Stand down soldiers! Heβs one of us!
I thought I heard you saying you were using windows :P
Have you switched recently?
I am using Windows for some games π
Oh no, I've been running this OS as long as I've been on Lemmy (though I might have switched at some point early after June 2023, I don't remember exactly)
Alright fine you're in the clear. You're making a reasonable compromise.
Feel free to also edit the title to say that I actually am, rumors got fast around here π
For sure! I have updated the title!
Thanks, now the Linux ninjas can go back home and let me post on Lemmy in peace π
It's not so easy. Once the Linux ninjas have been unleashed, they cannot return home without spilling blood.

openSUSE? more like openSUS. AAAAHHHH
we can fix them. we can make them better. if shadow can be redeemed, so can blaze
The pressure campaign is on! If he can convince others to use Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed then we can pressure him into using GNU/Linux π
Fedi s a pipeline for Linux once you realize why fedi makes sense, then Linux becomes the obvious choice for a lot of people who are not tied to windows or macos ecosystem
Foss life is a great.
Can confirm, Lemmy was what finally got me to go Linux full-time and delete my Windows partition almost 2 years ago. It also really turned me on to self-hosting.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
