From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The use of the 10 Guy template makes this read as if "fuck windows" are a thing normally called something else. And now I wanna know what that thing is.

When you're sky high with your FOSS buddies.

That shit never happens man, I hate it, everyone that is geeky enough to use Linux around here, doesn't do weed 😡.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Linux is fun, don't need weed to enjoy it.

Ok, Guys i am sorry. I actually was looking for a different meme witch more a hech yeah attidyde but then i stumbled onto this template i thought it be hillarious. I sort of made the switch recently and i learned a lot. I don't wanna go back.

Who is down voting this?! 👾👾👾

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People who appreciate that this is meme abuse? This basically says "I'm an internet dumbass and I use Linux".

BTW.

I am really sorry i pissed you all of, i just recently switched on a whim while i was gething super into being a windows poweruser and i swear i have nothing but love <3 i saw a really cool hyper-land interface, it was fast, beuatifull. i dig that. I installed it and i except for work i only used windows as a virtual dekstop 3 times in the month i am doing it.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Congrats on your switch! Arch is awesome. Your meme-ing needs work lol

I would casually suggest you suckless tools of you haven't found them yet. ST with ZSH is awesome and also dwm is a killer window manager.

Please DM me if you need any help, for real.

I'm used to hanging around on !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz if that says something.

[–] Fryboyter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

This meme is absolutely low effort trash.
Memes are generally annoying from my point of view.
The meme could be considered a violation of rules 1 and 4 that apply to this community.
The meme is absolute bullshit because Windows is not blanket garbage. Windows, just like Linux, has advantages and disadvantages.

That might be some reasons why the post got some downvotes.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ancient internet historian here. Well, the text is agreeable for this community, the image usually implies that the text is dumb, or something that you would say if you were high.

So for people in the know this meme comes off as insulting to people who don't like Windows. This is probably a good chunk of the population of this community.

Migrated redditors who are mad that the FOSS platform they're using attracts Linux users.

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or people who don't want to see low effort meme content. There's a community specifically for that sort of thing and Linux. linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Lemmy.one doesn't allow downvoting though, so I didn't downvote it, but I sure as heck didn't upvote it.

Huh? I thought that it only applies to posts on your instance and not all the interactions that users of this instance can do. Am I wrong?

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Nope, as a Lemmy.One user, I cannot downvote anywhere. It's probably my only complaint with Lemmy.One, actually. I'm not sure I would have downvoted this, but it is the type of thing I don't want to see.

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, looks like it's a global setting. If your instance doesn't allow it, you're not allowed to downvote anywhere.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can a person outside of instance with disabled downvotes downvote stuff on that instance?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that's what I was trying to explain. If downvotes are disabled on your instance, you can't downvote anything anywhere on any instance.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm asking for the opposite, if your instance allows you to downvote stuff then can you downvote stuff that's on instances that don't allow them?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, like beehaw. I can downvote stuff on beehaw, tried it just to see if I can.

But, I don't think they can see the downvotes.

[–] Obsession@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

It's the wrong use of a meme template

It's a low effort meme in a general linux community

[–] bumbo_jumbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use and love many flavors of Linux, but Windows and macOS are honestly cool too and I use all of them on a daily basis. It’s just cringey to me when people get all dumb and elitist about Linux.

[–] lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats 1 points 1 year ago

I agree the post is cringe, my brain somehow just thought I'd make a dry slightly related remark (context below) and it ended up sounding a bit too serious.

The context was that I've seen quite a few angry/troll posts elsewhere on this instance recently complaining there are too many Linux communities on here, and I found this post to be the other extreme.
