I've only been using Linux for a few days. Am I allowed to have a superiority complex yet?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Nah, Linux is too mainstream, its more like a soft drug.

If you want the REAL GOOD STUFF you need to daily drive 9Front.

It is not about mainstream or not, it is a about superiority.

I wanted to make a Plan9 joke, didn't even realize that there were new iterations, cool.

He mentions the good stuff and doesn't even touch on TempleOS

I've been roaming Linux (meme) communities for years, but never heard of this, even though it originates from the Bell Labs. Thanks for providing me with a new rabbit hole!

I use Arch, btw

(But it's Manjaro)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I use manjaro, but I used to use arch btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I tried both, succeeded at both, but chose Manjaro btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When I built my next computer I was just too short on time to build arch btw, that's when it didn't have an installer btw. Manjaro was the next best thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Manjaro is the best best thing, and Arch btw comes second

Btw, if you just need a quick Arch install, there is an EndeavourOS, or simply an archinstall script.

Manjaro is very different on a technical side, it's not just "easy arch btw"

Hello and welcome to the Linux club! Remember to always mention Linux as your OS as much as you can and add "btw".

I run Arch btw.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Done and done, thank you for the warm reception.

I run ~~arch~~ mint btw

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Absolutely, that is legal from the first second of use.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

After this news? Don't feel the smug all atbonce or you will fucking die.

Good to know, I'll be careful not to indulge too much! Though I did it proper with a Thinkpad as well so I may overdose anyway haha
