

    oh god I'd be so so happy if someone asked me that! Whenever I say i use Linux people look at me funny 😭

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Yeah man. The amount of times I have to shoehorn into the conversation, that I'm using Arch btw. is tiring.

    Would be so much easier, if they just asked.

    We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.

    [–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I thought you said healthy.

    Fucking Astolfo in there... this is just too good.

    Thank you for this, you've made my day.

    I didn't really like Gnome, but one day I might spin up a VM for this.
