If you want a stable system that just works, that doesn't require tinkering and closely monitoring updates, and those are your only two choices? Yeah, Ubuntu is a much better choice than Arch.
Stock Arch, yeah, sure...ish. I have an Arch install that's been running fine with no fuckery for 3 years, and there's Arch derivatives that are really stable.
Makes me remember that old meme about being able to play mario bros inside another mario game inside another, inside another emulator inside linux inside the matrix
Really old people seem to be the heaviest AI users, or at least they are in my bubble. So maybe pa is getting it on with an AI granny in that retirement home.
I had an experience something like that once. The guy snorted at me and said: "I thought you knew about computers". I just stood up and said: "You know, you're absolutely right. Good luck fixing the issue." and I left.
I prefer classifaction in descending order.. Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes
How awesome is Windows? I mean the way it runs so smooth…you can like process a lot of processing with the processor. Like if they added AI to the ESC key, that would really be awesome.
It used to be a meme that you need to recompile your kernel any time something goes wrong on linux, or to do anything.
Its just a fucking outlandish nonsense critisism. The joke is that it sounds like the way some people have criticized linux without realizing they don't know that they're talking about, and it's exacerbating how silly it is to being cartoonishly absurd
They have had their Store for over 10 years now. I envy you if you haven't had to deal with Windows for so long. It's not even user-friendly anymore, it just hates it's users and constantly tries to scam you with ads and pop-ups
Given the reference, it would have been a decent burn if you'd said Mint or Ubuntu.
I'm an LMDE user which is a sliver more advanced, but not by much. The song might even fit better. I can point at and name parts of the system and maybe even work with them, but most of the time someone else is looking after me.

Amazingly, the answer to #5 is yes!
what's the original?
Maybe this one:
WSL?
No/F/Cali
Yes/F/Cali
Heyy what r u upto? Pm?
I'm good yea, but nah not a Pm yet just a high ranking MP. You?
I'm King Charles.
I'm Spartacus
I am Spartacus!
So just like #2 then
ducks and runs away
Depends on use case. If Ubuntu is what you yourself like best? Then yeah totally.
If you want a stable system that just works, that doesn't require tinkering and closely monitoring updates, and those are your only two choices? Yeah, Ubuntu is a much better choice than Arch.
Stock Arch, yeah, sure...ish. I have an Arch install that's been running fine with no fuckery for 3 years, and there's Arch derivatives that are really stable.
I have tried it and its not bad either.
I installed WSL, to install Ubuntu, to install Hackintosh, so I could VNC my self into it on my work laptop for testing apps on it.
So yeah, not bad.
Hold up. You’ve virtualised Mac OS via WSL? That’s pretty bad ass
Wouldn't call it bad ass. It was just a bit weird installing a bad OS on a nice OS on an evil OS.
Also, there are good instructions online to achieve this.

Is Proton a Debian-based distro?
Why use Wine? All it does is emulate Windows.
WSL invalidates Linux's existence.
Linus is the Colonel of Linux.
Love it
How to piss off a Linux guy in 3 steps:
Step 1: Use Windows
Step 2: Encounter a computer problem and ask the Linux guy for a solution.
Step 3: When they say they don't know Windows, mock them for being so stupid despite staying in the terminal playing pretend hackerman all day.
Go back to the retirement home grandpa. Computers are grok prompts now with subscription tokens. Pass me the verification can gramps. Heil musk!

