Have you heard of our lord and saviour Arch Linux BTW

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 67 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

“Is that like Jesus?”

“No, it’s not like Christianity at all. Nobody who’s ever talked about Arch has ever gotten nailed”

Speak for yourself! I got two kids goddammit! 😎😭🥲

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

High five for sexy time! 🫸🫷

Oh now I understand :(

[–] cavveman@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

What about burned on stake for witchcraft?

[–] vexikron@lemmy.zip 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Obviously only real linux users use Void, you can tell because they have the best OS-Chan mascot.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Nonsense...real linux users use Slackware. Why bother with all these fancy new distros when the original is still going strong?

[–] vexikron@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

Obligatory:

Real Linux users actually compile linux from scratch without a network connection and just the linux from scratch cd.

Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s

Not entirely the same. nix is a build-tool, package manager and DSL. NixOS is the OS built on top of that. https://nixlang.wiki/ explains it

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

I just think more people should use Nix packages

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 43 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This was funny the first time I saw it, back when windows 10 came out.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago

it's still new for gentoo users who started installing that day and decided to go with openoffice from source.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I'll be honest at this point in my life anthing that pops up it gets a 1 simply for annoying me.

I'm never randomly recommending anything unless asked and if I do when asked specifically about it the app owners sure as shit don't need to know about it

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Would you like to rate our app?

❌Not now ❌Yes ✅Not ever

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it's the fact that 3rd box rarely exists that has gotten me this way

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

The fact that these popups exists in the first place makes me angry

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly all the app owners need to know is why a customer is dissatisfied. If the app is actually good the recommendations will come naturally.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't disagree but when I get asked to give it a rating 2 mins after installing they can fick right off.

Thanks to bots and shills ratings mean nothing.

In most cases I just stop using something as its not as useful as i thought or just boring bugging me in this manner just makes me actively hate it.

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah that's why the only sensible place for such a survey is in the uninstaller (no popup browser tab please) with a big fat "Skip" option. Let's people with actual feedback give that feedback while people who don't want to can skip. Corpo can then evaluate if the product lands well by the rate of installed/uninstalled/left feedback.

But yeah modern day surveys are absolute garbage and annoying in like 99/100 cases

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

In the modern age it seems sensible has gone right out the window. It almost feels like it's your fault you hate their product rather than it being shit.

Information has lost all value and I just don't want to play anymore

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's annoying when I start some software to get something done and it's asking me to do a survey. I'm in the middle of something! What's wrong with you?!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

The survey is administered by a cat.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

This even funnier now that they've come full circle to shutting down Windows 10 - Our Last Operating System!

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Linux users aren't people ;)

Man I really like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE you all should try it

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't have a PC right now but I'm a Mint guy.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"1994 or 2024" for 200$, Alex.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

Both, obviously

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I let a friend try out Linux after I've been using it for years and they were shocked how much easier some things are. I think the idea of throwing them into a like Windows distro is the wrong direction. I'm ready POP OS's new desktop whenever it comes out.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago

This is the reaction I get from people too. :)

[–] ghostblackout@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yes pop!_OS is ok I don't like it that much but it is a good distro

[–] Rognaut@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You guys should try Kali Linux with KDE Plasma. I'm really enjoying it. It's so easily customizable.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Ok I installed Kali now how do I hack?

[–] rockhandle@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I feel called out here lol. Granted, I've only recommended it to people I know who complained about the performance of windows. Linux is so much more optimised

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Causally recommending linux and shutting down inane tech support questions aren't the same thing. If I get asked: "X feature stopped working in the newest macOS. What do I do?" I tell them the truth: "I switched to linux to get the feature back."

[–] space@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This answer is stupid. I don't think it's unusual for a non-tech savvy friend who heard about Linux to ask for an opinion.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I think it is unusual. As a software engineer who has a large circle of friends, loads of them know I use Linux, but literally no one cares or is curious about knowing more. And honestly I'm not interested in explaining. We talk about and do other things lol. I sometimes talk about differences and news about both with those who have jobs or interests closer to the IT business, and we have a short conversation about those news, but nobody asks me about Linux, and especially not Windows. It's not interesting.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 1 points 8 months ago

If Lemmy is any example the "I use Linux" crowd is like "I'm a vegetarian".
