This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's funny how many "Linux bad" memes seem to think everything's done through the CLI
It's funny how linux users can't scroll past a Linux bad meme without achtuallying
Name something you care about. Now be honest: do you scroll past everything that spreads misinformation about that thing?
True, if there was a post on greentext declaring that your mother hates butt sex, I would feel the need to step in to correct that.
Yeah... Except it kind of is. The moment you want to do something slightly off the beaten path you're stuck using CLI. Linux isn't bad but I wish people were more honest about the experience, lol.
No more so than modern Windows.
Powershell commands to allow you to even make an account
Powershell commands to remove the spyware
Powershell commands to remove gamebar bloatware
Powershell commands to activate windows
etc, etc.
Absolutely more so than modern windows, problem is, linuxes "beaten path" is shoulder length to either side, windows has an almost two lane highway before you get there
windows is shoulder length too, its just that when you go off the beaten path on linux you have to walk through grass, and perhaps far enough dense trees, while windows is a shoulder length bridge where you have to invent flight to go past the sides
batch is crawling on top of the railings, vbscript is hanging off of them, and regedit is just jumping off
This is exactly how you use leenux
what shell uses a > as default PS1? csh?
Grub
poor anon
If I could figure it out as a non English speaking 9yo back in 1987, you can too Anon. I believe in you!
This is the best out of your ass lie I've seen today.
I just wrote startx back in the day :-)
