I find most of the defaults are fine and get the job done, but I also understand the tinkerer types who like working on a super custom setup that’s theirs.

I still use old big iron unix boxes from the 90’s, but most of the time I Install the GNU versions of stuff like ls, sed, cat etc because they are so much more feature rich (and just about any modern software/script assumes GNU versions of those tools anyway)

Are you forgetting their conservative personalities like S.E.Cup, Lou Dobbs, etc?

CNN was never lefty anyway.

Grammer Nazi’s showing up to the party to, nice

There was a saying years ago that still hold true to today - “Unix is user friendly, it’s just selective who it’s friends are”.

Years ago, I setup an SGI IRIX box for my parents to use, back when Netscape was browser king. I had it so customized for my parents that they still talk about how easy it was to use; problem for me was it took me months to figure out all the config tricks and X customizations to pull it off… Your post made me think of that lol

I know your shitposting, but I used to run into shit like this all the time back when I used to try to run Loki software games on Linux back in the day. Within 6 months all the games I had were un-fucking-runnable.

It’s still a thing now depending how crazy you want to get with your system (let’s pretend you don’t run Linux on an x86 system for example - good luck lol)

“that dev” ? Bruh…

Yeah 100%. I was just telling my friend that RIF was perfect in everyway, and they threw it away. I then explained to him it’s like using a particular version of Photoshop for a decade, then one day you walk into the office and it’s all gone - now time to use Corel Draw instead
