People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).
Well, I’d like to think I’m just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian ‘cause I got sick of Windows’ shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn’t even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I’m saying. We had control.
Ah man, you toughed it out clear into XP? Win2k was the last version I ever ran here. That whole shit of “oh you inserted a USB drive, please reboot” really got on my nerves. Plus trying to write code and having Windows crash once a week.
I haven’t either. 😆 Switching to Linux solved all of those problems allowing me to run for months at a time between reboots. Of course back then things didn’t work so smoothly, and I did have some struggle getting my sound card working. These days it pretty much all just works.
Just say you run Arch and move on.

I just like my build working. What’s wrong with that?
So it took a little while before I could run stable diffusion, I can now!

I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that’s why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.

I wish I could find something to help me convert my dell laptop into a Debian device. It would be all sorts of fun.
Ive had luck with puppy on older laptops. I have one running on a 2008 machine. Works ok.
That “something” is called a USB thumb drive.
They’re pretty cheap these days.
Yes, that is how you install the OS. I meant little strangenesses found in dell hardware that I might encounter
If the laptop is older than the last release of Debian, there shouldn’t be any problems at all.

I haven’t seen a Windows BSOD in a long time on any of my systems…

Except unlike all the Linux desktop users here, I’ve run every version of Windows… even Vista was actually very stable for me.
When I’ve had problems, it was 99 percent of the time failing hardware or bad drivers…
…which I will note I have had a lot of grief with in the past on my Linux installs… nVidia… Atheros… Broadcomm…
Several times per day sometimes if you came from the Win9x line like us normies had to use and not NT.
You run Arch and move on.
I thought he was saying he’s sexually attracted to punguins…
Still waiting for a distro named “Arch btw”
I run Arch and since then moved on.

You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)
I run Arch and move on.
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.
I ran Arch and moved on
Not THAT’S a story I can FEEL. Thank you.
Well, it’s not like you lost a pen, now, is it?
Is it a Pilot G-2? 0.7mm?
btw.
Lies, you never move!
Mobility scooter. Duh.
