I was still a Linux n00b back in even 2012.
Oh so was I. During the early opensuse I was a teen playing with new toys after reading about Linux in a pc mag. I’ve only started seriously using Linux around 2010-2013.

Oh I know, just making fun of the shill.
They invented a solution to sell user data to Amazon, does that count?
They also have a bunch of knock-off products like canonical aws, canonical terraform-ansible, canonical k8s, etc.
This isn’t a decade ago, when Ubuntu was … leagues more generally user friendly than most other distros.
It was crap a decade ago that’s why everyone was already installing mint, and only slightly less crap almost 2 decades ago. I installed Linux for the first time around 2006, and Ubuntu was no different than one of the first versions of opensuse. The whole “Ubuntu is for beginners” hype was literally all due to them sending free install CDs.
one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros
Oh you mean the DE they abandoned almost 10 years ago?
Is selling user data to Amazon and harvesting data illegally from Azure VMs not enough for users to tell them to stick their terminal ads up their ass? I don’t think that’s unfair.
From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago
- sees an error message, doesn’t read it
- starts pasting random shit into the terminal
- breaks the system
- Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
- after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
- tries again, gives up again
- films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work
Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.
Having modular DEs is what:
made X11 a monolithic unmaintainable mess

I could never get it to work.
Yeah. “Feature parity or get out”, like dude we’re long past feature parity.
Ok, replace the xfce/KDE wm with something like i3 and then keybind all of the commands that aren’t wm specific through a global hotkey daemon like sxhkd.
Not who you asked, but:
-
sxkhd: no global hotkey daemons allowed except the compositor
-
i3wm inside of xfce/plasma: every compositor is implemenyed as a monolithic DE, fuck modularity
I still switched to Wayland, but can’t be bothered to customise a new wm

1·1 month agoI don’t know about how they compare in scale, but corpos were spending billions on business AI solutions, and there were specialised technologies that died when the bubble burst.
Have you seen any comparisons to the previous AI bubbles and winters?
2·2 months agoThanks, I didn’t know they work like that.
I was thinking more along the line of the return 1 example.
In the real world, when an exit code is a boolean
Do you have any examples of that scenario? I can’t think of any, and from the top of my head it doesn’t make any sense to mix exit codes with bool returns.
How is Linux less annoying than this?
On Linux I never had a BSOD into an unavoidable 40+ min update while I’m trying to finish something ASAP. I choose when to download updates, and when to install them.
It’s like food, peasants compile their packages, nobles have someone else do it for them
When you can’t call upon reason, invent ad hominems. Get some help buddy.
