Meanwhile Pop_OS! is back in Brooklyn keeping the plumbing business going.
*plumbing ..... unless you were going for some sexual innuendo I don't understand
Time to lay some pipe.
Thank you. I first typed "pumping" and only fixed half the typo before I hit post.
Real talk, Pop_OS! is just nice. Besides Blackbox and like 3 Gnome Extensions I hadn't had to change or add anything. It's a great experience and I recommend it to everyone.
Here comes Arch Linux with a steel chair!!
Here comes Arch Linux with the parts for a steel chair! Now they're pulling out the instructions for putting it together! Uh oh, the instructions say what kind of bolts they need, but not how many! Arch is trying to fit it all together anyway! Hmm, looks like some of the assembly steps are missing... ok, Arch has got something that looks like a chair constructed... now they're going to test it by sitting down... oh, and the chair frame has held together but the seat has fallen off. Arch forgot about not breaking user space again!
And now here comes Gentoo with a... a coal forge? Oh my God he's forging a steel chair from a metal blank! But what's this? Hes pulling out a smaller forge to forge a hammer for the bigger forge! The humanity!
And now here comes Debian, he enters the room and sits on chair that was there for few years already, and sits there for the next few years
And oh my god, here comes Windows with a steel chair! Its a fine chair that almost anyone can sit in, as long as its updated regularly and paid for, or else they take off two of the legs. She whacks you with it, but only with the long end of the chair by default, which really stings. If you prefer to be hit with the flat of the chair, she desperately tries to convince you that being hit with the Edge is better.
this thread is hilarious
I never used Gentoo. Was it really that bad lol
I briefly experimented with it ages ago. And I mean ages ago, like 20+ years ago. Maybe it's changed somewhat since then, but my understanding is that Gentoo doesn't provide binary packages. Everything gets compiled from source using exactly the options you want and compiled exactly for your hardware. That's great and all but it has two big downsides:
- Most users don't need or even want to specify every compile option. The number of compile options to wade through for some packages (e.g. the kernel) is incredibly long, and many won't be applicable to your particular setup.
- The benefits of compiling specifically for your system are likely questionable, and the amount of time it takes to compile can be long depending on your hardware. Bear in mind I was compiling on a Pentium 2 at the time, so this may be a lot less relevant to modern systems. I think it took me something like 12 hours to do the first-time compile when I installed Gentoo, and then some mistake I made in the configuration made me want to reinstall and I just wasn't willing to sit through that again.
Mint Debian Edition FTW
Newb here: what's the diff?
I don't use arch BTW
From my limited understanding it's based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.
Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that's been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it's now useable again! Praise be Linux.
Green Ubuntu best Ubuntu!
Use linux mint debian edition because ubuntu sucks ass
It's a bit extreme to say Ubuntu sucks ass. Ubuntu brought Linux to the masses.
Windows helped to bring the concept of an operating system to the masses too. Does that mean it's impossible to ever ruin it's reputation?
He mean it's the Ubunto brothers sexual preference
That's true but...I have been in GNI/Linux for just a year and have been reading how Ubuntu nowdays is awful but it was a great distro a few years ago.
Anyway, my opinion on Ubuntu has no weight since all I have used is Arch based distros
from now on i am going to start calling Ubuntu "red arch"
Peach is Hanna Montana Linux
But Mint is better <.<
I guess the thing is "Ubuntu is the friendly distro" but then also "Mint is the friendly distro?" Way back in like 2009 (okay, turns out it's been a little while) Mint was super comfy and Ubuntu already felt like it was in my way without actually being any easier.
I like the joke from the '89 movie, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, Mario is the last name.
We need a yellow evil Ubuntu and a purple evil Green Ubuntu to complete the set
... and Chrome could be Bowser .... the terrible monster browser that plagues all of them but is linked to everyone
funny how when i was younger i thought bowser's name was browser
LMDE enters the chat
