Why not use an OS that is silent by default instead of having to use wireshark (which doesn't even work as good on Windows)

This, mainly.

What release, out of any Linux distribution was your favorite release this decade?

Just make it Tux

I think it should just be Tux

>>72784633
Agreed. Maybe just a picture of Tux would be cool

At what age did you grow out of Linux, /g/?

i HATE the phrase "userland" there i said it fuck you all for popularizing it computers should be hard enough to use that no "userland" shoulpd exist

i had to use an older installed kernel in ubuntu because the newest one messed up my screen resolution. can i keep on using the older kernel forever or will i be unable to upgrade software?

HA! no.

the drive was heavily encrypted to begin with. this is just a test wipe. I suspect the drive has power issues. it keeps dropping offline once or twice a day. If it doesn't this time, then it was probably kernel related.

I've been using Linux for a short time before, but I don't remember anything by now, so I'm looking for accessible distro for a totally newbie. Any suggestions with which one should I start?

Gonna do a fresh os install on my desktop, need help deciding between Fedora and Debian. I'm going to use it for programming, general school stuff, and torrenting. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it my DE? I use KDE. My shitty Ubuntu distro?

Ubuntu
Xfce

What's the point?

How do I into Linux as a complete noob?

Do you actually use your lunux to get work done?

Or for atleast somewhat productive purposes, even simple things such as web browsing, checking email and media or do you just waste your time distro hopping and ricing your desktop to unusable states, and bragging about having the latest software packages you don't even use.

Lunux is too much of a hobbyist OS for man children.

I understand why there's a ton of developers who don't give a fuck about Mac (it's a dying platform with a irrelevant userbase) but why exactly would someone give a fuck about developing for Linux?

Developing for Linux must be hell on earth.

Is Linux a good operating system if so why?
