I have been to some shady pubs and nightclubs in my life, non of them had so much violent people as a linux bugreport thread.
And people wonder why Linux has never gained large marketshare
Oh, for sure. Windows marketshare never drops only because of its friendly community.
I’m so glad I can mostly just ask my Linux questions to AI now instead of hoping I can find someone who will tell me how to do what I want instead of berating my choices and attitude.
I’m on Linux bitch I thought you gnu
Best ERB.

I had GPT write and perform this too a while back. I guess I remember-stole that line when I had the AI write the song
Welcome to the endless civil war between Linux distros.
advice #1; never type v-i-m in succession. it summons demons.
Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice,
Pipewire/Pulseaudio(last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc…Nvim > emacs
It begins
Nvim < Emacs + Vim keybindings (aka
evil
).Tried Helix yet?
Cue* in this case. English sucks.
Thanks. Wrote cue first, but changed it because I got confused.
Hah yeah it’s crazy. Anyway, zsh or death.
Fish is obviously superior (:
It’s POSIX shell or nothing
We’re not enemies as soon as a Windows user walks in. Or… Uuuugh… A Mac user.
I’m actually switching to Mac at work (only two options) because I can’t deal with the Windows environment anymore. Of locked down corporate environments, Windows is absolutely the worst.
This may not be the place to ask, but is there a guide you’d recommend for a lifelong windows user to try out Linux?
I’ve had a Steam Deck for a while now and love it and feel I could probably make the leap.
I have no idea why this comic in particular motivated me to finally ask.
Edit: I just want to say an incredible thank you to everyone and your advice. I was just looking for a link to a guide and ya’ll wrote them yourselves.
I think the prevailing advice of creating a virtual machine to play around in seems like a very good place to start.
And so it’s been since the dawn of computing, when the Colossus engineers told the ENIAC engineers to “RTFM newbs”

This is why I just use ChatGPT to tell me how to fix my linux
The “RTFM” linux users.
First rule of Arch Linux is you defintely talk about Arch Linux
I use Arch by the way.
I use Arch and only use Vim or Emacs for config files. That’s Linux flex culture right there. 🙂
Pathetic and bloated. Nano is all you need
Vim or Emacs? Stick to one, you editor two timer!
I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.
Debian unstable for all 11 of us crazy fuckers out there.
Tbh, I haven’t experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven’t encountered any issues.
Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn’t like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.

I use Arch btw

Honestly the installation guide is super easy to follow and well on the shorter side. Installing arch isn’t the arduous test of one’s linux knowledge some make it out to be

Arch users: I updated grub and my computer won’t boot. Wtf?!
Other distros: thank you for finding the bug on latest version of grub. It’s fixed now so our users don’t have to experience it.
You’re welcomed 😉
In case anyone else was wondering, I use Arch.
So do I, but that dosen’t mean we aren’t enemies.
This can be true. But then there are communities like the EndeavourOS Forum. It’s one of the few online places I genuinely enjoy hanging out in.
