eh, i think arch is the more usable of the “diving deeper” distros. arch, gentoo, and lfs(if you can call that a distro) are good for trying to understand the deeper parts of the system.

i use cachy btw

my manjaro has been running the same install for 6 years on ext4 no separate home partition…

what are yall doing to brick your machines?

um the original meme says “linux is the stupidest thing ever” on the pendulum.

sorry youre in a bad mood. and sorry i contributed to it.

ah yeah that’s fair. but also i kinda agree with that person’s response. getting frustrated with linux doesnt mean linux sucks, it means you are learning. ive been using linux for over 20 years, and i still find plenty of things that take me out of my element. and that’s a good thing.

without looking it up:

chown -R

cp -r

ls -r

rsync. (idk, i always google this one)

scp -r

zip -r

but why not look it up? you either use a tool and arguments often enough to memorize it, or you don’t.

is speech (or speach i guess) ever a verb? its a noun describing the talking. you don’t speech, you speak.

“slow speech” “give a speech” “her speech” “speech writer” “speech class”

vs

“speak with an accent” “speaking of the mandella effect” “i love to listen to you speak”

i feel like youre getting ”speech” and ”speak" confused here…

i worked a bunch of places where the door just says that and has no alarm

the point of gentoo is spending all your time watching packages compile.

not talking shit, i love it.

vim

i dont think so… you need waydroid to run android apps. i think its proper linux…

i really hope fairphone themselves picks it up. it would be incredible if fp7 (or 8, give them time) could be 100% (or close) compatible with linux out of the box. even if it required closed source blobs for like the radios or whatever. they can still ship with the option of regular android to not scare off the normies

i put postmarket on my fp5 and it runs pretty damn well. with a little more polish it absolutly could be my daily driver. it is very close.

i know its a lot to hope for, but i think faiphone is in a unique position to do this if they ever decided to.

i use arch but look more like the suse one

hey at least we actually think and don’t offload it to a machine.

calling him the antichrist is giving him too much credit. he’s just a vile human being.

thats totally fair. im just noting what ive seen. feels like we’re hitting a tipping point tho. i dont expect a majority any time soon, but i think we could be pushing 20/30℅ before too long

ive been using linux since the 90s, and its finally at the point where the only thing holding it back is specific proprietary software that people think they need, or maybe properly need. i struggled like hell trying to run software i needed in college around 2007 for my math classes.

if we get enough of a market share, there will be more motivation to port to linux. not that that means itll happen

manjaro is rolling release. ive had the same install on my desktop for 6 years.

so is macos people running the apple chips and osx is people still running x86/64?

ive noticed lots of videos on youtube of people switching to linux.

honestly, i think the Linus Tech Tips linux challenge videos gave many people confidence to take the leap, along with people’s general distain for win11, and probably also the work Valve’s been doing on proton and the “release” of the steam machine is driving all this.

it really feels like adoption has spiked.

whats the difference between osx and macos?
