Dang it, you gotta come in here and tempt me to distrohop… That’s a dang attractive choice.

Debian with the mint UI. All of the debian memes, but none of the UI headaches!

Yo mama so dumb she stores all her archives as exFAT.

Hey guys I found the pig!

It’s got good hardware, but there’s nothing being done with that hardware. The pricepoint kept there from being any broad dev support, so its basically a gimmicky paperweight that costs $3500. At least Microsoft will directly work with industry partners for Hololens development, but there’s nothing like that with Apple to help pave over the notoriously rough super-early adoption era.

alabama’s rep so bad there are more people that know they fuck their cousins than there are people who know where alabama even is.

Oh hush, thats a whattaboutism and you know it.

I gotta say, going into the new years, I quite respect your dedication to this.

Yeah the Church-Turing thesis holds that you can run an LLM on a casio wrist watch (if for some reason you wanted to do that). I can’t imagine this is exactly what you’d call ‘good’…

… “no u”?

Seriously though, cliche flaming aside, why did you come into this with such hostility? The initial poster was just talking about a situation where ubuntu is clearly the preferable option - installing an OS with the minimum of time invested. What does it accomplish, coming in and talking at length about why actually Arch is the best choice in this case but only if you’re skilled enough? The initial call out for elitism wasn’t based on it being about Arch, though Arch very much attracts people who say things like this, it’s based on you quite literally derailing the conversation to talk about how good you are with the software. I doubt you intended it to be interpreted like that, but it comes across so smug and self-centered that it’s almost painful to read. That is the introspection I was hoping for, that your comments are not read in the manner you intend.

I suppose hoping for introspection was a tad foolish on my part. Ah well.

This guy uses arch btw.

No seriously, there’s plenty of arch elitism in this thread alone, And other distros too. You really don’t need to be preemptively defensive about it though.

idk man I’ve been using linux since before we began recording the passage of time and automated installers are, you know… fine? There can be issues, sure, but its pretty damn rare on modern hardware that they aren’t the result of a config issue which can be sorted out in the bios (or similar). This is the Arch elitism that everyone complains about; just because something is easy doesn’t mean that it’s somehow bad.

I’ll be honest, it’s a little hard to take your conviction to this holy crusade against the oh-so-predictable masses seriously when you can’t even get the name right. Like I get it, I’m harping on what may have been a typo and that’s possibly below the belt, but you gotta see how that looks. The superiority falls flat when you couch it in terms you have a surface level understanding of.

Edit: womp womp. <3 mods.

Do… you mean Lorenzian? Lorentz was the physicist, Lorenz was the behavioral psychologist.

Are you really doing this? Is this really how you’re trying to distract yourself? Have some self respect, come on. If not for the fact you’re a racist, then at least because you’re capable of being a much better troll than this.

Or maybe you’re just not very good at this…

Oh, you’re doubling down. Again. Dude, I pointed out your racism like six hours ago. Just… just stop. This is embarrassing to watch. You know you’re better than this.

It’s a better attempt sure, but it’s mainly still just doubling down. Points though, embracing and then extending criticism to signal that you consider it beneath you (or that it’s so absurd as to be worthy of satire) is a classic move for a reason, ya racist little scamp.
