Mint snaps Ubuntu or something

I just don't know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don't know anything about Linux, I know I'm not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It's like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it's suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don't speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don't know!
I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can't stop.
- The noodle thing is because of a dude that posts heavily on ich iel and it's called Instantnudel. Things took a turn from there. Apparently, he's currently getting laid more often due to a fitting Tinder match and everybody's missing their daily dose of noodly memes.
  Something like that.
  
  I speak a small amount of German and i didn't know this.
  But i look at the memes and move on haha
- The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.
  Choo Choo!
  
  I've thought about it and then I remember that I'm pretty dumb about stuff that doesn't interest me much, so it would have to be a situation where someone else was like, "here's your linux computer, I already set up all your stuff and your games all work."
  
  As long as it doesn't have anything to do with German noodles
  
  Freedom is a confusing emotion.
- I use Linux since 2008 and I don't get most of the Linix Memes as well. :) I also know German as a native language and don't get most of the ich_iel stuff. You are not alone.
  
  I thought that was a sub for people who didn't like that they were eels or something.
- That describes 80% of my path to becoming a Linux admin.
- Meme is a lie. Linux is tofu. It absorbs whatever flavor you hope, but only after performing tasks and you still want the other thing sometimes.
- The noodles is quite easy. One of our most active posters is called "Instantnudel" (instant noodles). In his memes he puts this block of instant noodles on the persons head that's meant to represent him.

I had a conversation with a friend last night and he was talking about something Linux related and I accidentally contributed to the conversation. I immediately thought "god dammit Lemmy".

Also, let's not forget...
Best Linux Distro: Arch
Worst Linux Distro: Believe it or not, also Arch
- The best one is always Hanna Montana Linux.
- Most Popular Linux Distro: MX Linux
  
  Hannah Montana Linux by far
- I loved running Arch, but I run mint because I don't have the time for Arch.
- Nah the worst is either manjaro or ubuntu for ideological reasons
  
  why is manjaro bad?
  
  You shouldn't use Ubuntu.
  That way there's more Ubuntu for me!

You WILL eat your vegetables. It's good for you. One day you will install it and you will be grateful.
- Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don't like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don't want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don't want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.
  
  In that case Mint would be perfect for you.
  
  All three? Linux, FreeBSD, and TempleOS?
  
  Um actually it's macOS now

Kid: "Mom, can we have Linux?"
Mom: "We have Linux at home!"
Linux at home:
- Instead of daemons, it's angels.
  
  Angaels*
  
  No, it's church services
- https://pudge.net/jesux/
  Jesux, the distribution that will not lead you into temptation
  
  Just port TempleOS for modern architecture and use that, you filthy heathen
  
  No encryption provided; Christians have nothing to hide
  I actually 100% support this. Let's make sure every church only uses HTTP and does not hash their passwords.
  After all...what do they have to hide?
- I once met someone back in school (eons ago) that was both a devout Born-again Christian and wildly enthusiastic Linux user. I once remarked that I personally witnessed him convert more people to Linux than Christianity.
  Stupid teenage me didn't mean to come of as so savage, but judging by the look on his face, I think that broke him a little. :(
- Commands are now called prayers and must end in "amen" or God will rm -rf your files.

- What is this image and umm where does it come from?
  
  Yeah we need to know. For science of course for science

The Jehovah's witness of lemmy
- Hey have you heard about Arch?
  
  Did you read the sign on my front door? No distro solicitors. Get off my lawn.
- How many of us get to go to Linux heaven?

Are you not entertained?

After much dedicated and persistent blocking of communities, I don't see much Linux on lemmy anymore. But I don't see much on lemmy anymore.

Would be more accurate if it said Linux memes: I don't think I've seen any facts AFAIK.
- Here's a fact: I use Arch.
  
  Btw
  
  can you please speak clearly, I don't understand your accent btw
  
  Nah I'm pretty sure that's a meme 😝
- 4% adoption, it's the year of Linux!
  Boom, fact
- What you just said is a linux fact
  
  Oh true, I've been seeing all these facts cleverly disguised as memes 😂
  Too bad my memory isn't good enough to absorb them permanently.

Posting on an open-source platform and being surprised by the amount of people who talk about an open-source operating system is something.
- It is definitely a thing. I would categorize it as such. I'd dare say it is one of the things of all time.
  
  more evidence that we do live in a society...

I want to be her. Where can I find someone to spoon-feed me Linux?
- Try Ubuntu. I switched to it from Windows. It worked on my laptop with no issues or needing to install (or learn how to install) any extra stuff
  
  I already did all that. I had a Lenovo ThinkPad from 2018-2024 (RIP it died) completely Linux/Ubuntu but I really didn't know how to use it. I just used it like windows. Didn't know how to maximize its linux capabilities.

I installed my first slackware from a dozen 3.5" floppies
- I bought a RedHat Unleashed book as a kid back in the late 90s simply because it came with an iso for RH 5 already burned to CD. I didn't have a cd-r drive, and I couldn't figure out how to boot from my external Zip Disk drive. I kinda miss Zip Disk, those were pretty cool.
  
  have a 1T usb drive for backups the last 10 years. machines come and go. backups persist and you only need one good copy

*GNU/Linux
- I use GNU/Linux btw
  
  ... or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux

This is me with my wife

Eh. If you can't beat them, join them.
I use Arch BTW.
- I got away after my my bachelor's for IT, and I'm never going back.

It’s the experience x

People open to change are more open to new ideas and new experiences!
- And if you’re not open to change, you have to eat sometime

It's time for you to get domestic penguin

It's full circle back to how Slashdot was for me. Though at the time shuttleworth and canonical were seen as good guys. I haven't used it for years, but I guess snap really made people dislike them.
- It's not just Snap, but Snap is the latest example of a bigger problem. For a while now Ubuntu have had a habit of trying to invent a new wheel rather than using their considerable resources to improve the wheel that the open source community is already working on. So you had all the time wasted on Unity instead of contributing to Gnome, all the time wasted on Mir instead of contributing to Wayland, and now Snap is just the latest example of them trying to push their own thing. There's also their insistence on controlling everything about LXD which is why it's forked off as Incus now, and so on.
  Ubuntu could be doing a lot of good in the open source world, but they don't want to be involved in anything if they're not totally in control of it. So instead they're a black hole sucking up resources that could be used for better things.
  
  they do set an example for others to avoid

Lol so truw

I block all Linux related groups.
- 👍
