Yes brother, may they be blessed with the stage 0 tarball.

Blessings for hours and days.

Gentoo is for everypony!

I use Arch, BTW.

If I could give awards I'd be doing so on this comment. Absolute gold. 🥇

Use and maintain lfs/blfs setup for peak misery

I use Gentoo, that distro is rock solid and easy to use.

And I build my own kernel. It's really not that hard.

I've never had to reinstall Arch! Never! It's probably the most stable system I've used. Additionally, I didn't update one for 3 years, and when I ran a system update it worked perfectly.

just set up shell scripts to help yourself reinstall arch

I'm about to need some therapy with the computer problems I'm dealing with, I tell you what.

Holy C is best C

You know what, this is the first time I realized this even though it should be obvious. It makes so much more sense now.

I think you just described why being on social media is bad for our mental health. Or most of the internet now really. I've never had ads or AI shit in the tens of thousands of Windows deployments I've had to push out at companies. I also don't have them on my families personal machines.

It's a bad move by Microsoft to include that shit... But it isn't them that got my mental health this way. They are just falling into the well if everyone is shanking public mental health and making money off it .. I guess we have to as well otherwise our shareholders quite literally will sue us for not attempting to make them more money at every stage all of the time reguardless of the harm it could cause.

Turns out capitalism might not be good for our mental health..

Can confirm :3

You put it out in the universe. You’re doomed to go through another one!

(I’ve been in IT for 10 years, I don’t wish this on my worst enemy, sorry for your luck.)

Same for me..I'm a totally different person because I found Linux..If I had found it earlier maybe I would pursuit an IT career but I'm still glad to have a hobby that fulfill my hunger for knowledge and I have a lot of fun tinkering and playing with Linux

Be the change

But do you use Trumpix or Ubuntu Tesla Edition?

You forgot linux.

No way! I usually start with Star Trek first, then the rest after that.

Also Star Wars too.

sucks your mum died; maybe it was from the shame of you using Adobe products

I would never say that to anyone. Lol.

But I would probably wear it on a t-shirt.

I was taking a stab at the meta. Although i don't doubt this has happened somewhere

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies where-ever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it. You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never executed that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument. Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD? If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.

We found the Linux Police people💀

is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux

Average GNU, can't even tell a division slash / from an addition plus +.

perhaps, "we told 100 depressed people to excercise, 50 of them did, and the depressed people who excercised had way better mental health!"

SCNR

As long as it's an arch type bridge.......

...or mint. Mint is good. It's based on Ubuntu, but greener and less commercial. Also less orange. And it'll feel moderately familiar without being even slightly the same.

Agreed, playing pokemon and beating gyms always cheers me up

I did a little time in the feds with a guy named Jim. He was a horrible racist.

Especially if it's arch Linux
