Why would someone recommend an OS that everyone already uses?

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 84 points 7 months ago

Why would someone recommend an OS that sucks

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

You don't know a bad OS until you've tried something like TempleOS

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 41 points 7 months ago

That’s sacrilege. Temple os is the best os

[-] atocci@kbin.social 16 points 7 months ago

The only real OS

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 10 points 7 months ago

🙏

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I wouldn’t call TempleOS bad, it’s just designed for a different use case. Most OSes are designed to function for productivity. TempleOS is designed to display schizophrenic delusions

Everyone obviously uses Linux, but does everyone use arch?

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not enough. Spread the word.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

I'm doing my part!

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

I can only use arch at so many places simultaneously

This meme is so old I can see the crust on it

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 26 points 7 months ago

The demotivational format is one I'm thankful to be rid of. They were good for like 5 days when they would actually parody the original posters. But then it was years of it being an absurdly awkward caption format

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

The actual posters were great! Its that exact kind of cynicism I find refreshing.

[-] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 59 points 7 months ago

I've used Linux since 1996 and don't recommend it to anyone. They might want help with something.

[-] cum_hoc@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

This is what I call wisdom right here 👆

i'd like to be used by arch

[-] Kuba@programming.dev 8 points 7 months ago

Arch uses me me btw

If you ever get these after a contacting customer care, here is how they work:

10/10: ok. No need to reprimand employee

9/10: acceptable every now and then

Anything less than 9/10: talk to employee about their low performance and lacking commitment

This applies to all questions asked, including “how is the weather?” and “did you sleep well tonight?”

So here is how I answer, knowing how it works:

Employee helped me or at least tried to (and was hindered by company bullshit): 10/10, no exception. Yes, I will sacrifice my firstborn on your corporate altar and will build a shrine to your CEO in my bedroom. Of course I will recommend [product] and to anyone and everyone I will ever meet and praise [company] with my dying breath.

Mediocre service: no reply

Truly awful service, employee was a dick: 2-4/10, so it does not look like petty revenge, but is still bad

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 13 points 7 months ago

Here's how I do it:

I don't reply. That's it.

[-] Tau@sopuli.xyz 8 points 7 months ago

Why even have a 1 to 10 scale then

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 23 points 7 months ago

You have more understanding of this situation than the brainless executives demanding that the survey be included.

If you think Linux users I'm general are like this, wait until you encounter Arch Linux users.

[-] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

In our defense, Arch is the best OS out there by far, if you aren't too dumb to install it.
(I use Arch, by the way.)

[-] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I can install Arch blindfolded without archinstall, but I don't think it is the superior option.

It is either unstable or maintenance-heavy, depending on how you treat it, compared to other distributions.

It is bleeding-edge though, and pretty memory-effective and speedy.

[-] nicoweio@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

With NixOS on the rise, I'm not sure how much longer this remains the case. Haven't tried it yet, though.

as a linux user i can confirm that is true. even though i use ubuntu. in fact this very comment proves it.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 22 points 7 months ago

Linux users.... The vegans of IT.

[-] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 31 points 7 months ago

And just like the real world, as annoying as vegans are, they ultimately are ideologically right

So majority keep it to themselves, and those who aren't vegans bother them about being vegan?

so... constantly and unprovoked forced to defend their choice of OS and refute bullshit myths by Windows users?

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Friend always talks about talking about linux with girls, acts weird and stuff. Its so dramatic, I wonder if he is being sarcastic. On the other hand, he is the only person I know outside of the internet who talks about linux while using a windows laptop as a daily driver

[-] dukk@programming.dev 5 points 7 months ago

Damn, I used to be that guy too (the one who talks about Linux whilst using Windows). I actually posted my Windows rice as a Linux rice in unixporn a while ago…it really did look like Linux.

I use NixOS now, but I keep Windows on a separate drive in case I ever need it.

I use Linux btw.

Gimp is great and free btw.

I can just compress that video with a single command btw.

You want to resize that image? Let me pull up a terminal. This is Linux btw.

( Even though not all of us are using Arch, we all have little Arch trolls inside us)

windows is shit

I love my purple Arch, and I will indeed recommend it to people

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

BS, everyone always talks about the latest version of windows as if 98 isn't the template all modern guis start with.

Me personally, tho, only run ME.

[-] Nerii@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

This isn’t true either, because when I’ve built computers in the past, we go over which OS is trash.

[-] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

And since when recommending operating system is weird? People recommend YouTube channels, productivity apps, TV shows, tech gadgets... Recommending something that is second most popular thing is not weird.

I got a friend who was constantly downloading shit from shady "gratis" software sites injecting adware. Because of common reinstalling I had to do for him I had to create second partition for his personal files to not constantly transfer them back and forth the USB disk. But then he struggle to manage his files, because I couldn't just put his /home directory on separate logical volume, no. Windows required him to juggle files around C: and D: drives with fixed sizes and with Desktop and Downloads being on C: anyway. People using Btrfs or LVM know what I am talking about. As he mostly used a browser, LibreOffice and games from Steam/Epic, why I shouldn't suggest him another OS?

Another example can be my grandpa with older computer (talking 2GB of RAM) that is perfectly happy with lightweight but modern system. Or my nephew who loves playing with painting programs, webcam and Minesweeper-like games without additional popups or TikTok shortcuts being placed in app menu.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

This is like when I download an app for work or other such function and they ask me to rate. RANDOM PEOPLE WOULD GET NO USE OUT OF THIS APP, WHY ARE YOU ASKING IF ID RECOMMEND THIS APP?
