My Linux journey:
Mandrake — "it works!"
Slackware — "what have I done"
Debian — "ok, I got this"
Ubuntu — 20 years, since 6.06 Dapper Drake
🖤 Arch Linux — no idea what I'm doing, but make it fashion

BTW, I use Arch. 🐧

for those of you who may be on the hunt for a new browser...trivalent is an excellent choice. i had to build it for my distro, but it does show up as a bin file in many repos. #btwiusearch its a stock browser for the secureBLUE OS which is locked down fedora. its open source chromium-based and not anti-lgbtq (like Brave) and its got vanadium based hardening patches from the GrapheneOS browser. i've found its anti-add inherently. there are NO AI components included, cookies are off as default as are browser extensions. i turned mine on and use privacy-badger and bitwarden (works great). it will not allow syncing across browsers (that I am aware of) so that might be a negative, but here is a link to the repo:

@cliffwade that's something interesting, 79% of the mastodon users are using Linux...

Je dois avoir faim, parce que j'ai tapé `pacmange` au lieu de `pacman`. :)

#btwIUseArch

Why I Switched To Closed Source Software. I was a life long supporter of the open source movement. Then the arch Linux users group held meet ups at my coffee shop. #opensource #Linux #btwiusearch #pitchbot
I will never switch distros again (lying)

To me it's the perfect system, but I have to wait until I feel like #nixpkgs has matured.

You can still make a lean, properly configured system run like a dream - rock solid and super stable. I love how you can just mess around with system functions, schedulers, and so much more in an easy and convenient way.

No lie, #nixos will become the next #btwiusearch, because once flakes is the defacto standard and #nixpkgs has gotten to a certain point, top 5. Right up there with #Fedora and #Ubuntu.

wow, this needs to be taken under control (turbodebian?) otherwise we might end up with all installations being arch :-)

imagine a virus with such a payload? most *buntu users won't even pause to doublecheck when a window pops up asking for sudo password o_O and bam! next bootup there's the dreaded «btw YOU use arch» welcome screen.

i love that the whole meme of 'btw, i use arch' is equivalent to both saying 'i only wear magnum condoms' but also '...and i'm a priest'
