Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. (slrpnk.net)

Funny description came up about Linux this weekend from my father in law. He kept referring to Linux as an "aftermarket OS". First time I've heard it out like that, didn't bother responding tbh lol.

It kinda makes sense, most consumer PCs come with either windows or macOS.

You're also the weirdo using singular verbs with a plural noun. An unusual choice for sure.

Edit: wow, thanks for the downvotes. I thought we had moved away from the childish knee-jerk reactions that reddit was famous for.

You can do that in some languages, even in english, just replace "all people" with "everyone". From the usage of "all people" I'm assuming @[email protected] is a native speaker of a romance/latin language.

So.. you're saying that if we change the word to one that works, then the sentence is okay.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Yes, and I always screw up with these kinds of sentences.

My first Distro was OpenSuse. idk. even why anymore, but maybe already because of KDE. I just never got warm with Gnome and to me KDE feels easier to get a grasp off, when coming from windows.

I have a lot of love for OpenSuse. Back in my teenage years, I used it and Ubuntu a lot. zypper is the best package manager, and YaST made configuration easier since I didn't know config files yet.
