Looks like an average Google Gemini reponse
Id like ai a lot more if this were the case
arch is like when you put bacon on your grilled cheese and dip it in tomato soup
Just be to grow your own tomatoes and raise your own cows first
Ive always used Debian based OS and I'm scared of arch. But I'm intrigued.
And this helps cook my grilled cheese?
Who said anything about cheese?
This is what using Lemmy feels like sometimes.
Here's some others:
- Windows is garbage. The last time windows was good was Windows [10, 7, 2000, NT, 3.1, O/S2].
- don't you care about your privacy?
- All AI is all slop all the time. If you think of using AI you are garbage.
- Star Trek. I have no issues with my Star Trek homies. Y'all are awesome.
- Capitalism is always given as the reason something is bad, that way nobody has to try and improve anything because the revolution is for later and working within the system is supporting the bad thing.
"Let's rant about linux.... in a linux community"
If you are so sassy about people having fun, just block the instance. I cant promise you will stop reading about linux, but your feed will be co siderably cleaner
Do you not get the meme... It's funny because it's true.
It's true because you are in the wrong comunities.. I dont see tankies, I don't see porn and definitely it's been a long while since the last time I saw star trek references on lemmy.
The last time Windows was good was⦠hmm. Never. It was never good.
hey winmate on my tandy sensation was pretty awesome.
That's just incorrect, 95, 98, XP and 7 were some of the most popular OSs ever.
Dondalf Trumpssolini won the popular vote. Does that make him a good president or person?

You are forgetting:
- you have the moral obligation to pirate all creative works.
IP as a concept exists in a superstate where it's bad in the context of piracy but good in the context of generative AI.
When I watch a movie, the credits roll at the end. I can look up the actors on IMDb. Even if I pirated it, I know who made it. That's how I know Rian Johnson is a good director and I should watch anything he makes.
AI can't name its inspiration.
I'm sorry XP was the good windows lmao
Windows XP was the start of the worst of Windows. Keep 9x out of NT!
hey i like my snes9x

I'm sure Linux is overrepresented across the whole of Lemmy but to be fair, we are in a community specifically about Linux. You could also just block the term Linux and be done with it

An infidel should not join the congregation, if they do not intend to convert. /s
No need for a vm btw, you can try a lot of them from your browser using distrosea.
This doesn't really help you see what runs on your hardware.
A distribution isn't a desktop.
Neither does a vm
Got em!
Quite.
People should test distributions from bootable media.
Is mayonnaise a distribution?
Looks like it. You distribute it across the bread.

Or just start with Ubuntu, while using a good mayonnaise for your grilled cheese.
Even better, Debian. Most peaceful distro ever.
Ubuntu is the miracle whip of distros.
Let me interject for a moment. What youβve referred to as βbutterβ is actually βI canβt believe itβs not/butterβ. Have a pleasant day!
Oh, I remember that margarine brand, ICBINB: I Can't Believe ICBINB's Not Butter

so, that's NetBSD under heavy load.
I think you need to reinitialize pan.sh

before you reach for butter, have you even considered whether or not a rolling release distro is right for you?