A good one is saying windows is the best Linux distro because you can just run exes straight from the shell
Try it and confirm there is no god
I legitimately don't know how to administer a Windows system anymore.
Just tell them to ask Copilot to fix it
I had an experience something like that once. The guy snorted at me and said: "I thought you knew about computers". I just stood up and said: "You know, you're absolutely right. Good luck fixing the issue." and I left.
wine program.exe2. I would treat this as a hypothesis and answer: "Debian"
wow this post works!
About 3.:
Thats how to break your wine prefix. Always use either a prefix manager like bottles or at least set your WINEPREFIX= variables
"I'm also into linux, so I got a chromebook"
I did get a chromebook ... and then I put Linux on it.
(Not bad for a $0.50 purchase.)
I mean, ChromeOS is immutable Gentoo, so yeah.
My dating tip?
YY/MM/DD
No love for YYYY-MM-DD?
If you see a date in that format, it's pretty unambiguous.
Also great for naming files in the filesystem, and thereby giving it both context and a sorting space.
I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.
You're right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.
/are also not valid for ISO-8601iso 8601 or get out
See, my dating tip is the exact opposite.
DD/MM/YY
The worst date format. Even worse than Americans mm dd yy
Might I suggest Y/MM/DD/YYY ?
Thanks, but Y/M/DD/M/YYY already does it just fine for me
YTMND
salty murican detector going offf
Days are shorter than months, which are shorter than years.
Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.
It might make sense but that doesn't make it better
Ah, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets.
Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
I prefer large to small imo, plus computers prefer yy mm dd too
But this would lead to files from the first of any month and any year to be bunched together.
I prefer classifaction in descending order.. Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes
Ugh you don't need to write 30 million lines of code to install a browser. You need to compile 30 million lines of code to install a browser. 🙄
You get to compile 30 million lines of code to install a browser. :)
Only if you run Gentoo or a fully vegan install from source setup
#5 is actually true. Install Ubuntu for WSL from the Windows store. WSL is great BTW
That's what makes it so triggering
1- No, Windows 11 mains you
2- Yes, ubuntu is much larger than arch
3- We have many ways to install anything
4- No, but neither does Windows, who at Microsoft is troubleshooting your games?
5- Yes! But Windows works much better on linux than linux does on Windows
6- Imagine 30 million lines to fix your last update
4- hey windows actually has a useless troubleshooting wizard, and when cortana gets good enough they might just revive clippy
I miss Clippy. Sure he was obnoxious, but you could tell him to fuck off and he would listen.
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ncc7jnqp53t?hl=en-US&gl=US
4- kind of yes, if you count wsl
For three, say "command prompt" instead.
In fairness, several major distros are available on the Microsoft store.
You forgot: "Why do you have to recompile the kernel all the time?"
Recompiling the kernel is a privilege, not an obligation!
How awesome is Windows? I mean the way it runs so smooth…you can like process a lot of processing with the processor. Like if they added AI to the ESC key, that would really be awesome.
7 I tried Linux. It didn't work.
Fuck you. Take my upvote.
Linux doesn’t run Fortnite and that’s all you need to know about that shovelware.
Just to be clear. You're calling Linux shovelware, right? /s lmfao
#6 fuckin sent me lol
I don’t get that one, could you explain?
It used to be a meme that you need to recompile your kernel any time something goes wrong on linux, or to do anything.
Its just a fucking outlandish nonsense critisism. The joke is that it sounds like the way some people have criticized linux without realizing they don't know that they're talking about, and it's exacerbating how silly it is to being cartoonishly absurd
Thanks for explaining!
Happy I could help! ❤️
Have a lovely day!
half of them i would problem not even understand. macroslop has a shop now? I'm so happily out of the loop :)
They have had their Store for over 10 years now. I envy you if you haven't had to deal with Windows for so long. It's not even user-friendly anymore, it just hates it's users and constantly tries to scam you with ads and pop-ups
Tbf if you’ve only used windows at home and not for work, it was pretty easy to just not know about the Microsoft store at all until pretty recently.
I used windows all the way up to last year and only found out about the windows store after swapping to Linux
Say there's no need for Linux when you have WSL (but pronounce it W.S.L.)
Wait, is that a faux pas? Weasel?
Yo, that last one though.....
fuck just kill me while you're at it...
You can always tell a Linux user by the body order. Oh and they're all hackers and on a government watchlist.
Edit: odor, not order
My body order is head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes). I have no idea how that flags me as a Linux user.
That's just what an Arch user would say.
Given the reference, it would have been a decent burn if you'd said Mint or Ubuntu.
I'm an LMDE user which is a sliver more advanced, but not by much. The song might even fit better. I can point at and name parts of the system and maybe even work with them, but most of the time someone else is looking after me.
Excuse you. I’m on a government watch list for entirely different reasons. I am not a hacker.
Everybody knows all Linux users are hackers.
Damn, you're a furry, huh?
I do like foxy women
I installed Nobara just yesterday and the installer had a game to play
I did some distro hopping, that was impressive to me.
./example.exe
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pdxgncfsczv?hl=en-GB&gl=US
if the kernel isn't set to forward .exe to wine,
wine example.exealso works.I thought it was under Window's terminal since that's what the person uses.
You jest about number 5, but there were people asking if it's on the vscode extensions before.
Isn't Ubuntu available on the Microsoft store? I could have sworn it was
That was WSL ubuntu.
(I guess technically counts?)
Someone just give this guy a big thumbs up and go back to ignoring him
Arch is Ubuntu thanks to SystemD
