From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To quote the author himself:
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn't use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.
Another fool who thinks I'm a guy
Uncharitability to those you disagree with, style without substance, and all built upon thought-terminating cliches.
This isn't helpful or enlightening or informative, it's entertaining but not in an interesting nor original way. It reminds me of 2010s Reddit memes where everything was about adding as many "fucks" as possible because our moms aren't supervising our internet time anymore. It espouses a consoomer mindset of "gotta have bigger numbers and shinier visuals because all that matters is appealing to lizard-brain."
And it's all couched in the obvious mindset that any criticism will be met with "ok boomer" (I'll almost be insulted if I don't get one) because being superior is more important than being right. Y'know... like a boomer?
You've got a point, focus on that: you can make the case that Linux fits your use case, or that certain mindsets within the Linux community are hindering progress. But please do so in a way that doesn't just lend itself to more infighting and drama. That shit is for shallow people who have nothing to contribute and only serve as the cultural detritus that destroys communities and community-driven projects.
I'd argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don't have enough money and joking about how you're spending your kid's inheritance is the boomer thing to do.
Seems like you just found an excuse for your unnecessary invectiveness. You probably think you're funny or you're trolling. This is not even trolling, not even fourth-class bait material. Maybe you should try Kali, suits your attitude more.
This article is an example of the "appeal to novelty" fallacy. "It's newer, therefore it MUST be better."
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
You should really take your own advice on this one. That "article" was juvenile.
Your dissapointment about your own existence bleeds into the article, just shut the fuck up at this point :/
This is so incredibly cringe that its downright unreadable. Take your own advise, use whatever you want and shut the fuck up.
"I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words"
Let me guess... you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?
This is the contempt I’m talking about.
The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.
Nah, I just treat them like equals :)
So basically, "they're trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I'm gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn't the latest bleeding edge stuff?"
Cuz that's what i get outta that whole, article...that and that you really, really like to swear.
Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It's the boomers who get triggered.
Totally useless "article". You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It's like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.
tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers...
When I reached the essentially "I use arch btw" I assumed it was just badly written satire.
Naughties...
