1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    This meme is old enough to drink.

    [–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 45 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

    Not exclusively, but yes. I feel called out.

    I was curious so I checked.

    Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.

    MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.

    Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.

    It's almost too old for Leo to date.

    MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

    And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I'm going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

    I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load

    I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

    [–] IllNess@infosec.pub 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

    Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

    What is OpenCore?

    I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.

    This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.

    [–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.

    [–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era

    This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

    I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.

    Take that, flow chart!

    [–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

    2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux

    I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.

    [–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.

    One does not simply install windows. It comes preinstalled

    Wait I'm an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?

    [–] palordrolap@kbin.run 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.

    I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.

    Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.

    I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.

    The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.

    [–] superterran@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram

    So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.

    [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    At least Mac is genuinely UNIX. πŸ™ƒ

    I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update

    [–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    But I can't afford a Mac :(
