Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor…
Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn’t a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you’re not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you’ll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.
You should, a great place to start is helping write documentation. A lot of big projects have groups that work on creating user guides and api info, some programming experience is normally required but not as much as when contributing code so it’s a great way of building understanding and confidence.
After having to use Ubuntu at work for > 1 year, I find it hard to endure. But of course, maybe it was just the computers being slow, except for Debian KDE working perfectly well on them.
Isn’t it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?
You’re affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I’m not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you’re a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.
How you feel about it is upto you.
Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?
I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It’s probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don’t envy, but pity you.
They’re owned by a for-profit company, they collect data on you by default, they’ve already had privacy issues in the past, and they include non-free software by default. I would rather have a beginner start off with Debian or Trisquel. We shouldn’t be trapping people into these distros because then they’ll potentially get too comfortable and not make the switch. This is coming from someone who did start off on Ubuntu. Sure, it’s more convenient, but we should be teaching people to value freedom over convenience. Even if the data collection is minimal, it’s still data.
Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.
Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

That’s also one of my goals. I started recently with contributing to open street maps to complete the entries for my local village.
i think i have a 2 day streak of the twin towers being mentioned in a day.

This is not a joke. If you don’t wake up at 4 am to start harassing windows users, you will never become a GNU/Linux Trillionaire.

I clearly didn’t put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.
And no its not THE problem, I’m able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.

Ubuntu sucks. Not because it’s for newbies, it’s because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.
What the fuck even is this meme lmao?
Me and OP can compare paychecks, I’ve never used Linux in my life.
Paychecks? I am a self-made billionaire, all thanks to the Free Software Grindset
OP and I*
Acktually, it’s GNU/Linux, Linux is just the kernel :)
Ubuntu is spyware.
Pure FUD
