    I’ve never told anyone IRL that I use Linux.

    Nor have I actually spoken to anyone for more than a few words since I started using Linux.

    this is the same corporate fueled viral joke as “vegans always telling everyone about being vegan”.
    maybe if windows wasn’t a vibe coded, microslop, death-by-1,000-papercuts, spycrosoft, torment nexus, then nobody would feel the need to tell people about linux?

      People walk around smashing themselves in the dick with a hammer, complain about the dick-smashing hammer, and lament the future dick-smashing hammer update, and the moment someone says, “Hey, have you tried these non-dick-smashing, hammer-free pants?” And they say, “Hahaha, do you also do CrossFit?”

      This joke is stolen valor, I only just swapped to Linux like two days ago and I haven’t had the opportunity to blurt it out to people yet.

      this line of reasoning seems right to me. Well, if Windows didn’t have all these problems, there wouldn’t be as much need to migrate to another operating system

      Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they’ve already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?

      People are boasting about Arch, but my first open-source OS was FreeBSD 4.2, fitting on a single CD-ROM.
      It included a tiny base system and C compiler, and practically every other package had to be compiled from source, using the ports system, which was just a collection of makefiles, one for each package.
      And you had to be careful to use gmake instead of make, because the default Make was BSD-specific tool incompatible with most of open-source software, which targeted Linux. And you had to make sure to use GNU versions of grep, sed, and awk, and remove all bashisms from shell scripts, because /bin/sh was of course incompatible with bash.
      You had only about 50% chance that a given package would compile. Package manager? What package manager? Just run suand then make install.
      And my PC was AMD K6, and it had Turbo button, which did absolutely nothing. And I was very proud of my TEAC CD drive.

    I tell everyone at my part time job that we need Linux on their systems. I know nothing about Linux servers. Lemmy has convinced me most institutions would benefit from the switch.

    Feels like one of those jokes that explicitly shouldn’t go into programmerhumor. A programmer that doesn’t interact with Linux, that’s something to tell the world about…
