This is why the Linux community has a bad rep, you know. Mock the OS, not the users.

Mock the OS, not the users.

You're right. It's not Linux users who are idiots - after all they make their best of a bad world - it's Linux itself. Or, more broadly, GNU+Linux. I mean, what unholy hybrid of an ungulate with an aquatic bird did anyone think was going to help anyone?! I just don't understand how it succeeded like it has. Must be marketing. That Ian guy, and - whatshername - they're probably to blame.

There's an X in "Linux", and everyone's telling me that X is the coolest thing. Do you see anything like that in Windows?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's a + in my windows, and that means more!

Also I heard Linux is bored of x and they're going to rename it to Linuwayland, which sounds like Linoleum so it should be simple but easy to clean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bah, what is a + but an X with a stick up its arse!

Linuwayland is all about removing unnecessary bloat like window icons, absolute positioning, global hotkeys, a unified randr solution, color profiles, and nvidia support altogether -- the average PC user shouldn't see a difference.

I'm pretty sure if you remove the window icons the pope gets mad at you. Eastern Orthodox users might also have a problem, I'm not sure.

it's okay, I run a TempleOS VM for divine social credit

# sudo pacman -Rs cancer
:: removing cancer breaks dependency 'cancer' required by linux

Unfortunately it has metastasized to the kernel image. It's terminal.

But like which terminal dude because kitty uses GPU rendering dude and it would be wild if you’re still using a different terminal but also yeah fish is cool and all and it’s not fully compatible with bash but like did you know shebangs can fix most of that or like dude even better there are so many ohmyzsh extensions for zsh its crazy. Are you on Arch, btw? I’m on Arch, btw.

I'm also on Arch btw, I use zsh for CLI but exclusively bash for shell scripts, and my terminal of choice is kitty because I use lf and kitty is the only terminal I've seen so far that can reliably display images
