And then comes the wonderful realm of the BSDs and the OpenSolaris derivatives

Windows isn't afraid of tech, but MacOS is? Give me a break, the Unix style terminal is the reason for using MacOS professionally.

bro why is kali in the "you have no life" section ?? Everyone knows ethical hackers get all the girls

I use Arch btw

Guess I don't have a life.

Use btw I Arch.

i use linux BECAUSE i fear technology...

maybe more accurately it should be 'understand' technology, but then why would windows be there ?

I use Windows because i need to use certain Software

What an odd take.

Every dev I know must be terrified of technology as they all use apple laptops. I don’t love apple but they make a pretty sweet *nix laptop for dev work.

I'm posting from an actual abacus.

Has Gentoo stopped being the distro of choice for people with too much time on their hands?

why the heck is gentoo isn't in no life section but Kali is????

It's more about gaming compatibility for me.

I know Linux had been making great progress. But not every game runs well on non mainstream OS's.

Linux is to main stream -> OpenBSD

I don't know much about it lately, but aren't Fedora and Ubuntu considered bad nowadays? Mint imo was absolutely great every time I used it except for proprietary drivers needing extra reboots(might be different now)

Facebook has an os?

What is the puzzle piece? Linux from scratch?

lol, yeah somebody really hates Macs..... I work in tech, and lots of my colleagues also use Mac, I love my Mac....

Have no life, still chose Fedora / Debian. The days of Ubuntu are long gone tho.

Fedora in the 'has a life section'? Yes, having to reinstall an old version of shim-x64 on an encrypted disk, because the new version breaks the handover from UEFI to bootloader (and therefore even rescue mode is not accessible) is something that everybody is able to do in an instant.

Or dealing with a crashing window manager, getting your Bluetooth headset to work in a stable and predictable manner, etc.

I've had Fedora as a daily driver for over two years, switched to Manjaro because I grew tired of having to deal with a constant stream of issues and crashes. I won't say that there is anything inherently bad about Fedora and I may have had a stroke of bad luck, but it is relatively bleeding edge and therefore one should expect issues to pop up from time to time.

"Do you have a life", FTFU!

Wooooo!!! Ubuntu

Why you put kali in no life 🧐 what problem does it have

"do you have a life" -> "Are you independently capable"

FTFY

And here I thought I didn't have a life. What a a pleasant surprise!

Accurate

I wouldn't say I'm that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it's UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I'm going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I'm just using Krita. I'm lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can't be bothered loading yet.

Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that's been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.

Jokes on you I devolved from Arch to macOS

I tried watch the other day. Couldn't get passed the first step in the installer. It was like using a computer from the late 80s.

A meme about Linux and BSD and all those nerdy things on a general meme subreddit community that has more than 500 upvotes (with 1000 being a really high number of votes)? If this post was back on Reddit, say r/Memes, it would probably only get 100. Lemmy needs to somehow diversify its demographics such that less technical don't feel as alienated after joining. (To be clear, this is not a criticism on this post.)
