    Isn’t the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I’m on Linux Mint usually -_-

      Well, ubuntu is based on debian, so it is the same preference.

      quickly escapes the comment section

    Well I can tell you why Linux does not have a higher adoption rate: toxic shit like this.

    • Na the biggest and main reason why Linux doesn’t have a higher adoption rate (on desktop) is that it’s not preinstalled on the devices you buy.

      There are obviously other factors but they are miniscule in comparison

        Most people don’t want to have to use a cmd line to use their PC.

        Edit: Seriously, why is it such a confusing prospect to linux users that linux is difficult. Literally, every thread on here comparing distros is filled with

        “I used debian, but I had to update it every day or my graphics drivers would fail.”

        “Oh to fix that regularly occuring issue, just type ‘cgreg320 -I1I0O xx /*poweruninstall the year your motherboard was manufactured’ into the command prompt.”

        “Oh yeah, Nvidia graphics cards, AMD motherboards, Steam, Chrome, Adobe products, left-handed mice, and the letter F are unsupported on this distro.”

        Windows is easy. Not great, but easy.

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux.

        Oh no, I can no longer tell if you are serious or making fun of the people who are serious.

          The best know how to tread the line perfectly. Some say that even they don’t know if they’re serious.

    Honestly what is wrong with ‘just works’. If the policies behind the project and the security and privacy is all in place using this option is nothing wrong.

    For linux to grow it needs to be more ‘just works’. Let the complex stuff and simple stuff be there. It’s not one or the other.

      Exactly.

      When I was younger, tinkering around was a hobby in itself. But today I actually used my machine and I want it to work without hassle. I don’t want to think about swap partition sizes, modeset kernel parameters and that kind of stuff. I want a reliable tool.

      That’s why so many devs use MacBooks. They’re essentially Unix machines with a proper GUI and mostly work absolutely flawlessly.

      I’ve been using MacBooks for over ten years now and had exactly one crash: when the drive was failing so hard, it couldn’t even spin up anymore.

    Quick attack users of the most popular distro before normal people start using Linux! We can’t allow a good, stable and perfectly usable distro to get popular, we need to bully everyone back to windows or terrible things might happen like the year of they Linux desktop!!

    I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can’t convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

    My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but… no.

    I use Linux Mint because I like Mint Ice Cream

    I use Parrot in honour of my parrot Loba

    I use Ubuntu Mate because I’ve always wanted one

    I use Peppermint because it’s my favourite flavor of gum

    I use Rocky Linux because he’s my favourite American Hero

    I use fedora because I know it will come back in style

    Heh I went straight from Fedora to Debian. I’m 7 months late to this meme in true Debian fashion.

    Debian is for people who have shit to get done and don’t care about a neon colored wallpaper, mostly don’t have a wallpaper at all.
