Ever since I bought my steam deck, I've had an uncomfortable urge to end every sentence with "by the way", I feel like I'm missing pare of my sentence, It hurts my soul... like I'm missing my Arch on my feet. I can't explain it, I know it's not my shoes, my insoles are custom I use Arch By the way.
I use Arch, by the way.
How likely are you to recommend Arch to a friend or colleague? 1, not likely, to 5, extremely likely.
For Arch users, this question reduces to "how likely are you to have a friend or colleague"
Shame they didn't mention grandmothers, they can be the most patient listening to ramblings about Arch.
Honestly? It actually depends on the friend or colleague.
Arch isn't as bad as it can seem, especially if you find an installer for it. Something that's more mainstream linux might be better; though. especially if they're looking for a "it works" kind of thing.
Me too...
...on my Steamdeck.
i use arch btw
Yeah, just got back after admitting that gentoo is unmaintainable
I use NixOS, btw
People don't recommended Windows
Some people do recommend windows.
Friends don't.
Microsoft does
Microsoft recommends Linux

I'd actually recommend Windows to people I know would keep asking me support questions, so I can say sorry, I use Linux, you'll have to ask someone else.
I use Mint, by the way :3
That's great and all but why bring up your favorite chewing gum flavor?
No ACTUALLY I use LINUX Mint, my favorite LINUX flavor (which I use, by the way) 3:
This is interesting because Iβve been having conversations about what operating system I recommend for the last 20+ years.
(slappy uses arch, btw)
Close! Trisquel.
Never heard of it, would you recommend it?
Definitely! Zero proprietary software.
Mmm, Triscuit!
Trisquel
Eww Ubuntu.
Should have stated "no normal people"
Nerds don't fall in that category when talking about OSes.
Is your purpose here only to be contrarian about a topic that, judging by your comments on SteamOS, you know nothing about and understand even less? Just say so and we can collectively ignore you.
Pretty sure I saw this meme half a year ago.
Edit: My bad, I suppose this is the original and the other one is an edit.
This is almost a decade old at this point, I think
can you ask it for a few more pixels
I don't recommend Linux. I recommend Freedom
Amen to that
Believes in free software...
But uses Twitter...
Fair point
@96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl Believes in free softwareβ¦.
Still uses a closed-source modem baseband to connect to the internet.
Also probrally still uses an absolutely proprietary CPU with an absolutely proprietary BIOS/Firmware
Respect that you used your password generator for your username though.
It's like an existential crisis, like a threat to our very well-being. Like, of course I'm gonna mention Linux.
