I feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Why stop at Ubuntu if you can try a new distro each month?

[-] [email protected] 77 points 8 months ago

This is the way, quit your real job and focus on nothing but switching distros

Then find sysadmin/devops/sre/younameit job 😅

Newbie here but wouldn't it be

 chown -f $USER /sys/admin/dev/ops/sre/younameit.job  

?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

fuck I can't believe I've done this

[-] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah seems to be the correct path, you just end up learning so much!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I'm in this comment and I don't know how to feel about it.

I am so happy that my parents didn't buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster...

What's your story? :)

Has anyone made c/distroHopping yet?

This is pretty cool. We really have moved over from Reddit, since we already have some of the niche communities. There are plenty of Linux users already, so it shouldn’t take long for people to start posting there.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I just made a post there

I guess there’s that beginner period when that should be allowed. I kind of wished it happened to me again, instead of daily driving boring Arch systems with no incentive to ever change.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah when you're a beginner or when you get back into Linux you have like a grace period to reproduce a productive environment, then you're worried about changing too much in case it all breaks and goes wrong

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.
