My dad got me a Linux laptop as a kid (I was 10 I think?), and I am so grateful that he did.

To be fair, I already had a huge passion for computing, and it meant that I would constantly toy around with Linux, breaking things and learning how to fix them.

I have been a Linux user ever since, and I feel have learnt so much about computing because of it.

(I started on Ubuntu 12.04, with the glorious Unity desktop)

tbh i dont think i’ve ever needed w3schools, mdn has always been plenty for me.

Do you know why there’s KDE, XFCE and others? Because there’s also a lot of people who dislike GNOME.

If we are getting pedantic here, the above quote is clearly implying that alternatives exist and are actively developed because people dislike GNOME. Your statement does not take in to account the possibility that people just like the other alternatives, and may still like GNOME as well, or feel indifference towards it.

No one is claiming that GNOME has the superior desktop experience. Rather, GNOME has a more opinionated experience, that suits some people, and not others. For some people, it will be superior. For others, they will prefer KDE, XFCE etc.

Umm well akshually 🤓👆: KDE doesn’t exist because people don’t like GNOME lol. GNOME was made because KDE uses QT, which used to be proprietary.

Ha yeah sure. Haven’t used Gnome in over 3 years, daily drive KDE. Just happen to not be 12.

This is honestly really sad. I really don’t get the hostility towards Gnome and it’s devs.

Gnome is certainly quite opinionated, and isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but this doesn’t make it ok for memes like this (a pretty shit meme regardless).

Gnome has done a lot for the linux ecosystem, and Gnome developers don’t owe you anything.

Grow up.

I’m number 11.

Display managers usually let you choose the DE when you log in.

I think usually if you use 1 DE per user, it works out fine.

Shut up and take my money!

No, Gems have their own versions.

The ones by DaFaq!Boom are the good ones. As per usual, with any popular trend, there will be a bunch of copycat videos of varying quality / sanity.

Skibidi toilet is unironically so great. I would much prefer kids to be influenced by it, rather than Elsa pregnancy videos, and fucking finger families.

Me: comes all over as well.

Is it a problem that my brain automatically played a vine thud to accomodate this image?

Thus marking the 30th year of the linux desktop.

Lemmings need it after all those beans.
