Servers and phones: Are we a joke to you?

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where is Linux most popular?

*points at server*

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Points at cellphones also, but fuck that I like the meme

[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And supercomputers. And most embedded devices powerful enough to run a full OS.

Don't forget steam deck and most gaming consoles

[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most game consoles don't run Linux

Though I love Linux with all my heart, i don't even recommend it to family. Mostly out of fear of having to provide tech support .

[–] skomposzczet@vlemmy.net 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you not already tech support for your family?

[–] Xeelee@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. I only know Linux. At least that's what I tell them.

[–] LSlowmotion@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta do that from now. Thanks for the advice.

I do because I already am tech support and Linux is easier than windows. Now my close family uses Linux and very rarely needs any help

[–] atmur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same here. I’m going to be tech support anyway, so they might as well be using an operating system that doesn’t break every 5 minutes like Windows. Aside from the occasional printer weirdness, I really haven’t had to do much. Linux just works.

Isn't the OS that North Korea uses technically a version of linux?

[–] PervServer@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

Red Star OS is Linux. v3 was based on Fedora and uses KDE.

The first interplanetary kernel!

[–] unreliable@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

I don't know if windows is running out of our planet. But I know some Linux are in some satellite thing. So Windows is an earther problem

[–] Yeah2206@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

I pledge allegiance...

Is this real?
