_cnt0If linux distributions were tools.
BarttierFirst I wanted to contradict and say that I like arch linux because it feels good… So yes: I see your point
mack7400It’s so plug & play
Universal Plug and Play: it works on all genders!
No_EponymPretty much everyone has a butthole, it’s the ultimate input/output port.
Universal Serial Bussy.
Miku Luna \ she/itI use arch btw
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
miss_brainfartThat would explain the joy I’m feeling when using my PC
Mint would be a colourful toy piano. Just the way I like it.
That guy is so rad.
ubuntu - kali
fedora - arch
fedora - arch
EngywookArch is so pleasant to to use…
But it's a little cold at first when you start using it.
And one wrong move is a twinge of pressure
using no install helper ≈ no lube, no prewarming
tetraodonThat’s the way I like it
Is Red Hat that Dunder Mifflin commercial where the person is wandering around a big box store but can’t find anyone for service?
FuglyDuckI feel like Ubuntu should be one of those squeaky hammer toys. Maybe I’m just biased,
I think you’re right. But, I’m trying to make my memes inclusive: I don’t bash ubuntu users for the same reasons I don’t beat people already on the ground and refrain from mocking the handicapped.
But what makes ubuntu better as a first distro than mint or fedora? It installs snaps even when you specifically invoke apt, a new user who doesn’t understand the messages will press yes, see that it seemed to work and have issues later that can scare them away from linux.
What I’m trying to say is that we should bash the people still recommending ubuntu.
Oh, I’m absolutely fine with bashing people recommending Ubuntu. Hand me the first stone!
K0W4L5K1Well you bash us arch users but i get it we can take it! Lmao. Or maybe ubuntu users just camt take a joke
KneeTittsI cam take a jork
credit crazyYou shure as hell can take it in the ass that’s for sure
Yeah arch does get you laid
He shure doesh
Eh. Using Ubuntu is nothing like having a mental or physical handicap, or having fallen and gotten knocked down/pushed down.
My issue with Ubuntu is that there’s better distros- even for newbs coming from windows for the first time. The sole argument for Ubuntu is the first reason not to use it. People are installing it because they want something different than windows, after all, and canonical makes the same critical error (IMO) that MS makes: it assumes their users are stupid.
To be honest, I grew up in red hat; I remember trying Ubuntu when it first came out, being told how awesome it was. I found it to be infuriating and horrible. And it has always been so. To me, it’s popularity seems derived more from marketing than from merit.
No, Debian should definitely be the Swiss army knife, and Ubuntu should definitely be the playdoh Swiss army knife.
Which one is that on the pick set? I don’t recognize the logo…
Kali, I actually think that’s the old Backtrack logo
Kali Linux. A pen testing distro.
Possibly linuxEverything about this is wrong
I take objection to this statement. I pride myself with displaying nothing but objective truth in the memes I create.
Then explain your rational
Shall I also explain how to walk, breathe, and drink?
Machinist
FlakyYeah, I’d shove Pacman up my ass… wait you were talking about the package manager?
kryllicFound you, Rich Evans
SavvyWolfIn the spirit of bashing Ubuntu, I’d like to propose we stick with the swiss army knife. But it’s one of those strange Kickstarter projects where it’s entirely controlled by an unnecessary phone app.
Arch being something that requires some research and prep beforehand makes sense through. As well as having fans who will swear that is actually quite enjoyable if you try it.
Feels like everything new is controlled by a pointless app. It's not just Kickstarter.
No bashing Ubuntu!
Jokes on you I’m into thst shit
Maybe it’s time for you to move on to gentoo:
Please imagine a skull emoji
FeminalPandaWith all the Ubuntu bashing. It’s the only Linux image I have used for my server. Also used Kali and a bunch of others on an old laptop.
Is Ubuntu server bad or does it just hold your hand too much. I have everything running in docker and manage that from a web gui.
Not sure if you are serious or your comment is a meta meme …
Anyone who bashes distros hasn't really understood Linux. The fact that you can choose gives us the ability to choose the right tool for the job. Ubuntu has pushed a few weird things into the Linux world, but the distro itself is still legit.
Captain JanewayWhat’s wrong with Ubuntu in general?
nothing really, mint is preferable if you need to use a ubuntu based dist
I’m personally not a fan of their approach to Snaps and hard pushing their snap store.
Apt works just fine and if we want sandboxed apps, we could choose to install flatpaks.
Last time I used Ubuntu Server I was annoyed by those ads for some weird canonical subscriptions. Now I use Fedora ofc.
True, not as bad as Microsoft but did remind me of them.
nullIt’s not that it’s bad on a server, it’s just that something like Debian with a couple tools on top gets you to the same place with less resources.
For a home server, that reduction in overhead can mean squeezing out a few more services on a single box.
Gotcha, I’ll look into Debian. I chose Ubuntu as we use DoD STIGs at work and they have an automated tool and spec for Ubuntu.
Counterpoint, Ubuntu is popular because it usually has what you need. For home stuff especially the limiting factor is usually time, not processing power.
I’d challenge that asking what do you really need above base Debian?
I’ve got a script to set up my debian servers and it doesn’t include much beyond adding docker, assigning users to groups, and adding a couple tools (just looked them up: sudo ca-certificates curl gnupg ufw).
I saw a significant decrease in idle CPU and RAM load by switching from Ubuntu-server to Debian Bookworm + those tools.
BjörnNow there’s an idea. Butt plugs with custom logos. I’m gonna be rich!
I’ll take 10%.
