  • They/Them

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should literally be tried for war crimes, resolutely shit, lacking in imagination, uninformed reimagining of, limp-wristed, premature, ill-informed attempt at, talentless fuckfest, recidivistic shitpeddler, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another.

posts from @MxSelfDestruct tagged #I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Unless your shit is brand new you are not going to have a harder time getting your graphics or sound working under any normal Linux distro than under Windows. It's not 2016 any more. Just don't install Arch or NixOS or some other Gentoo-ass nonsense if you're just trying to have a normal working desktop. Use Mint or Ubuntu or SuSE and you'll be fine.

come on in, the water's fine!

I haven't had serious problems with hardware compatibility since what, Debian 7? how long ago was that? ten years? Nvidia's proprietary drivers have never been difficult to install on Debian-based systems, and AMD cards have Just Worked for quite some time now. Your sound card that you impulse-bought will Just Work. Your Wacom tablet will Just Work. Your networking setup and wi-fi adapter, no matter how weird and gay, will definitely Just Work. shit, I think your iPhone Just Works by now. hell, not only does a ton of this stuff Just Work now (and almost everything Works with a bit of setup), but it all (Just) Works without any of the proprietary, privacy-violating, half-baked, system-clogging shitware that it drags with it on Windows!

just use something Ubuntu or Debian derived. yes, Canonical kind of sucks shit, but lmao @ you if you think they're anywhere near as bad as Microsoft or Apple. yes, systemd kind of sucks, but lmao @ you if you think the average person would ever be in a situation where it would even make sense for them to give a shit.

and for the Linux users in the audience hooting, hollering, etc — stop fucking recommending Arch/NixOS/your weird hipster systemd-less distro to newbies. stop that shit. see previous statements wrt Canonical and systemd.
