Ayy bb u up?
Have you heard of Gentoo?
well duh. windows is the default everyone uses, no one needs to recommend it.
linux on the other hand is an obscure choice that may be better for that use case and may not be known.
This meme is older than Windows 11
This meme is older than windows 8
Don’t be so certain - I’d recommend Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IoT over Windows 11 any day
You can’t get IOT as a consumer
Not with that attitude.
Not legally
Wouldn’t be the first dubiously legal copy of Windows I have.
I get these prompts on my work laptop and always go for 1. Nobody who uses your os just for work, want to get bombarded with these kind of requests
Windows user:
*Complaining about ads on their desktop
Me, a linux enjoyer:
*inhales*
Linux user complaining about having to add repositories manually in order to get a piece of software to update or to add a tool they need.
Me as an any operating system user. Both have draw backs that aren’t for normal people.
Adding repos is a one time thing that takes like 10 minutes tbf. And even then there are gui tools for that funny enough.
Ten minutes? What are you doing for the other eight? Basking in the warmth of a job well done?
I use EndeavorOS which draws from Arch repositories including AUR. I’ve never once had to manually add a repository.
Not knocking you but there is also a reason the “I use Arch memes” exist.
Cool. Don’t care… Just pointing out that the person is wrong.
Because we want everyone to know how SUPERIOR arch (and derivates distro) is so they can get in the fun? 😁 /j
Don’t arch users also hate the derivatives?
Most Arch users don’t actually use Arch because it doesn’t have a GUI installer.
Oh god
I’m going to argue that it’s very unlikely any of those people are friends or colleagues. It didn’t ask if you recommend Windows on social media or forums.
We’re not friends? 🥺
Sry, who dis?
Betrayal.
Given your name, I think it’s for the best.
Hey! How dare you discriminate against me for my job! MODS!!! SIEZE THEM
Not to mention your sexuality!! Hey everyone! We got an ace-phobe over here!
are those real? I don’t believe anyone ever said “it’s like linux but it works.”
it does work though, on windows i can see ads and intrusive crap all the time. Linux distros don’t bother you at all, it’s like linux is not even trying at this point.
Ubuntu used to do ads pretty well, even before microsoft got better at them, haven’t used that distro in a while, so can’t confirm if that’s the case still, but you might want to check it out.
This makes me want to make a Linux addon just for ads
Like make it entirely transparent Download this is you miss having ads lol
don’t forget to activate your linux distro
That’s 100% someone trolling Linux users.
Best use of that image I’ve ever seen
I would always start all conversations with my friends with “Hey Windows peasants!” If I had any friends. These two things have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.
Now that I think about it, that original meme was not true either. My friends always argued about windows vs. Mac, and continued to Android vs. iPhone
Like, people talk about OSes in general conversation
If we claim we are recommending distros do we escape on a technicality?
The distro IS the OS, so no.
The word distro is a commonly used for Linux distros, where the OS is Linux, I would say.
The kernel is linux. From wikipedia: An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
Linux being designed to work with so many things (and so many things designed to work with linux) all combined make the OS. This is also where the famous quote comes from. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
unironically: most distros are actually mostly gnu, just with a linux kernel. bit annoyed when people just call it “linux”
I wouldn’t say the OS is Linux any more than the OS of an Apple computer is XNU. Linux is just the kernel. Similarly the other OS isn’t “Windows NT kernel,” but Windows 10 or Windows 11.
After the latest bullshit from Microsoft I would make absolutely sure to recommend literally anything but Windows to everyone that talks to me.
After the latest bullshit from Microsoft
I like how your comment works regardless of whether you consider “latest” to be the past year or the past decade lol.
Fair point. I haven’t used Windows for almost a decade, so maybe a bit of a, a bit of b?
I swear Linux users are borderline jehovah’s witnesses going door to door
hey!.. We’re clearly tech vegans
Isn’t cruelty against animals - specifically one self - a key part of the Linux learning journey?
Cruelty to oneself is part of the Arch journey.
Life is suffering. Once you accept that fact wholly, you may ascend
I would recommend this though https://mspoweruser.com/windows-12-lite-is-here-and-it-doesnt-have-any-built-in-ads/
I met a vegan who uses vim and arch linux. I’m that guy. I use vim and arch linux, and I’m a vegan.
I someday hope to meet myself again.
omg bestie
Why don’t you use emacs? You can replace Linux with it and use it to start vim!
Your personal choices are offending me.
Have you considered CrossFit?
Maybe they cook only with an air fryer.
Why is your username blue?
Edit: sorry. You’re OP
The Holy Trifecta!

You people are coordinated in your recommendations. You are more efficient than the KGB
It might look like that when the topic is Linux vs windows, but if you ever wanna see that coordination fall apart just ask “which distro?”
…Ubuntu.
*linux mint
Definitely start with a nice beginner friendly distro, like Gentoo, NixOS, or LFS.
Lol evil
