        People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).

            I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that’s why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.

              Well, I’d like to think I’m just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian ‘cause I got sick of Windows’ shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn’t even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I’m saying. We had control.

                Ah man, you toughed it out clear into XP? Win2k was the last version I ever ran here. That whole shit of “oh you inserted a USB drive, please reboot” really got on my nerves. Plus trying to write code and having Windows crash once a week.

                  having Windows crash once a week

                  Several times per day sometimes if you came from the Win9x line like us normies had to use and not NT.

                    Don’t forget Win3.x. I remember working on that, trying my hand at OS/2 Warp with high hopes. I never used NT, just the home version of Windows 2k, however I was already trying to move away from Microsoft at the time. I was introduced to AT&T Unix in the late 90’s with our Audix voicemail system, and learned a lot while attempting to upgrade the hardware to a more current 486 computer. I got hooked but Unix was expensive as hell, then the internet led me to Linux. My first attempts were with a version of Slackware that ran from a folder on the Windows desktop and by '99 I had my first dedicated server up and running. It wasn’t until 2006 that I finally dumped my dual-boot desktop and permanently dropped Windows.

                    I haven’t either. 😆 Switching to Linux solved all of those problems allowing me to run for months at a time between reboots. Of course back then things didn’t work so smoothly, and I did have some struggle getting my sound card working. These days it pretty much all just works.
