Alpine should be considered harmful

that’s a rather anti-liberal sentiment coming from what one would assume to be a mostly pro-liberal open source community.

was Stallman really the author of that copypasta? I mean it’s funny to pretend he did, but does anyone know for sure?

To be perfectly honest, I actually prefer sitting at the fringes of demographics. Keeps my engineering skills sharp.

But I’ve never met anyone like this. Do they exist?

Put my mother on mint. The only issue she encountered was the mouse cursor not appearing sometimes, but that hasn’t happened in a while. Other than that, she can hardly tell the difference from windows 10. You should go through with it.

I agree, but I don’t want to use one until an open source one exists.

People using the term ‘subroutine’ like it’s 1976

Where on the chart does studying spec sheets and writting rasterization algorithms in c fall?

But what if… I took Debian, and disguised it as my own distro? Ho ho ho! Delightfuly devilish, Seymore!

You can’t expect me to remember the right words for things while studying for engineering finals

It’s nice when memes are drawn completely from scratch like this. It gives just a little validation to this silly scrolling we all do everyday.

glad to hear you’re not having issues. Wish we could all be so fortunate.

Nvidia hardware is great for anything besides gaming/daily driving. I use my nvidia card all the time for re-encoding large video files in h264. As soon as I can afford an amd though, video encoding will become the only thing I use nvidia for.

Counterpoint: why should the standard for “just works” mean no CLI? What if distro maintainers decide that their user’s experience is improved by relegating some tasks to the shell?

Thanks for reminding me that the DS9 box set is a high priority on my ripping list

Solution: install windows for them, but complain and evangelize at every opportunity. You’ll be so insufferable they’ll never ask you again.

I only use flatpack when I need the most up to date version of a software for whatever reason.

While AMD is certainly better than the alternatives when it comes to device compatibility, we’re still missing an open multi-platform cross-architecture compile-time standard (like a “C for graphics programing.”). So long as that remains the case, the graphics market will continue to have a number of artificial barriers to entry that favor Microsoft Windows.

Welll first you draw this head…

you know, I’m begining to think this whole “readiness” idea is completely arbitrary. The same people who today complain about linux’s supposed difficulty, were just fine using their home micro-computer in the 80’s. If you ask me, the only people who are defining what “ready” means, is Microsoft’s marketing department.
