Fun fact, you don’t even need to crawl through hundreds of feet of black water waste pipe to install Linux.
In fact it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Blasphemy…. There is only Linux from scratch.
All else’s is a heresy most offensive!
(I’m jesting, if it wasn’t clear. Most distros work well out of the box.)
(I would recommend lfs for anyone who likes to learn the hard way. You will learn as you go, but it can be frustrating.)
In 2002 I was lost. I went to Las Vegas ready to gamble it all away. I got in late. There I sat on the bed. Unable to move on. I don’t know why but on a whim I opened the drawer of the night stand. There I saw it. I don’t know who put it there or why. The Linux Bible. All I know is from that very day my life was changed.
The security conference DEFCON and other technical conferences are held every year at Vegas, I wonder if someone from DEFCON put it there, lol
Hahahaha!! My friend’s brother went to defcon, and told us he left “a little surprise” in the night stand in the hotel. I wonder if that was him!
How it feels to study the Arch wiki
Vs how it feels to install Mint
Where does it go?
In the square hole
To be fair, I didn’t even have to think this hard on the Mint install.
Installing Mint really is really something special for how easy it is
It’s the easiest OS I’ve every installed
Though the amount I’ve installed is fairly low lol
C’mon, installing Arch Linux was the easiest install in my entire life, and I tried all the major distros. The difficult thing is to set it up to your needs after you installed it, as it’s just very barebones.
Welcome
$HOME😊It unironically feels this way. I enjoy booting up my machine again like in the good old days.
Actually. Installed Fedora KDE recently and it’s a breath of fresh air. An OS made by people for people rather than some soul sucking corporation that’s speed running their own collapse…
I can’t really enjoy it because it’s too fast
I don’t have time to make my coffee anymore 😭😭😭
Like washing off the stench of 1000 toilets from your body after crawling several miles through raw sewage.
Missing caption: “What the hell is the command to turn the water off?” 🙂
Just kidding of course. I’ve been using Linux pretty much since forever and I love it. But there’s a learning curve if you just switched to it.
searches how to and finds a 20 y.o answer in some forum that answers exactly that
Every morning when I’m working with MicroSlop users
I had messed around with Linux and failed for a while, as I was using dialup and was trying to get win modem drivers working under linux. Fast forward a few years later and I finally switched when i finally had broadband, and the concept a virtual machine was really becoming industry standard in late 2000’s, and I wanted to start experimenting with them, I hated trying to hunt down windows licenses for each VM I wanted to run, and I started messing around with Linux in VM’s as they were free. Thank Tux, I finally started running Ubuntu on my bare metal machines around Ubuntu 7.04 I think, my WiFi drivers “just worked” and it was magical.
Yes, and using many closed source apps really feels like crawling through that pipe.
That man is going to catch a cold
sudo rm ./cold
It really do be like that
Gross, you have to get wet? I’m out.
Edit. Gif, to get the joke across.
I love Linux. I use it daily.
That said, man am I tired of the circle jerks on Lemmy. Calm down, guys. Calm. Down.
My friend you’re in the Linux Memes community, the home of Linux circlejerking lol
