I’m currently on debian. I wrote this comment as a response to the Debian slander in the meme.

It’s Ubuntu based

I just want a Debian-based distro with KDE that’s not poisoned by Canonical’s nonsense

I’m just glad they added non destructive editing in the latest version. I’ve tried to rotate/resize something in gimp before and it was a chore to keep quality acceptable.

That would require more creativity than the people behind “polexit” have

“GUI makes easy tasks easier, CLI makes hard tasks possible”. I’m a Debian user and lately I haven’t been touching terminal at all, unless it’s an inherently terminal task like programing. My only complaint now is that when I did an grub update my config file got reverted to the defaults. All of a sudden I couldn’t boot to Windows from grub because os-prober got dissabled (I’m dualbooting). Fixing that is not hard, as you only have to uncomment one line in the config, but it’s annoying that it happend.

Most of the abstractions, frameworks, “bloats”, etc. are there to make development easier and therefore cheaper, but to run such software you need a more and more expensive hardware. In a way it is just pushing some of the development costs onto a consumer.

Alphabet doesn’t make math harder, it’s used for harder problems where alphabet makes them actually easier.

Wait, git is ONLY 10 years old?

You can take a pot of water from the kitchen and pour it into the toilet. Same principle. Also why is the toilet paper flat?

One of my annoyances about “switching to linux” discussion is that people seem to think of linux as a “free windows”. Everything has to work like in windows, everything has to be in the same position as in windows, etc. They can’t accept that linux is a different OS, with its own ways of doing things, but somehow macOS get a pass.

Satan just wants all the cool people for his ethernal sex orgy in hell.

To be fair, starfield could be simply addicting, and addicting doesn’t mean a player can’t find the game underwhelming. I spent a lot of time on cookie clicker and in retrospective it was boring, but I kept playing because the numbers were going up. What saved me was clearing my browser’s cookies (lol) and loosing my progress.

For a second I thought it was the pillow that said that…

To be fair, Windows’ support is also unhelpful in solving their problem.

With cups it’s pretty much painless on linux form me, though some distros have a very restrictive firewall configuration out of the box, so you have to whitelist it before using. Not too complicated, but can be very frustrating for new users who never touched a firewall before.
