When you haven't told anyone you use Linux for a while

Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

Akshually its called GNU/Linux 🤓

I feel personally attacked by this post.

I'm still on Windows 10. Sure would love a reason to switch...

You fucking fiends.

It's actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That's how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.
Start on your grandmother's PC she can join the fun
- games
  On Linux?
- Great, thanks. But isn't she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn't know how to "hack" or "code" or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol...?

Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks

Btw I don't use Arch

I use glorious Nixos.

This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.

How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...
- Have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior....
Can confirm, not a current linux user. I have a DnD group to talk too...

I saw this, told my cats, and felt better

Warning: useless use of cat
I feel worse because I don’t have cats and you do have cats. It’s a catastrophe.
- step one: put food bowl out and refill it on a constant schedule
  there is no step two
  Edit: listing is hard
Did they switch to Linux?
- They can do the cat command. I may have moved a paw to help
- No idea about the cats but it would be good if my mice were to switch to QMK.

It's like the Crossfit of tech

I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.

I have to use windows at my new job, and I hate it so much. Have I said that in the last few minutes?

Yeah, about 4 minutes ago
- Thank god I got it out in time.
  Windows sucks balls.

open a terminal and enter the command:

yes I am using Linux

U R using yes the wrong way.
- $ yes no
I had a nightmare where my computer reverted back to windiws
- Is it the duel boot nightmare again, im so sorry. Those dreams are so vivid.
Don't know how to type uname -a ?

I haven’t mentioned Linux for decades

I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️

Hey guys, I use Linux Mint btw!

I been thinking about trying pop! OS, anyone got reviews?
- Not as good as Mint for me

I use Arch BTW.

I will install arch soon on my host.
The arch linux experience (in the vm) is great so far. Just search if you need help, install corresponding software for something to work, etc.

Told the wasps outside and they stung me for my insolence.

My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

I'm as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue
- I just want real S3 sleep back, Windows or Linux… “modern standby” blows
- My Linux laptop hibernates just fine...
- I guess so, but can one set it up from the installer? Asking geniunely.

You should make a meme about tech corporations spending billions to advertise their products

Head tilt and jaw thrust when bag valve masking

I loved that part as well as her post ROSC CPAP, rather than intubation. lol

https://screamintothevoid.com/

I just go here everyday and tell it, the void doesn't judge, it just accepts and disregards.

I use Mint btw.

Scream Into The Void dot com > Privacy Policy.
Having a privacy policy that links to the Warner Bros website doesn't really make it feel like a void.
Also, I haven't heard of cookies dropping out of the void.
Prefer this
bash

while true; do echo "I use Linux btw" > /dev/null; sleep 899; done

Looks more like the reaction by those randos who seem to think everything on the internet is made by AI.

For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.

Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.

top left pic is the same girl in the meme about the guy watching another girl while walking with her GF ?

I'm using MX Linux BTW

Been actively suffocating for 10min

Yeah, well so.

Quietly: I run a Linux server at home.

Nobody brags about windows lmao

Not these days, at least.
I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.
Most people don’t brag about their OS at all. For the vast majority, if it can accomplish the tasks it needs to accomplish, that is that.
- I gather you've never met an Apple fan, then.

I use kubuntu btw

I dunno, I've never head anyone evangelize Windows.

Apple, yes. But honestly Linux users seem to have overtaken Apple users with their evangelizing.

3D printed rear window decoration:

I 3D printed this on Arch, btw

Mint users specifically

Replace “Linux” with “arch” and then it’s golden.

Change it from minutes to seconds and make it Nix.

Switching to Linux desktop was last years news. Now I go around telling everyone about my Linux server (Debian BTW).

As a basic bitch Mint user, I like seeing the meme using women instead of the usual men! Didn't even know I wanted that.

Mint ftw.

In panel 3 is that two people collectively performing CPR with one hand each? Is that something that people do?

That is just one person with their hands woven together. You can see the part of the hand coming out of the sleeve of the white coat of the other person the CPR person is next to.
What concerns me more is how she went from CPR to being on a CPAP sleep apnea machine in Panel 4.
Its just like in movies having scenes where they add a second keyboard to type faster.
And they show the screen doing an apt-get upgrade

slackware btw

hahaha joke's on you all. i wait until there's some essential thing i need to do (like installing a program for work, school, etc) and then if it doesn't work because it's only for windows i tell them

or if they ask, but that hasn't happened yet

i ve been forced to use windooze, help me
