People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).
Well, I’d like to think I’m just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian ‘cause I got sick of Windows’ shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn’t even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I’m saying. We had control.
Ah man, you toughed it out clear into XP? Win2k was the last version I ever ran here. That whole shit of “oh you inserted a USB drive, please reboot” really got on my nerves. Plus trying to write code and having Windows crash once a week.
Don’t forget Win3.x. I remember working on that, trying my hand at OS/2 Warp with high hopes. I never used NT, just the home version of Windows 2k, however I was already trying to move away from Microsoft at the time. I was introduced to AT&T Unix in the late 90’s with our Audix voicemail system, and learned a lot while attempting to upgrade the hardware to a more current 486 computer. I got hooked but Unix was expensive as hell, then the internet led me to Linux. My first attempts were with a version of Slackware that ran from a folder on the Windows desktop and by '99 I had my first dedicated server up and running. It wasn’t until 2006 that I finally dumped my dual-boot desktop and permanently dropped Windows.
I haven’t either. 😆 Switching to Linux solved all of those problems allowing me to run for months at a time between reboots. Of course back then things didn’t work so smoothly, and I did have some struggle getting my sound card working. These days it pretty much all just works.

Just say you run Arch and move on.
I run Arch and move on.
Lies, you never move!
Mobility scooter. Duh.
btw.
I ran Arch and moved on
I fought the law and the law won.
Now THAT’S a story I can FEEL. Thank you.
Well, it’s not like you lost a pen, now, is it?
Edit: for anyone who is lost here, enjoy
Is it a Pilot G-2? 0.7mm?
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that’s why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.

Several times per day sometimes if you came from the Win9x line like us normies had to use and not NT.

I haven’t seen a Windows BSOD in a long time on any of my systems…

I wish I could find something to help me convert my dell laptop into a Debian device. It would be all sorts of fun.
Ive had luck with puppy on older laptops. I have one running on a 2008 machine. Works ok.

Yes, that is how you install the OS. I meant little strangenesses found in dell hardware that I might encounter
I just like my build working. What’s wrong with that?
So it took a little while before I could run stable diffusion, I can now!
You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)

I thought he was saying he’s sexually attracted to punguins…
Still waiting for a distro named “Arch btw”
I run Arch and since then moved on.

Cachy me outside. I’ll run arch over you.
I like Linux, but it can have security issues just as well.
Sure can. Just more eyeballs on it and 3rd party eyeballs.
Not every exploit is discovered minutes to hours after a git push. Some go unnoticed for years.
If Linux is so great, then explain why I can’t even install this latest security patch for Windows on my Tumbleweed??
You need to sudo zypper install win_patch
Great, it worked!
But now I have ads on my desktop, tiler, and all the menues feature ‘sponsored’ content instead of my shit.
That’s a feature!

An anti-feature, thanks proprietary software!
