I had someone ask me what os I used, then when I said Linux he went “oh you could only go 10 minutes without saying you used Linux huh” and I’m just like dude you literally asked, wtf do you want from me
my friends do shit like that all the time like you were just saying “windows does stupid thing” and all I said was “linux does this instead they should be doing that on windows” and immediately the neckbeard with fedora gifs start flying
Without knowing your dynamic or their tone:
They probably just wanted to poke fun and baited you into setting it up. It’s kinda like updog or ligma.Of course, it could also be ignorance, or malice, but personally, I don’t randomly ask people what OS they use unless I expect them to even understand that question. Their reply suggests they are well aware that you’re using Linux, so ignorance is unlikely, and if they knew your answer and didn’t want to hear it, they probably wouldn’t ask.
Slackware was my very first Linux distro (now I feel old).
Same here, I got hired as a “webmaster” at a place that had been using some Yahoo web services for their website and they had dialup Internet accounts for everybody in the office. For the same money I got them access to a fractional T1 and set up a server on an old 486 gathering dust in the back room. We served up their webpages from in-house. They thought I was a god, I was just a big fat resume-padded liar who stayed up reading Usenet all night lol. Those were the days and I’ll never forget that distro:
36-Page installation guide…
I wish there was one that’s up to date today. I’d pay good money for that.
If you install Slackware now, you can’t open linuxquestions.org (the official support forum) because the Firefox version is too old for the Capcha. If you then doslackpkg upgrade-alland reboot, it won’t boot cause you forgot to point the bootloader towards the new kernel. Things like that can really bounce you off the distro.Whaaa?
I will admit, I’ve never run slack.
My first slackware install guide was a three inch thick book so 36 pages is like the absolute bare minimum.
Slack got me through college on an ancient (even at the time) ThinkPad 600e. Good times!
I had a suite of scripts to log in to the university Linux cluster, download the kernel source and out-of-tree modules (required for the PCMCIA WiFi adapter), compile it, and rsync it back to my laptop.
“We use NixOS”, said all the urinals
Fattest, loneliest, smelliest, basement livingest mofo this world has ever seen:
Struts up.
Squeezes right between.
Forces them to the adjacent urinals.
Adjusts glasses taped together.
Clears voice through braces that should have been removed years ago.
In an authoritative weezy voice.
I use LFS by the way.
LFS is a great learning resource and has a lot of uses besides.
Sure… But do you use it?
Daily? No, but there is a device that runs on it, there was even time when I had a whole fleet of boxes all running custom lfs based distribution.
I use Ubuntu and no I’m not going to switch to mint. I use Debian on the server though.
I use debian bt… ouch. my laptop keyboard is burning my fingers because I’m too stupid to install the correct drivers and my laptop has started overheating.
That’s a feature though
And thus spacemacs was born
(No, really)
The alt text is always good. Too many words to copy and paste.
But think of the children!
now kish
Guy in the bathroom stall: … I use Mac!
Guys and gals pissing in the hallway, lobby, parking lot, bushes, behind the building and inside the office: … we use windows 11!
