Hasta la vista, BenbyMe, the only non-coder throughout the entire Fediverse, hanging with my Mastodon chums
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@TheBreadmonkey I feel this too!

Johann Uhrmann@PalmAndNeedle @eleanorrees @TheBreadmonkey it is totally possible.
... unless you are a native speaker. I learned the word "git" as tool for version control. Luckily, it took me years to discover that it is a word in the English language as well.
Lance, Enjoying Copious Pollen@TheBreadmonkey You're not the only one who's not a coder here.
I know - it was just a little joke because there are overwhelmingly more coders here than on any other platform and I know vanishingly little about it so it always makes me chuckle whenever I click on ANYONEs profile and it says "Linux... I work with computers"....
@TheBreadmonkey I may be one of the few Linux enthusiasts you'll find on here who just likes using it as an end user. :)
I can run some simple commands in the shell, but that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Linux? I just use it.
Command line? It's just somewhere I copy and paste to if I have to.

I don't even know what Linux is? I assume it's a Windows operating system on a Macintosh desktop PC?
@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE It is an operating system, but it's distinct from Windows or Mac, and will run on a wide variety of hardware. It also runs much of the internet, and is the OS on which both Chromebooks and Android are built.
@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Well, technically Linux is just a kernel but for practical reasons it's usually called an operating system. Thought I'd better say that before somebody gets all pedantic about it.
Sorry Lance. I should explain that my default is messing around and being daft. So if I say something incongruous, assume I'm attempting to be funny. However.... I actually did NOT KNOW THAT! and think it's really interesting! Does that mean all Android devices? Am I a Linux user without even realising?
@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Sorta. Google has modified it. Just don't ask me how and where because that's where my knowledge ends. :)
Andrew 🏳️🌈 🖥 🧦@analogfusion @TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Android at least replaces the usual Linux user interfaces with its own, but I don't know myself how much is torn out of a typical Linux distribution and replaced.
LittleScrapsoftheNorth@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE @analogfusion best joke EVER! Shows you know enough to know those all don’t go together… I am not a coder either .. but know enough that this is frickn hillarious

BenderIsGreat34@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE @analogfusion It's coming. I see a holy war spreading across the fediverse like unquenchable fire. A warrior religion that waves the Linux banner in Ben’s name.

Y'all are my people.
I've been using Linux for a long time, but I still forget what "LS" does in console. I couldn't code "Hello World" even with a gun to my head. I've had other users who didn't believe me when I said I've never broken my system because I was tinkering under the hood so much.
But I love *using* Linux. It's my comfort zone.
@Nezchan @MikeFromLFE @TheBreadmonkey Most of the time, there's no need to use a shell. I like to mess around there a bit, but I'm mainly in the GUI, myself. 🙂
@MikeFromLFE @analogfusion @TheBreadmonkey
Same here, did my research, found most user friendly one & never looked back.
Also just use & abuse the trusty Linux & copy paste in Terminal if I can find no alternative simple fix.

IrishMASMS@analogfusion @TheBreadmonkey also an end user here 👋👋
cultdev@analogfusion @TheBreadmonkey yes he is. yes he is
Kova@TheBreadmonkey I was like you, now I'm taking a coding course. 1/4th the way through #javascript !

@TheBreadmonkey @hollie it's okay, I'm sure you nerd on something absolutely incomprehensible to us, too! ;)

@MercG @TheBreadmonkey Do you remember if it used any Javascript or if it was all HTML?
All HTML.
tiny_m@MercG @TheBreadmonkey my brother was looking for someone for a friend to write an HTML2.0 page for an Amiga the other day. Do you take on hobby projects? Would you be interested?
Richard@TheBreadmonkey I hear you!
I'm definitely in the same boat, I just smile and nod.
I even once was offered a coding job based solely on being friends and nodded at the right times
I'm a non-techie who runs Linux. I feel you.

@Nezchan @TheBreadmonkey same except I ended up running Arch of all things cause I'm too impatient for an OS with a slower release cycle 💀
