"I use Gentoo sir and my DE is i3, I brought my dotfiles if you would like to see them"
"Son, it's great to have you here. HONEY IM TAKING STEVE TO THE OFFICE!"
I3 ??!!!??111 That’s bloatware OUT OF MY HOUSE
Any gui rendering is bloat
Really, the metric we should be looking at is (f+a)/b where f is some subjective weighted measure of functionality, a of aesthetic value and b describes the bloat.
No, (f+(0.5*a))/b.
Aesthetics should never get as many points as functionality.
a is a subjective measure of aesthetic value - as it must be, since taste is a subjective thing - you might as well include the factor already.a is normalised against some fixed scale, but bloat (having effectively no upper limit) is impossible to normalise, it would be more reasonable to increase f instead in order to model the fact that a larger distro may also come with more functionality.0.5*aPfft, Linux users don't date. We're all virginal, paranoid shut-ins.
The trick is securing a marriage before using Linux, if try the other way around it doesn't work.
Shortly after getting my steam deck and seriously learning Linux past tiny personal servers, I got divorced
I know correlation ≠ causation, but I really want to believe your relationship was ruined because your wife was sneaking out in the middle of the night to use Windows
I don't know. I'm pretty sure one of the many ways you can end a marriage is installing Gentoo and saying "I'm just gonna go and compile my kernel." to your significant other, then go to your computer and just never be heard from again.
A lot of us are also disaster trans lesbians :3
I don't date because women are proprietary.
You can share them with the community, but you can't modify and use them in any way you like.
I dated and married.
I love the story of how I met my now-wife. It was on IRC. When I was trying to start to meet women, I never would have guessed that that would be how I met my future wife.
Yeah, ikr? My wife won't even bang me, and I'm fairly sure it's part of a global conspiracy to make my balls explode
i have the same situation. i figured i could have sex with someone else then, but other women seem to also know i use linux because nobody else will bang me either. and i doubt it's my looks, mom says i'm handsome, so it has to be the linux stuff.
sudo touch wife
southsamurai isn't in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
you there, what distro do you use?
distro? why it's arch linux, sir
"Run and buy that turkey in the shop window and I'll give you a shilling!"
"For what reason do you want a turkey on your Arch Linux, sir?"
For a while the deepin desktop's looked pretty cool. It got old quickly though and it doesn't seem like they are innovating as much.
First time seeing hate for deepin. What's wrong with it?
It’s by a Chinese company, and collects telemetry on its users via Umeng+, which is a Beijing-based analytics company. Even though it’s open source, the code is large enough that it’s hard to tell if there is anythinf compromising in there from the Chinese government, and/or whether/what data collected by Umeng+ is making it to the Chinese government.
So I guess the backdoor is buried DeepIn the code
It's unfortunate, because I really like the DE. Real stand out. If it were more trustworthy, it'd be my first choice.

Western concerns about connections to Chinese government
Radware's head of threat research has commented on concerns about analytics collected by Deepin, and whether these are sent to the Chinese government: while the CNZZ analytics service has been removed, analytics are still collected, now by "Umeng+".[29] According to cybersecurity lawyer Steven T. Snyder, due to the sheer size of Deepin's codebase, it is impossible to really scrutinize all the code comprising it to be sure the Chinese government doesn't have backdoors.[29] The project does remain fully open source allowing anyone to review, modify or change the code to meet their standards.
due to the sheer size of [the] codebase, it's impossible [...] to be sure [it] doesn't have backdoors.
Meanwhile Linux and systemd
I use Arch btw
Get back to me when you use a real distro, the Hannah Montana distro is the one true distro.
Nah, TempleOS.
I just continuously google "how to reinstall grub", never get a chance to login
Please explain this for a DOS/Windows user?
Windows? You have exactly 10 seconds to get the hell out of my house!
I mean, I dual-boot Mint now. And at least you don't come after me for DOS, because that would get me defensive..
it's a Chinese distro that looks very pretty but pays a heavy performance penalty
OK, you have 20 seconds
Deepin is a desktop environment (windows is the desktop environment for the “windows” os) deepin runs on Linux. There are other desktop environments like gnome and kde. Which are open source. Deepin is a Chinese gov de
Distroverts.
