Linux is pretty easy to use nowadays. The only thing I would check before switching is driver compatibility.

Well, you have the opportunity to. The fact that it is compiled on your system already gives you a lot of discretion. You can at least see what code is going into the compiler locally.

They are referring to the fact that Gentoo compiles everything from source rather than shipping binaries. This creates a lot of duplicated work between every user. But it’s not just for nothing. You get to actually know what code ends up in your binaries and they are optimized for your system. It is a trade off.

Seriously. Do not go for suckless unless you are an advanced user. It is not reasonable to change from a GUI OS to beyond CLI to literally “code it in config.h”. suckless is great but not for beginners.

What a dumb bet. I do use Linux, NixOS specifically, across all my laptops and servers. I still begrudge the corporate influence.

If you lost the bet, what do I win?

Does it seem like VNC would fit your use case? TigerVNC is cross platform and reliable.

He did nothing. Red Hat did.

Yeah, start here. Also, there might be useful info in dmesg.

At least he took his own initiative

My ass smells like roses. The real problem is all the thorns.

None of that is emotional or personal because I don’t personally identify with software you weirdo.

You have it backwards. The corporations are extracting free public contributions.

Warm and cozy? What do you expect? Why else would I be here? God you people are dumb.

Linux is #1 run by corporate interests like Red Hat (who controls the entire Linux ecosystem, see systemd etc.) in the exact same way as Microsoft. Linux being open source doesn’t mean it isn’t a corporate project by cumulative billion value companies. It’s not free software. It is what’s called “embrace extend extinguish”.

In short, you can only defend Linux over Windows once Linux stops accepting patches from Microsoft.

What part of any of those opinions is toxic? Lol. If your feelings get hurt because of your parasocialtechnological relationship with software you didn’t even write, take it up with your therapist.

Linux is just Microsoft for oblivious nerds
