To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.

    I use glorious Nixos.

    This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

    My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

    He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

    I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

      I’m as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue

          What do you mean set it up from the installer?

          It’s there, by default. You don’t have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it’s a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.

          I’ve never met anyone who’s changed the defaults, other than me, and I’ve been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)

            Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I’ll look it up, thanks!

              Windows suspend is now hibernate, or something, or Poweroff with fastboot is hibernate. I forget. There was a time when their terms meant the thing it did, but they actually switched things around. If you need a full power off for hardware reasons its a restart, because power off doesn’t do a true power off any more. Something to that effect

    Isn’t this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don’t go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

      Not these days, at least.

      I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.

      Most people don’t brag about their OS at all. For the vast majority, if it can accomplish the tasks it needs to accomplish, that is that.

    For Arch users it’s only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it’s 3 1/2 minutes.

    Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.
