  • Terminal junkies be like...

    Jump

  • Terminals do make more sense, if you know all the commands. And I must admit, "say the magic words and the computer does the thing" is pretty neat and makes me feel powerful.

  • Some commands to confuse the newbies

    Jump

  • The cat one is funny. That seems like a neat party trick.

  • Linux distro for noob

    Jump

  • Yep. Standards are definitely useful. Stick to the standards. If you don't know enough to know why you'd want something counter to the standard thing, then you don't need to be messing with that thing.

  • New To linux- Memes

    Jump

  • Tbh, not sure about the seat. The guy might be fun to start a "best distro" argue-til-blue-in-the-face-about-something-pointless with, and the wolves... if you feed them, you'll have a pack of cute puppies who want their bellies rubbed, and I like dogs...

  • Linux distro for noob

    Jump

  • I'd suggest AntiX, as it's great for crappy hardware and a personal favourite of mine, but seeing as I chose Mint for my first distro that stayed installed more than a day, after I broke AntiX and couldn't figure out what I even broke or how to fix it... (don't ask who recommended that as a beginner distro to my clueless self...) yeah. Mint. Maybe go with XFCE or something rather than Cinnamon, modern DEs take up a lot of resources on an already chugging shitbox.

  • Linux distro for noob

    Jump

  • Fun. Reminds me of an image I found on Tumblr, from one of the Linux gimmick blogs, IIRC...

  • KDE releases alpha build of KDE Linux, an immutable arch linux distro

    Jump

  • Yeah, immutables have... probably a usecase, but even as someone who Should Not Be Messing With Core System Stuff, I don't want or need that, and can't see an obvious usecase.

  • After decades on Windows, so long and thanks for all the phish

    Jump

  • you’ll be blown away by how asinine windows is once you’ve got used to Linux.

    This, absolutely. I really hate Linux sometimes. But then I have to deal with Windows, which I hate even more. It's not that I like Linux. It's that I like it more than Windows.

  • Schools in France send dozens of Muslim girls home for wearing abayas

    Jump

  • And the bear hugs. Pandas are so cute. But yeah, the food would be amazing.

  • Runaway cat travels over 30 miles to pub - twice!

    Jump

  • That pub must serve really good fish and chips with a glass of milk.

  • I had a journey

    Jump

  • Other way around for me - got into Linux because some comrades were saying real commies use it, I was really mad at Windows that day to begin with, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Found out it's... sucky in different ways, but in ways that frustrate me less and where I tend to be angry at myself for screwing something up rather than angry at a corporation for being hostile to its customers, which is something I'm angry about far too often as it is.

  • Child labour with 10 years of experience, 'AI-native' accepting 250k lines of Cursor code

    Jump

  • Tbf, if you're good at that and getting paid decently for it, it probably wouldn't suck that bad. There's definitely people out there who enjoy fixing/rewriting broken code. Fixing broken stuff is a real thrill for some folks.

    But it does suck that programmers good at other areas of programming, who prefer working on stuff that already works or coding new things from scratch, will end up being expected instead to fix chatbot slop.

  • Data Organization

    Jump

  • And you only even try to set up #1 after #2 causes a catastrophic data loss, or costs you five times as much wasted time finding a file that's causing problems.
