general

what Linux user, needs a obtuse curated store

why use ubuntu anyway

because it's the gold standard for Linux

and its for the victims of grandkids replacing their windows with linux

as a consumer OS

I hate the taskbar in Ubuntu

and they have said they aren't going to fix it

I hate sidebar taskbars, but that's not my main beef with the OS

I am liking elementary so far

From a consumer standpoint, I think Ubuntu is the only thing that has any chance of being used

and even then

they shoot themselves in the foot over and over

elementary is supposedly targetted at being easy to transition to from windows/mac

Isn't ELOS built ontop of Ubuntu?

no idea

i chose it for aesthetics

RHL is the current flavour of the month distro for industry

but it was such a pain in the ass to get installed

hasn't redhat always been the industry distro?

yes, but it's only recently it's gotten good adoption

last ~3 years

that's the first linux I was exposed to

my dad had a pc with it when I was a kid

If you had asked me a few years ago

I would have had a completely different outlook on Linux

with Windows being a pile of shit, and most casuals not needing more than a web browser (a la chromeOS, MacOS, or whatever)

I really though Linux could have capitalized

(read Ubuntu)

https://developer.elementary.io/ they have a custom language for app development apparently

brand loyalty ftw

yeah, it's just built ontop of Ubuntu

ok

I mean it looks nice, I don't really know why I'd use it

but if I'm ever bored I'll throw it in a VM

Not custom language

Just a collection of resources

the thing says its c# but with native C functionality

Design language is common

Baka

Vala

Not Baka, wow my autocorrect

I was wondering what you were calling me dumb about

Elementary is great

Not dumb, sorry

Didn’t mean that

i gathered

But yea, great is, app Center is great, lots of non-native apps are themed consintantly, unlike other diaries. Based off of Ubuntu and Debian, so lots of support and compatibility

I swapped to Debian about a month ago, but that’s because I wanted to make my own desktop environment

Any reason why you are dual booting

Just to mess around with Linux?

development

ah, alright

cool I got plex to share local data across boots too

Sorry I left I went to go play some video games, here are a couple of my reactions to the chat- "he is one of my favorite side characters on the server" I was pretty happy to see this, and I'm doing pretty well pika, I think it's really funny and accurate to describe me as a side character honestly As for me being a strange pick, I like to think it's my optimism and genuine innocence of wanting everyone to be happy

who the fuck

oh is this lamp

At your service

oh hey loveland

isnt that syren?

wait is it?

i forgot

they're all the same
