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.

I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer.

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

This is so incredibly cringe that its downright unreadable. Take your own advise, use whatever you want and shut the fuck up.

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.

This article is an example of the "appeal to novelty" fallacy. "It's newer, therefore it MUST be better."

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 :/

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.

"I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words"

Let me guess... you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?

[–] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JaneTheMotherfucker@leminal.space -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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...

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 2 years ago

When I reached the essentially "I use arch btw" I assumed it was just badly written satire.

Naughties...
