Amazingly, the answer to #5 is yes!

Is Proton a Debian-based distro?
Why use Wine? All it does is emulate Windows.
WSL invalidates Linux's existence.
Linus is the Colonel of Linux.
How to piss off a Linux guy in 3 steps:
Step 1: Use Windows
Step 2: Encounter a computer problem and ask the Linux guy for a solution.
Step 3: When they say they don't know Windows, mock them for being so stupid despite staying in the terminal playing pretend hackerman all day.
Go back to the retirement home grandpa. Computers are grok prompts now with subscription tokens. Pass me the verification can gramps. Heil musk!
I had an experience something like that once. The guy snorted at me and said: "I thought you knew about computers". I just stood up and said: "You know, you're absolutely right. Good luck fixing the issue." and I left.
I legitimately don't know how to administer a Windows system anymore.
A good one is saying windows is the best Linux distro because you can just run exes straight from the shell
~/dev/foo $ msbuild.exe MyProject2026UltimatePro.sln | grep Error(s)
Try it and confirm there is no god
- Terrible choice, but if it works for you...
- For some use-cases, sure.
wine program.exe- "Then what have I been playing Pong on all this time?"
- It is, actually. WSL isn't "proper" Linux, but it's there!
- Yeah, imagine...
Ugh you don't need to write 30 million lines of code to install a browser. You need to compile 30 million lines of code to install a browser. π
#5 is actually true. Install Ubuntu for WSL from the Windows store. WSL is great BTW
1- No, Windows 11 mains you
2- Yes, ubuntu is much larger than arch
3- We have many ways to install anything
4- No, but neither does Windows, who at Microsoft is troubleshooting your games?
5- Yes! But Windows works much better on linux than linux does on Windows
6- Imagine 30 million lines to fix your last update
4- hey windows actually has a useless troubleshooting wizard, and when cortana gets good enough they might just revive clippy

4- kind of yes, if you count wsl
For three, say "command prompt" instead.
In fairness, several major distros are available on the Microsoft store.
My dating tip?
YY/MM/DD
No love for YYYY-MM-DD?
If you see a date in that format, it's pretty unambiguous.
Also great for naming files in the filesystem, and thereby giving it both context and a sorting space.
I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.
You're right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.
See, my dating tip is the exact opposite.
DD/MM/YY
The worst date format. Even worse than Americans mm dd yy
Might I suggest Y/MM/DD/YYY ?
Days are shorter than months, which are shorter than years.
Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.
I prefer classifaction in descending order.. Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes
Ah, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets.
Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
You forgot: "Why do you have to recompile the kernel all the time?"
How awesome is Windows? I mean the way it runs so smoothβ¦you can like process a lot of processing with the processor. Like if they added AI to the ESC key, that would really be awesome.
#6 fuckin sent me lol
I donβt get that one, could you explain?
It used to be a meme that you need to recompile your kernel any time something goes wrong on linux, or to do anything.
Its just a fucking outlandish nonsense critisism. The joke is that it sounds like the way some people have criticized linux without realizing they don't know that they're talking about, and it's exacerbating how silly it is to being cartoonishly absurd
half of them i would problem not even understand. macroslop has a shop now? I'm so happily out of the loop :)
They have had their Store for over 10 years now. I envy you if you haven't had to deal with Windows for so long. It's not even user-friendly anymore, it just hates it's users and constantly tries to scam you with ads and pop-ups
Tbf if youβve only used windows at home and not for work, it was pretty easy to just not know about the Microsoft store at all until pretty recently.
I used windows all the way up to last year and only found out about the windows store after swapping to Linux
I installed Nobara just yesterday and the installer had a game to play
You can always tell a Linux user by the body order. Oh and they're all hackers and on a government watchlist.
Edit: odor, not order
My body order is head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes). I have no idea how that flags me as a Linux user.
That's just what an Arch user would say.
Given the reference, it would have been a decent burn if you'd said Mint or Ubuntu.
I'm an LMDE user which is a sliver more advanced, but not by much. The song might even fit better. I can point at and name parts of the system and maybe even work with them, but most of the time someone else is looking after me.
Excuse you. Iβm on a government watch list for entirely different reasons. I am not a hacker.
You jest about number 5, but there were people asking if it's on the vscode extensions before.
Isn't Ubuntu available on the Microsoft store? I could have sworn it was
That was WSL ubuntu.
(I guess technically counts?)
- Best of luck with that
- If it works for you then great, that's the power of freedom/choice
- Get good
- Used to be true but nope.
- I Don't know and don't care.
- That's not code, it's a progress bar, but better.
Linux doesnβt run Fortnite and thatβs all you need to know about that shovelware.
Say there's no need for Linux when you have WSL (but pronounce it W.S.L.)
