    I actually like Linux, but I’m considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it’s so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

        I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

        Instead I found “Windows bad” circlejerking.

            Distros and package managers are bad. Reject modernity, embrace compiled source. Burn Lennart Pottering at the stake!

                    There’s many steps to remember when you have to first create your building environment before you can compile all the basic components for your own distro, and it’s always good when you manually lookup configure and compile your dependencies, I know it’s all excuses for not memorising the steps but there you go.

                I don’t think the bank will accept “I need to install Firefox” as the reason for a loan to pay my electricity bill.

                Joking aside though, Gentoo was a great experience for me to learn how Linux actually works.

                  I never got it running, but I definitely learned some things. I need to try it again someday when I have a lot of free time and a spare laptop.

        No, I’m on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, “Linux good, Binbows bad.”

        It’s kind of hard to tell since the Linux memes are in all the other communities as well.

            They’re not gonna get any if we keep making all communities about hating Microsoft Windows and capitalism.

        They could use some memes making fun of our community instead of making fun of the rest.

        Let’s be honest, Linux isn’t a viable option for a big portion of society. I love working in Linux but it’s not perfect for those that aren’t techsavy and need more than a browser.

          Linux Mint is absolutely usable by most of the population. What it isn’t good at is business sector stuff because that entire sector is captured by Microsoft and its proprietary ecosystem. If interoperability was the focus, it wouldn’t be an issue. But capturing the population is the goal, so companies get these anti-user designs that lock you into their ecosystems. Maybe you need centralized development to achieve stuff like Azure and all its capabilities.

      I mean just go ahead and block it, why make this rant at all, if you are seeing it on All its because of the amount of Linux users on Lemmy.

          And whats the point? Should all Linux memes communities close so that you don’t see them in All? Should people stop making Linux memes at all? What are you achieving with your rant? You don’t like it. We get it. You and that 75% can block the community and move on.

              Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.

                I don’t know your life story, I only know you got pretty riled up over nothing at all on the Internet, by a strangers comment. Usually a good sign you need to take a break and relax.

                    Are triggered and annoyed synonymous? I’m not angry or anything, so triggered doesn’t feel like the right word, but if it fits, sure I’m hella’ triggered bro.

          My guy, you got ratio’d by the guy pointing out you were on c/linuxmemes.

          Since you are the main character of Lemmy, which Stallman meme shall we post for the millionth time? Perhaps we shall post about how it’s stupid in 2023 to be using a macrokerenel architecture and that Linux is obsolete?

      Why we don’t have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.

      “So regarding these security vulnerabilities… We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support…” So basically you’re telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?
