I just don't know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don't know anything about Linux, I know I'm not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It's like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it's suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don't speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don't know!

I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can't stop.

The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.

Choo Choo!

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (12 children)

I've thought about it and then I remember that I'm pretty dumb about stuff that doesn't interest me much, so it would have to be a situation where someone else was like, "here's your linux computer, I already set up all your stuff and your games all work."

I use Linux since 2008 and I don't get most of the Linix Memes as well. :) I also know German as a native language and don't get most of the ich_iel stuff. You are not alone.

I had a conversation with a friend last night and he was talking about something Linux related and I accidentally contributed to the conversation. I immediately thought "god dammit Lemmy".

Also, let's not forget...

Best Linux Distro: Arch

Worst Linux Distro: Believe it or not, also Arch

The best one is always Hanna Montana Linux.

You WILL eat your vegetables. It's good for you. One day you will install it and you will be grateful.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 65 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don't like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don't want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don't want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.

In that case Mint would be perfect for you.

[–] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 68 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This response is perfect and I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it's 100% serious and I read too much into it.

There's comedic genius in: "I hate talking about Linux, it's just a tool" "In that case here's a distro recommendation for you"

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 36 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It was actually a bit of both, a joke and an actual recommendation.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

In fairness though, Mint would actually be perfect.

It's not a family it's a cult.

All three? Linux, FreeBSD, and TempleOS?

Are you not entertained?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 22 points 8 months ago

After much dedicated and persistent blocking of communities, I don't see much Linux on lemmy anymore. But I don't see much on lemmy anymore.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 17 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Would be more accurate if it said Linux memes: I don't think I've seen any facts AFAIK.

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 30 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Here's a fact: I use Arch.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 8 months ago

4% adoption, it's the year of Linux!

Boom, fact

Posting on an open-source platform and being surprised by the amount of people who talk about an open-source operating system is something.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It is definitely a thing. I would categorize it as such. I'd dare say it is one of the things of all time.

[–] STOMPYI@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

more evidence that we do live in a society...

I want to be her. Where can I find someone to spoon-feed me Linux?
