I'd love to have a girl, or anyone for that matter ask me that. Though preferably not with the phrase "what the fuck" in front of it. I'd rather them ask me about it out of pure curiosity rather then out of distain and annoyance.

This guy is spitting the facts

get yourself a girl who not only knows what it is but runs it with you :)

Yes.

1. Install Steam.
2. Play games.

So far I've only had an issue with one game (easy to fix, I just restarted steam). I'm relatively new to Linux. (Switched because I didn't feel like paying for windows when I built my PC). To be transparent, I did use Linux a bit 5 years ago in school. But I don't think that counts.

I used to also think gaming and Linux are not really that compatible, but Proton being built into steam makes it easy to run pretty much any game out of the box now.

It's really a bit like what we used to do when we poked at autoexec.bat and whatnot when running DOS games back when dinosaurs roamed the land.

It's not really complicated, you just have to prod here and there until it works (unless it just doesn't because some kind of anti-consumer software lock just won't play nice with Wine, although that's becoming less common nowadays).

OTOH, things that aren't Linux friendly... corporate accounting, an awful lot of dedicated software for niche industries... There's no lack of things that are still complicated in Linux.

I use both Linux and Windows (Linux professionally, windows personally)

Got a buddy of mine that will wax on for hours about how windows is pointless and should have been replaced by Linux years ago. I'll then go "Cool, so uh, did that game download yet? Lets play!" Then start up the game. Four hours later and he's still trying to get the sound to work or make the graphics display while continuing his rant on how user friendly Linux is.

Like, Linux is great and all, but fuck me, it's not user friendly.

Y'all are very serious for a meme community

Its not something that effect's your every day live its just a book

Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Motherboard and Server?

UwU

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Linus Torvalds

I heard the name Linux from Minecraft being available on "Windows, Mac, & Linux" when I was maybe 12-13 (2014-15), but I never looked into it, and all I thought of it was it was some kind of really obscure operating system. I wondered why I'd never seen a Linux computer in tech stores. And Windows seemed perfectly fine, so why would I need to use it? "It probably has some crazy UI that nobody can understand"(except I didn't know what 'UI' was at that age)

That's back than... I've been using Linux as my daily driver now since mid 2021, and I've been on Manjaro for nearly 1 & a half years.

However, I've met barely anyone who even knows what "a Linux" is. I've met a guy who was only using Kali Linux because he wanted to hack or something; and a friend at my church who manages a lot of the technology and computers: him and his father tried using Ubuntu about 10 years ago when he was a late teen. Than there's another guy at my church who, despite never having used Linux in his life; surprisingly new a lot about it and was able to help me solve a display issue I was having earlier this year. I've nearly gotten my Mum onto Linux Mint for her laptop 😂, because she really only makes documents, browses websites, and checks emails, and really doesn't need to be paying for Windows & having updates forced on her regularly. As a matter of fact, I'm downloading it for her as I type.

We’ve got Linux and eggs, eggs sausage Linux and ham, Linux Linux sausage and eggs, toast juice Linux and ham…

Sorry, I promise that the next one will be about not being able to exit vim
