#Gnu/Linux

[alpine-official]

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

At the nail salon yesterday and this tranny walks in with her gf and sits down, pulls out a laptop- it's a framework!

I say "is that a framework?"

She says yeah

"Linux?"

She says yeah again

"distro?"

"Debian" she replies

"I use arch by the way" I retort with a giggle

This bitch SIGHS and says "yeah the distro id use if I were younger"

ARE YOU SHITTING ME YOU WHORE??? DID YOU REALLY JUST CALL ME A KID????

Fuck Debian users, we got beef now.

@debian-official fight me

Honestly I don't know why people are so hellbent on staying with Windows when Linux has distributions like

AmogOS

Hannah Montana Linux

Ubuntu Satanic Edition (comes with free metal music)

UwUntu (Annoyingly a really good OS and one of the funniest too. The guys who make it recommend you anime movies every time you install a new version)

Operate your entire system as the root user. The world is ending anyways.

This also includes most home arcades.. from what I know they tend to run either on Armbian Linux or Android

[ubuntu-official]

GNUwU

[krystal-blossom]

They are two completely different types of computer users

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you a referencing to as "linux" is actually GNU/Linux, or as I have recently taken to calling it, DEEZ+NUTZ

[linux-real]

@systemdeez explain yourself

hot take on linux but imo telling people who want to use learn linux to just use the easiest distro imaginable isn't good advice. sure if they want to just use linux, then yeah the path of least resistance is the way to go. However when someone actually wants to learn, picking a more challenging distribution can force a new user to learn more about linux than they would by using an easy distro. obviously it isnt universal for everyone but i see people completely reject the idea of someone using a distro like arch or gentoo as their first distro because they are "hard". but these distros are really a great learning opportunity especially when following their respective wikis.
