There is nothing wrong with Devuan, though? It is a very solid distribution built by a team of people who constantly work on improving and supporting alternative init systems. Just because you seem to consider it a “rage fork” out of ideological reasons doesn’t mean it isn’t good.
Eh I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to know many distros such as Trisquel, Parabola/Hyperbola, EXE GNU/Linux and so on, leading to odd choices. It also has false information here and there, and the “do you want a Windows-like or a macOS-like UI” question is pretty asinine.
I will switch to Hurd as soon as it is in a usable state but so far my experiments unfortunately never really worked out.
“What does that mean?” “It means strong opinions scare him.”
I dunno, the more I am here, the more “typical Redditors” I see around.
That’s a very mature way to condescendingly dismiss someone.
ADHD doesn’t make one into a twat.
We’re at the Kingdom Hearts stage of lore now, it being spread out across spinoffs and all.
I have moved my entire family to GNU/Linux systems without an issue. They have complimented its ease of use many times, and the only problems we ever had was PulseAudio not working for a few hours after an update and a system service randomly stopping due to (my) configuration issues, both fixed.
Average computer users are actually way smarter than “nerds” think if they have an open mind and don’t just expect everything to be done 100% the same like in Windows.
The entire “nerds just don’t get how hard basic things on Linux are for average people” shtick is just “nerds thinking they’re smarter than everyone else so condescendingly think they need to dumb down their oh-so arcane system for the general population to understand”.
People can easily understand GNU systems properly set up for them. The only people who kick and scream at every point of a transition (Windows -> GNU, Reddit -> Lemmy and so on) are those who have some kind of agenda against moving out of spite or stubbornness and expect everything to be bad before trying it. And they tend to be the loudest.
We don’t need to make the free software world “easier” and “more painless”. It already is, and the only things people keep proposing would be making things worse.
Leave it to Redditors to compare themselves to victims of racism.
You think Biden is a leftist and have an elementary school understanding of the American party shifts? Surprising.
Girl: “Hey you look kind of like my grandma :)”
… How is this in any shape or form offensive? Let alone homophobic? Fucking cops, man.
You know what, that sounds super enjoyable. I’m going to do that.
It’s a front-end project written in C++; a desktop environment for Unix-like systems.
SourceForge went to shit when it was the de-facto location for free and open source software, now GitHub is where Sourceforge used to be. When will people learn?
Why not just use a GNU/Linux system?
It’s somewhat infuriating because the LARPers that run both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml really have nothing in common with the rich history of Marxism. They’re the same people who thought it was the peak of humor in 10th grade to put on a ushanka and blast “ear rape soviet anthem ten hours” in class. All of their opinions are based on “triggering the libs” or whatever country has a red flag and cool aesthetic. No Marxist literacy whatsoever.
Trisquel is literally the most popular libre-only distribution, endorsed by the FSF, it is hardly obscure. Parabola/Hyperbola are libre-only Arch derivatives, and EXE GNU/Linux is the only distribution shipping out of the box with TDE.
Trisquel is the only one out of those that is really friendly for newbies, admittedly, but given that it has Gentoo in there out of all things, it just seems like a very “Reddit” distribution list.
