that makes more sense, because we do actually have pretty no-shit protocol for people going out on the range

Thank God Ubuntu is leading the way on this
will hopefully finally kill off their OS being the LTS "default" for Debian

Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Just very, very basic software. I only know their web browser, surf, having no tabs and people use it to limit their ADHD on the Internet
Surf is such a great meme
I have fun spinning up random trendy distros, and seeing if I can spot which specific minor thing caused the lead dev to bother making it
I do think in general, the shelf life of any specific distro feels like it's getting shorter and shorter
not necessarily a bad thing, just what I've felt, especially when people clearly dipped out and are a few years out-of-date with their commentary
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 What are you talking about, Pop_OS is stable and useable
God I love Pop_OS
Can we declare that the winner
And force the whole world to exclusively use it
I think last time we talked about Popos, I also went on my System76 screed
I want to like them more than I do
They're really performative in their whole concept
The fact that their bare bones kits have already been previously fully assembled, and are disassembled so you can play with your redditor Lego kit is retarded
We have a bunch of them, they're nice enough
But I don't think the usecase for a Linux laptop is really that large to begin with
Ignoring Mints Thinkpad mountain
Which is fun

in recent years it has sadly not increased
Honestly, Linux is about being fun at this point to me, I'd never use it as a main device (same with a Mac) but there's something pure and soulful of seeing different fundamental concepts

I use Linux for my main device but my use case is very easy. I just use the browser, audacity, and play games from a decade ago. The steam deck got me to switch over completely.

por que no los dos
I mean, you know how many computers I have
But I'm never going back to trying to have a non-windows main PC, or god-forbid dual booting
Windows has one thing going for it, which is that a single windows machine can handle being 30 different things at once...somehow
Linux as a standalone device (not as a container host or as part of a stack. Genuinely sucks at being multiple things
I like small GUI-forward Linux distros because they're interesting and fun to play around with, not because I think they fit into my schitzo workflow.
This is true in my VM stack too, my Windows Server VM probably does as much as 20 of my Linux VMs
