    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 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’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.”

          Ah yeah I was only messing really. There is no reason for 90% of people to switch to Linux if they’re happy with Windows or MacOs and I say this as someone who’s solely been using Linux for nearly 20 years now.

          Sure, it’s a great operating system but honestly most people just don’t…give a shit.

          It’s actually super easy now. If you can install Windows, you can install Linux (distro dependent obviously). You’ll have to learn to do power user things, but that’s true for Windows as well. Any issues are just a web search away. If you have to use the terminal, you’ll be given the commands to copy-paste.

            I’ve never installed windows either. 🙂 I picked all the parts for my current computer, but I paid a guy to do the assembly because I wasn’t confident in my ability, so he did all that. My ex husband did it on the previous build, and everything prior was a pre-built.

    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”.

    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.

          This response is perfect and I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it’s 100% serious and I read too much into it.

          There’s comedic genius in: “I hate talking about Linux, it’s just a tool” “In that case here’s a distro recommendation for you”

    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.

      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 got away after my my bachelor’s for IT, and I’m never going back.

      Commands are now called prayers and must end in “amen” or God will rm -rf your files.

      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. :(

            Mental illness, and, you know, the whole God thing aside, Terry Davis was one dedicated motherfucker. As crude as templeOS is, the shit he did to create it is pretty impressive.

            I’m too afraid to install it for fear of bursting into flames tho.
