ok, I really didn’t know when I made this comment, but I’m pretty sure it’s project manager and no one said it outright so here

Preventative maintenance? Post moderator? Pickup mailman?

Prime Minister? Prime meridian? Protocol maintainer?

After further review, I respect this greatly :D

You’re not wrong, but …jesus what is that homeserver? I’m gonna go clean the coffee off my monitor now

You… You wouldn’t actually do this, would you?

This is a messed up meme 😂 When I first into’d ubuntu, I really thought I was big-brained for choosing LTS over the more current release. Mentors are so much more important than you’d think when you’re 14ish

Wait I’m confused, did OP invert it or did you?

Bmarked. Many thanks for the assurance and insight. Prolly best comment I’ve ever gotten on the fediworld

I said the same about ubuntu, debian, then arch. I believed arch and it’s wikis/docs were the endgame. I stayed arching through college ( thought endeavorOS was arch meme for awhile, because why would you want an easier arch install? Turns out, college professors are incorrigible to a maddening degree, and finding so many linux workarounds got me in all types of trouble I didn’t fully understand yet–better wipe and reset for sanity sake…again)

tl;dr I thought all non-windows were jokes before I found precisely what I was looking for all along.

EDIT: tldr itself reads like a joke, I’m just saying I thought almost all distros were a joke until I felt something better was missing–gentoo is where I’ve been for about a decade now. I’m quite worried nix or guix is the joke I will be maining in the future, but I don’t seem to need any of it’s features just yet, but who knows. I’m willing to be persuaded because of how wrong I’ve been…hell might get a comment today opens my eyes to the declarative life any minute now lol

No pain, no gain.😝

Ohhh, so it’s old but also best by test, this makes it pretty cool then

But if it’s just an old api, why is it still in the spotlight? I understand compatibility is important, but I’m almost never hearing half as much about any of the other old apis–can’t even really think of one either

I’ve been too scared to ask for a really long time
What’s the big deal with POSIX? Why are ppl constantly discussing what is and isn’t posix compliant? Is it just funny or am I missing something important?

Frustration is a natural part of learning; ignorance is bliss

I’m confused. I also have many hobbies. That’s what compile time is for–big compiles are started just before bed time. Gentoo stays out of your way and gives you more freedom. I concede that I may just be lucky at not having any useflag issues in many years. But I also learned a lot from the first few I stumbled into. It’s this quality of learning I can’t find in any other distro.

I love all non-windows OS tho

The beauty is that you never fully install the Gentoo you want. It’s about the journey and the friends we make along the way, not the destination.

Install Gen2

I somehow added an i there and was a little too excited to comment ‘Yes, who doesn’t love trains!?!?’

What? Why does this meme say it’s not compatible with anything then? Did I get trolled?
