What a coincidence, I am a pack of wolves in a trenchcoat.
Now you only need a reason to fight and you can make a movie
Sit with the Linux guy. Then tell him one of the wolves thinks Arch is bloated. Then I get half the plane to myself.
If you want to be distro-neutral tell him one of the wolf has issues with windows.
instrucrions unclear. now wolves are using linux
Inside you there are two wolves.
One use Gentoo
The other one use Gentoo
You are compiling
Don't need to. If I walked onto a plane and I'm deciding where to sit, there's only one reason I would know the guy is a Linux user (he uses Arch btw).
I like to fall asleep to boring audiobooks. The Linux guy would just be the live action version.
I'm a canid furry and am trying to decide what distro to switch to when Win 10 caps out.
This is a hard decision for me, but not the way the author intended.
I love how no two of the replies to this comment suggested the same distro. (Okay, two people said Fedora, but no two of the others.)
I'm going to exacerbate that problem by saying Pop!_OS.
Also there's no reason to believe the Linux user isn't a canid furry also. Arch users are kinda famous for it.
Excellent point re:arch.
Source: I'm an Arch user, see my Lemmy instance
If you have no/very little experience and want to switch as easily as possible I’d use Linux Mint, but if you want a bit more of a “power user distro” I’d suggest a distro from the fedora family (Fedora/Nobara/Fedora Atomic/Aurora/Bazzite) depending on what you want to do.
"No Bara?" That's gonna be a problem...
I'm not super techy; basic windows user type. I distro hopped for a while, and landed on fedora. Love it. Vanilla Gnome is awesome for me, and provides enough of a difference from Windows to feel fresh and fun, while being intuitive enough to figure out easily. The terminal is optional, but fun to use, and there are guides a plenty, though if you need to rely on guides for everything, Ubuntu based distros are going to have way more.
Make it simple and just use fedora. Has lots of the same benefits as openSUSE, except openSUSE allows you to choose any and all the software that should be installed through a GUI installer. You should be fine, use flatpak for the freedom from distro specific application packages, and the ability to harden flatpak sandboxing through Flatseal or native support in system UI. For a Windows looking UI, I recommend KDE Plasma which is available for Fedora as the KDE Spin edition, or natively in the openSUSE installer.
Is this like an alternative 13 werewolves?
Use Slackware. Why stop half way when leaving behind the mainstream?
If you want i can help you choose a distro, it really depends on your personal preference, pm me or reply if you want me to help
I would use Ubuntu if you would like good community support
We're all dead because the wolves aren't staying in their seats.
Linux has good security, simply chmod the seats on the left so the wolves don't get execute permissions
Nah, they're just it people on their way to a convention
You're on lemmy, you're all already the Linux guy and I'm already sat with you on this eternal flight
I'd love to talk about Linux for 10 hours.
Before I decide... do the wolves use Windows?
They're mac users
ok, the Linux guy wins it
I pick the hungry danger puppies, if I get to feed them that is.
Because I already use Arch btw.
The wolves won at "who really likes to talk"
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Wouldn't Richard Stallman fit it better? Even visually?
He's a pedophile though so he shouldn't be worshipped
I sit next to the Linux guy. I can info dump better than he can, he'll move himself into the wolf side of the aisle before we've even taken off.
humans have a pretty good track record with wolves.
Simple.... Guy who really likes to talk about Linux. I can do that for the whole flight as well.
I'd talk to the Linux guy about how fun it used to be to install debian 1.1 back in 1995. And how I've still got the same /home from that install
I'll get off the plane as fast as possible.
I'll exit the unfastened fake door for an Archer, but I'd gladly sit with a Geny, Rhely, Deby, or Lfstist.
aww the doggies :3
ITT: half of lemmy is the guy on the left.
Sacrifice him to the pack, steal his laptop, pet the doggies
