I think you mean this old one:
I started using Linux last week. And now I’m looking at your memes!
I’m just starting too! What an exciting time to be making the jump.
I see you’re on the right path… If you need any help feel free to reach out to the community and we got your back.
Welcome to the club!
Welcome!
Please reach out if you have trouble. Make a buddy if you don’t have one!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! It’s gonna be so much fun! We can do each others hair and talk about our favourite distros!
If I could I would upvote this twice 😄
You can, but you have to de-upvote it once.
Got it for you.
Internally: “YESYESYESYESYESYESYES”
Externally: “Cool, let me know if you need any help”
“my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”
me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
I say better for them to make the jump now to Ubuntu and figure out a distro better suited for their needs later on than to remain on Windows while having choice paralysis about what distro to chose.
Same.
I still think it’s a decent entry choice. I won’t touch it myself anymore, personally, but Canonical is still better than Microslop. That bar is set so low that even snap can clear it.
Yeah, a guy recently said that they’d jump into Mint and I could’ve said that I started on that, too (a fucking decade ago, apparently), but I was considering to tell them they could start with $BETTER_DISTRO right away for so long, that I didn’t end up saying much at all. 🫠
happy cake day
would you like to yap at me about linux (any distro, curious about ubuntu now tho)
Ah. Still fairly new, I assume cake day is to be left behind or am I misinterpreting this? Asking cuz im tired
I think most people here would be take it at face value and warmly respond. For me, it’s definitely a trigger as it was when I started to wise up to the commercialization of Reddit, my own personal canary so to speak. I know your intent was good, but still - goddammit.
Oh alright
thats kinda cool it can be used like a canary tho
:D
I’ve been using Ubuntu for years with no desire to switch or learn more. I’ve heard the comments about canonical and snaps, which I barely comprehend. But there’s a chance one day I’ll grow an interest in what you’re talking about, and I know you’ll be there to explain it.
Ignore the haters (me), everyone starts their journey somewhere
I’m in the same boat. I started with Ubuntu partly because I wanted to start learning ROS (robot operating system) and the documentation for that at the time mentioned Ubuntu. I’ve heard great things about Mint, which I’ll probably try soon, and when I “upgrade” my gaming desktop to Win 11 I’m partly expecting it to try and fuck with Grub and my Ubuntu partition so I’m going to probably install Bazzite once Win 11 is set up. Hopefully Bazzite is good enough for gaming that I rarely will have a need to use Windows. Sadly there is windows-only software I need. I tried Wine once and it didn’t work.
Try Winboat.
Then they use the worst set up you could imagine.
This laptop came with an onboard intel graphics card AND an NVIDIA graphics card!
Oh fuck
If only there were a distro as lazy as using an Android device.
Every time I mention this, someone comes along and mentions one or another distro, and then the caveats that keep it from being as lazy as using an Android device.What exactly do you mean? Like a distro that just works well on a phone? Yeah proper Linux phones aren’t quite there yet.
But any of the commonly recommended distros work out of the box on PC at this point, there’s less fiddling than with windows at this point in my experience
I think he means, Android runs Linux and doesn’t/can’t be tweaked for the most part. Because you don’t have root. So yes it’s opposite of what most Linux users seek, but it sure seems to be stable for years. So you can be lazy “admin’ing” it
I don’t know, I’m a total newbie and i found linux mint to be about as easy as ios. Like…really easy!
Linux is a pyramid scheme. Prove me wrong
Its just fun man. Before I tried linux seriously, I thought it was ridiculous. Why would you care so much about doing extra random bull shit? Except thats literally like 99% of the fun. You dont have to do any of it these days. Most stuff runs out of box pretty well. People just do it because its fun to experiment. You learn so much about computers its addicting. I even learned some powershell for windows and zsh for mac because now I understand how they work better after reading books about the linux kernel. I used to be weirdly judgemental about mac and linux users, now I just want people to have a computer that fits their needs.
Its not for everyone, but my wife got so jealous of watching me try Mint/Ubuntu/Debian that she joined linux over a year ago. Her homepage is now the Fedora newsletter. She is a normal person who was only mildly interested in computers before and now we talk about Debian/Fedora all the time. If you like computers, its worth giving it a shot. Just dont blame yourself if it isnt your cup of tea.
I don’t really care for Linux at all. I just hate Microsoft.
I hope you find some alternative you really enjoy using.
It’s getting better, no question. I’m hopeful it will continue to get better.
Im really excited for Europes expansion into open source. I think big things could be coming from it in a few years.
UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG
what the fuck? nobody is going to decode that, yknow? you do know that, right???..
This is what they’re referring to: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG/
UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG is an abbreviation for “Upvoted Not Because Girl, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Girl”.
Why is it that long? T-T
This is part of why I left reddit aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ugh. Go back to reddit.
i had to hold in my excitement when someone asked me what linux distro they should use as a beginner
Arch my beloved!
Oh, and remember to
sudo rm -rf //j, don’t do that, it’ll delete your whole system (for any newbies)
This looks like an ex of mine. It’s creeping me out.
Congrats on dating Elizabeth Olsen!
That picture is so unsettling and idk why
Because her face is lit from the top by a point light source
Mouth to face ratio, and eye to face ratio. It hits a kind of uncanny valley
That’s an analog horror face without the filter
Because it is a perfect 50% cute and 50% scary af
No girl that looks like this is using Linux
