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.

You don't have tine worrying about mental health problems when you are installing linux from scratch btw!
I'm sorry you must of meant GNU/Linux. Linux is just the kernel, while gnu is the operating system. I hope you're using more than just linux 👻
That way, instead of taking care of yourself, you can the care of your machine !
Especially if it's arch Linux
Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.
I see a lot of the "even once you pick a Linux distro you get yelled at for using the wrong one" and like I just haven't seen that here?
Lemmy is by far the chilliest place of Linux users I've ever fucking seen. Even when I posted an issue on the Linux mint forum I got fucking told "well you used XFCE, there's your issue" despite it being the better choice for that system
We absolutely will pressure people to try it, because we're a cult. Meetings on Thursdays at 9PM for my local chapter
Just wait till you say you're using Ubuntu. ^^;
Ok, even I have a cringe reaction to that by default
Even then though I've only really seen people go "you should try mint instead, basically that but without the proprietary stuff"
Think I did see ONE guy weirdly assholish about it but haven't seen em in a while
If you’re triggered, maybe you should try Linux!
Linux is the operating system of the effeminate punk nerd. Also of the dude who looks and talks like a wizard
Can confirm :3
lemmy users be like: linux, star trek, elon musk, trump, socialism, linux
You forgot linux.
But do you use Trumpix or Ubuntu Tesla Edition?
Forgot 🏳️⚧️
They already said linux
Be the change
