  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Nah. Mint users aren't babies, they're the most everyman user. You probably won't find them on a linuxmemes page because they installed it out of frustration with co-pilot and don't want to know what an operating system is.

    Ubuntu is accurate. Arch is accurate and also how dare you. Fedora is slander. That's linus torvalds' distro you're dissing. Debian… Gonna go out on a limb and say nobody uses debian on a personal machine. If its installed on something its your set it and forget it machine. The webserver that serves your neocities ass looking website. or your company's email server. Its not for old people, its for old machines. Or machines that plan on growing old.

    Linux mint user here, I'm using it because I can't be bothered to spend my precious few spare time on fixing things my OS decided to break. I want something that just works, and mint fits the bill, and comes out of the box with most of the things set up how I like.

    See this makes me feel like I should be using arch, but I'm an idiot whos practically slobering all over the keyboard. I just want my pretty ui and for inkscape and my browser to work and to not have to worry about things unless I'm choosing to tinker

    If I have to use the terminal for an prolonged period of time I might cry. I almost got void fully installed and working, but I just wanted my new replacement laptop up and running after my old one broke, so I gave up πŸ₯Ή

    Fairly accurate. SUSE is more like an IT guy forced to wear a suit to work that is not tailored well.

    This guy is Kali Linux or Qubes/Whonix/TailsOS:

    Don't forget the Gentoo crowd

    Hoodie, MX Master and Gentoo, that's literally my old stack, except it was a desktop not laptop.

    I installed it last week. If just kinda works, is there supposed to be something bad about it?

    [–] addie@feddit.uk 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Speaking as an Arch btw user, my socks match, thank you very much. How rude.

    Meh...use what you use, don't judge others for what they use... unless it's windows, fuck those guys.

    [–] ratel@mander.xyz 8 points 1 hour ago

    I just assume that everyone arguing over distros has been using Linux for less than 3 years. If you're an experienced user you're just happy more people joined the ~~cult~~ community.

    [–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    Cis straight male Arch user checking in. There's all kinds of us, everyone is welcome to wear what they like and feel what they feel.

    Ask for help and help you shall have. (It'll just... it'll be someone giving you a link to a wiki page, or the wiki page, or saying "check the wiki", BUT YOU WILL BE HELPED BECAUSE THE WIKI IS GO(O)D!)

    There's dozens of us! Represent!

    [–] sudo@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    Idk about the mega neckbeard for opensuse. Every one I've met has been the most normal and least annoying. It just works and allegedly has some very nice convienence features.

    Also the arch user could just as easily be copied to nixos.

    [–] fizzle@quokk.au 1 points 8 minutes ago

    Don't take it too seriously mate.

    [–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

    This is me as an opensuse user

    Tuxedo OS - a child in a red tuxedo t-shirt

    I've been on TuxedoOS for a while. Everything has worked so well I've managed to quell my distro hopping for a couple years now.

    It's pretty underrated, it's like Mint or Pop but with KDE (and therefore better) and better optimization if you buy their hardware.

    Same. I feel well represented as a Debian user.

    I have limited experience here, but can confirm that being a sleeping baby is quite pleasant.

    I too am new to Linux and love mint

    [–] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 51 minutes ago

    I love Mint because I put my geriatric, non-techie dad on it 6 or 7 years ago and he's only asked me for help 3 times. And ΓΎe second time was because he bought a new (used) laptop and wanted Linux Mint on it instead of ΓΎe Windows it came wiΓΎ.

    [–] NeilNuggetstrong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

    What about us distrohoppers? Just schizos?

    That would explain a lot about me...

    Where Slackware?? WHERE SLACKWARE??!!

    Ha, I WISH mint was accurate. Then I could be in bed asleep.

    Excellent! OpenRC crowd! ✊

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

    Swap Ubuntu and mint, and Suse needs to be visibly German.

    So... this for Tumbleweed and lederhosen for leap?

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

    I sleep as cozy as a baby in a cable knit onesie with Mint on my computers. Looks pretty accurate.

    [–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

    😭😭😭😭 I wish my legs looked that good in stripey leggings...but sadly they do not

    [–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

    Ya my thighs thicc so they just won't stay up

    [–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All I see are legs that have never completed a single squat.

    [–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

    Can confirm. Run OpenSUSE and my neckfolds run for days.
