Given that you've posted the same question on YT are you evaluating the effectiveness of giving people permission for some friendly trolling as a tactic for gaming engagement or am I just over-thinking it?

@prlzx No I'm just farming you for content

@BrodieOnLinux Linux (and not just the kernel) is almost all corporation, and the independent stuff is used as free work for corporation

And people seems fine with it...

I use Artix Linux as my daily driver, which is basically just Arch Linux but without systemd. But I don't hate systemd tho, in fact I'm one of the developers of TROMjaro - a linux distro based on Manjaro. Oh yes, we forked Manjaro everyone! 😁 Here is the website - https://www.tromjaro.com

@BrodieOnLinux there’s no decent IDE nor email client on Linux

BrodieOnLinux, 6 days ago

@akinzekeel Which IDE do you use, basically everything is available on Linux minus Visual Studio

@BrodieOnLinux
When someone says that window managers are inherently superior to desktop environments (as a blanket statement)

• or that WMs are some kind of natural progression for advanced users while only beginners stay with DEs.

But then spend hours trying to recreate types of functionality that already just work automatically and integrated well in the DE that they were mocking.

@prlzx @BrodieOnLinux I don't use a WM, but you're missing the point of them: tiling

@BrodieOnLinux systemd and wayland are necessary and good.

TheFrenchGhosty, 9 days ago

@benny @BrodieOnLinux both are wrong or at most, half truth

@BrodieOnLinux Linux users are just as ignorant as Windows users, they choose to ignore their pain

@BrodieOnLinux Oh, here's another:

Unixporn is just a collection of people who really, really, wish they were using MacOS.

joshix, 10 days ago

@thelinuxcast @BrodieOnLinux many of them use tiling window managers. How would that work on mac?

BrodieOnLinux, 10 days ago

@joshix @thelinuxcast Well you could use https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai or https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst

thelinuxcast, 10 days ago

@BrodieOnLinux @joshix And I was mostly talking about the folks who post their screenies that look like replicas of MacOS. Like this one.

@thelinuxcast @BrodieOnLinux I don't necessarily wish I was using MacOS, however I can admit that MacOS has a very appealing design language that I have tried to imitate before

@BrodieOnLinux Nobody actually likes Gnome, they're just too lazy to configure KDE.

@thelinuxcast @BrodieOnLinux personally, for some reason I'm deeply afraid that changing my DE will break something in my OS. I never figured what things are dependent on the DE to work.
On the other hand, since I use Pop OS, I'll get COSMIC sometime this year
