I use Arch, by the way.
I use NixOS, btw
How likely are you to recommend Arch to a friend or colleague? 1, not likely, to 5, extremely likely.
For Arch users, this question reduces to “how likely are you to have a friend or colleague”
Shame they didn’t mention grandmothers, they can be the most patient listening to ramblings about Arch.
- i use arch btw
Honestly? It actually depends on the friend or colleague.
Arch isn’t as bad as it can seem, especially if you find an installer for it. Something that’s more mainstream linux might be better; though. especially if they’re looking for a “it works” kind of thing.
Me too…
…on my Steamdeck.
Yeah, just got back after admitting that gentoo is unmaintainable
i use arch btw
Ever since I bought my steam deck, I’ve had an uncomfortable urge to end every sentence with “by the way”, I feel like I’m missing pare of my sentence, It hurts my soul… like I’m missing my Arch on my feet. I can’t explain it, I know it’s not my shoes, my insoles are custom I use Arch By the way.

The only time I would’ve recommended Windows was around 2019 when it was clear they were making a lot of developer focused features, it felt like they were trying to win back the market share they’d lost to Macs. But no way would I recommend it now. Even then it was more of a “give it a second look” sort of thing for folks who’d sworn off of it.
It’s like an existential crisis, like a threat to our very well-being. Like, of course I’m gonna mention Linux.
I don’t recommend Linux. I recommend Freedom

Still uses a closed-source modem baseband to connect to the internet.
Also probrally still uses an absolutely proprietary CPU with an absolutely proprietary BIOS/Firmware

Pretty sure I saw this meme half a year ago.
Edit: My bad, I suppose this is the original and the other one is an edit.

This is almost a decade old at this point, I think
I use Mint, by the way :3
That’s great and all but why bring up your favorite chewing gum flavor?
No ACTUALLY I use LINUX Mint, my favorite LINUX flavor (which I use, by the way) 3:
This is interesting because I’ve been having conversations about what operating system I recommend for the last 20+ years.
Should have stated “no normal people”
Nerds don’t fall in that category when talking about OSes.
(slappy uses arch, btw)
