You probably never used Linux. Or you used it 20 years ago.
Last time was... Oh... 4 months ago, before my RPi was put in storage?
RPI is ARM not X86_64.
You really think that's a proper equivalent?
Because it's not, it's not even the same at the terminal level because you're missing quite a number of select tools that aren't cross-compiled (yet).
Try Windows on ARM and compare it to the x86 version.
Not to mention both Linux and MacOS are way more developed on ARM than Windows is.
MacOS being the best ofc, thanks to the compatibility layer.
I believe your judging Linux too harshly based on an uneven playing ground.
Don't hurt your back with that goalpost my man!
Don't hurt yourself trying to comprehend the difference between ARM & x86_64 architecture my man!
Deadass, I challenge you to install Windows on that Raspberry Pie, actually use it for a week, film the whole thing and upload a video on "just how amazing and usable Windows on ARM is compared to it's X86 version" & seriously mean it. If you can do that, only then will your obvious troll energy turn into anything real. Fuck it, if you manage to install steam on Windows 11 ARM that'd be enough.
I've been there, done that. ಠ_ಠ
You realise the comment I was replying to was "I bet you never used Linux or you used it 20 years ago" and I simply replied to that and you're the one who decided to shift the conversation to talk about ARM vs x86/64 and their compatibility with other OS... Right? You realize you derailed the conversation?
RIGHT?
Nobody here; including the original comment you replied to; is talking about using Linux on an ARM device like a RPI except you.
Nore is Linux on a RPI an equivalent to using it on an actual desktop and that includes the terminal too because not every CLI tool outside of the coreutils has an ARM version or equivalent.
You realize bring up the RPI in your reply is completely irrelevant to the conversation... Right?
RIGHT?
No one except you is talking about using Linux on specific hardware and I was replying to a question after I talked about having to look up what to enter in the terminal, which is the same experience no matter if isn't ARM or x... God damn, how do you manage to tie your shoelaces in the morning?
Literally the entire fuckin post, comments and replies are about Desktop Linux.
Why the fuck do you think you got down voted when you brought up the RPI? Because it's completely irrelevant; You even literally said so yourself just now.
How the fuck do you remember to breathe when you're this inept?
If you want to talk about the terminal then talk about the terminal, don't be a smart ass thinking nobody will notice.
Why the fuck do you think you got down voted when you brought up the RPI.I mean... Look at the way you act in your replies and it's pretty clear why people get downvoted when they ridicule Linux users 🤔
How are you "ridiculing Linux users"?
You're the one who brought up a completely irrelevant topic and got all pissy when you got told it's not relevant. You shouldn't have even brought up the RPI to begin with and just ended it at "I used it 4 months ago..."
I'm done with your constant circle jerking because you can't put 2 & 2 together to make 4.
