      This will continue until you’re part of the intended audience.

      Okay, it won’t stop even then.

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

    Nah, that way, I can be the Alpha-Nerd in my circle, getting all the clout when I help them out with a command-line-command that contains awk.

    Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

      Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

        Isn’t it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

        You’re affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I’m not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you’re a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

        How you feel about it is upto you.

        Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

          This is not a joke. If you don’t wake up at 4 am to start harassing windows users, you will never become a GNU/Linux Trillionaire.

          I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It’s probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don’t envy, but pity you.

            I clearly didn’t put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.

            And no its not THE problem, I’m able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.

          They’re owned by a for-profit company, they collect data on you by default, they’ve already had privacy issues in the past, and they include non-free software by default. I would rather have a beginner start off with Debian or Trisquel. We shouldn’t be trapping people into these distros because then they’ll potentially get too comfortable and not make the switch. This is coming from someone who did start off on Ubuntu. Sure, it’s more convenient, but we should be teaching people to value freedom over convenience. Even if the data collection is minimal, it’s still data.

    honestly open source software is important.

    I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don’t think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

    Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

    Why does nobody just use a basic Gentoo setup? Compiling custom kernels and using tons of use flags And cflags isn’t actually going to make your PC faster. Just install the distribution kernel and use march=native.

    Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I’m more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.
