Takes me back to my first Arch install in like 2008.

I used Arch btw

640 exabytes should be enough for anyone!

In a free market, aren’t you free to collude with your competitors in order to fix prices?

Ah, I misread. I thought they were saying acetone = acetic acid but actually they were just saying there was something worse

I believe you’re mixing up acetone with acetic acid

Oh is THAT why every American knows how big 9mm is

Well, yeah. Anything less than 0 is freezing and anything greater than 0 isn’t.

Ezpz

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

+1. I used to think it was just something that happened to old people, until it happened to me

“will the company go out of business if this isn’t fixed in the next hour?”

Litmus test for urgency

Purebred and inbred are synonyms

Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

“politics”

Next in line are still elderly but they’ve been spending their whole life building up to this so they aren’t going to put some young whippersnapper in charge and undo the years of bribery, corruption and arse-kissing that got them to where they are

even Valve told Ubuntu users to use the Flatpak for Steam instead of the Snap

Hahaha really? That’s awesome. I wonder if Canonical will ever take the hint that nobody wants Snap when better, more open alternatives exist

Yeah, package manager is a big one. Many of us got burned by rpm’s early on and just avoided all rpm-based distros since then.

Of course as you say that hasn’t been a problem for over 10 years but the scars haven’t gone away.

I’d only recommend Ubuntu to someone if I knew they knew some else using Ubuntu (so I could tell them to hassle that person instead of me when they have problems).

Otherwise, I’d absolutely recommend Fedora, because it’s actually up to date unlike Debian. I use it myself because it tends to have the best of what the open source community has to offer while not needing constant tweaking
