I used to wear too many hats at work, now I wear too many socks at home
windows
What’s Mac?
sandals or something
With posix socks underneath…
E + Sandals must be openSuSe.
And Slackware is no clothes at all.
Gentoo is a loom.
LFS is the location of a bag of cotton and carding instructions.
And Slackware is no clothes at all.
slackware is regular socks with those leather hold ups for men in the 1950s
… But completely nude otherwise.
Sandals and socks it is then!
As is German tradition.
as an openSUSE user can confirm that i wear sandals
but i dont wear socks
You do not want to see an old-school greybeard dressing like this.
You might think you do when you first imagine the concept, but no, you really don’t.
Source: Am at the very least greybeard adjacent.
That’s funny because seeing that meme, I thought how interesting it was that the “hardcoreness” of a Linux user went from being measured by the length of the greybeard to the height of the programming socks.
Although, I guess back then, the distros mentioned would probably have been revolving around Gentoo, void, slackware, and Linux from scratch. So I suppose greybeards don’t necessarily need the high socks.
Damn shame if you ask me.
Well, you haven’t seen what’s under the skirt
Upvoted, for being the only one to mention
void
so far.
:)
I mean, if your beliefs in the unix philosophy are still strong enough to do away with the convenience that is (or can be…) systemd, you deserve some respect.
runit is niiiiiice.
I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again…
Distro surfing on the side (e.g. with virtual machines, or pendrives, or multiboots, or spare machines), rather than distrohopping for the main daily driver, kept me sane as I surfed (probably) over 1000 distros between 2003 and 2012. Really only had 3 long lasting daily drivers in that time [on my main rig], from suse, to sabayon, to gentoo [and crunchbang and others on the thinkpad].
All my rabid distro surfing (~ not distrohopping, honest! lol) stopped, when I found the cheatcode…
cheatcode to end distrohopping
… Just in case that mantra fails.
… Damn you.
Here comes a number of hours
procrastinatingtinkering with my system to make me more productive on one of the numerous side projects that I will, for sure, finish now.
There is room in !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone for everyone!
Speak for yourself.
Temple OS, checking in.
More like…
Bazzite/SteamOS:
Stockings actually protect against leg blood clots
Commodore OS Vision
They look fucking RAD!
If you like Grey alien penis slippers.
Doesn’t everyone?
I’ve not asked everyone.
…
It’s not something I ask anyone.
So I don’t know.
Oh…
Except, I know there’s at least one who does not.
as a mint user you can pry my thigh highs from my cold dead hands
Why are you wearing them on your hands?
If they’re made for hands, they are gloves.
hey thigh highs are great socks but cut the bottoms off for fingers and thumbs, sew some lace on the top, and add some trinkets for decoration, and they make cute arm warmers too
It’s only a matter of time until you match that meme and there’s only one alternative.
arch btw…
The diagram very clearly shows there’s another Alternative…
am i gonna have to discover nixos? yes i am
Have fun! I moved to nix on my personal laptop 2 years ago, and now my config is 21k lines long and manages ~35 devices :)
Or GuixSD,
So then at least you’re learning a transferable skill.
i use mint btw.
I use Arch btw
Why does the mouse look like it had blot flies breed apon it?
I think that’s to prevent sweaty hands by allowing air to flow through the mouse and past your hand.
I like to breed things okay
The colors! My eyes! It’s not beige! /Jking
(Keep rocking the Arch)
Is this a GAN?
I believe it is a MoYu RS3M but I don’t know how to confirm that. It’s been so long since I bought it and I lost the actual box and accessories somewhere in my last couple of moves
Ah, I thought that GAN is the only one with pointy corner peices near the center. I also have MoYu, but Weilong GTSM3. It’s pretty old now, but with lube it is still very satisfying to rotate. Though not much time to cube compared to when I got it.
I thought cubers were crazy before I held a GAN cube. That is 100% a GAN or at the least one of those knock off GAN (that are still way better than a regular rubix).
Windows
BTW I dream of staying in Mint. Naah.
Windows
This, but with only four toes, all the same size.
i use openSUSE and i usually don’t wear socks
here it is warm enough for sandals to be practical, but i do have some Linux Mint socks for when i wear hiking boots
i should get some NixOS socks
You should just wear socks with sandals, I hear it’s fashionable
I actually use openSUSE too, but my socks are between Mint and Ubuntu.
to me socks aren’t comfortable
autism sensory something
Same, but I like to wear sneakers and they get weird without socks.
my nixOS didn’t come with thigh highs
they’re available separately
you can install them from a package manager such as Amazon
oh actually my bad, i figured out how to do it declaratively
configuration.nix
{ pkgs, config, lib, ... }: { # ... thigh-highs.enable = true; # ... }
openSUSE
Nah, ubuntus definitely the ankle socks
Like, yes and no.
For people who are somewhat familiar with Linux, Ubuntu is certainty recognised as being about as mainstream as any distro is able to be, and a safe haven for Linux noobs for decades.
In recent years however it’s Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro for people fleeing the evils of Windows, ramping up especially with the discontinuation of Windows 10.
So right now, Mint might be more of a beginner distro than even Ubuntu.
Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro
I can bring my anecdote to the table:
I was able to mess up my initial ubuntu install so bad, that any time I deleted a file, the system thought I threw out that piece of drive with it. Maybe I reigned back on my careless ‘sudoing’, but Mint was able to take me all the way to the Arch variants without breaking.
Now I just do whatever Endeavour tells me. Next step will be to start messing properly with Arch (and kin), and see what all the fuss is about around FOSS.
Mint is considered the best replacement for Windows because Cinnamon more closely resembles Windows. Personally I can’t stand GNOME, but I’ve heard it more closely resembles macOS
I’m using mint in fluffy warm house socks. In my defense, I’m using Mint because I may have to install a super user-friendly linux on the old computers of two boomer family members who are using win 11 and macOS respectively.
I need to make sure I know it really well and can do whatever tech support I need to do. And lock it down for them.
But I’m also digging it. Especially since it’s not Weyland, I’ve been able to lock all the inputs and still watch movies
Edit: to protect from my cat, who just knocked my phone out of my hand and butt submitted this before I was ready. Now to clean my screen
If you are going to provide support to non-Linux users, I would highly recommend an immutable distro. Choosing something from Fedora or it’s clones will keep uneducated users from being able to mess with the underlying OS. Yet it allow users to install/uninstall software through flatpacks with no need of sudo and the risks it can bring. Updates can be set to automatic and they will never need to do updates themselves. And if something does go boom, then you can easily roll back on reboot to get a working desktop until you can fix things for them.
is this real?
~ Kinda.
Under the skirt, going up, there’s Gentoo, Exherbo, and LFS.
LFS is just a fucking body suit
LFS is Hell.
There was a time I thought I knew how to Linux properly. I could compile kernels fearlessly. But I was wrong. So very, very wrong…
spoiler
… Other side, there’s Bedrock.
