Imagine defending Drake, disgusting.

Obligatory: Fuck Drake.

There are dozens of meme templates like this that you could have used instead

I use Ubuntu professionally and Arch at home

Anything that’s not Windows is my preference.

I love arch because I know what’s in it and how to fix it and what to expect, the community is mostly very nice and open to help

AUR is great and using pacman feels lovely

I also care about learning and understanding the system I’m using beyond just using a GUI that does everything for me

Ubuntu is not bad it’s probably one of the most used distros by far

Linux motto is: Use what you like and customize it how you like because there is no company forcing you to do things their way

Me pretty much only ever using arch Linux: “what the fuck is a flatpak”

I once had to install Firefox into wsl (Ubuntu) and I wanted the kms on the spot.

But maybe it’s not that bad for newer people to get started with Linux.

I use arch btw, have been for 5 or so years, I open the gates to those who want to use arch install

You are not any lesser for not wanting to install arch manually

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

my friends started saying “Linux moment” whenever I have an issue with anything so naturally insay “windows moment” every single time their game crashes or they “need to reinstall graphics drivers”

oh no! it’s [insert excuse] not windows!
