I just don't know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don't know anything about Linux, I know I'm not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It's like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it's suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don't speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don't know!

I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can't stop.

    The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.

    I had a conversation with a friend last night and he was talking about something Linux related and I accidentally contributed to the conversation. I immediately thought "god dammit Lemmy".

    You WILL eat your vegetables. It's good for you. One day you will install it and you will be grateful.

    Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don't like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don't want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don't want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.

    In that case Mint would be perfect for you.

    This response is perfect and I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it's 100% serious and I read too much into it.

    There's comedic genius in: "I hate talking about Linux, it's just a tool" "In that case here's a distro recommendation for you"

    No encryption provided; Christians have nothing to hide

    I actually 100% support this. Let's make sure every church only uses HTTP and does not hash their passwords.

    After all...what do they have to hide?

    I once met someone back in school (eons ago) that was both a devout Born-again Christian and wildly enthusiastic Linux user. I once remarked that I personally witnessed him convert more people to Linux than Christianity.

    Stupid teenage me didn't mean to come of as so savage, but judging by the look on his face, I think that broke him a little. :(

    After much dedicated and persistent blocking of communities, I don't see much Linux on lemmy anymore. But I don't see much on lemmy anymore.

    Would be more accurate if it said Linux memes: I don't think I've seen any facts AFAIK.

    Posting on an open-source platform and being surprised by the amount of people who talk about an open-source operating system is something.

    I want to be her. Where can I find someone to spoon-feed me Linux?
