Religion is about shit that is not real. Linux is about good engineering and open source software.
Big fat downvote for this pathetic attempt st being provocative.
Religion is about shit that is not real
“Year of Linux on Desktop”
“Better than Windows”
“Linux is easy”
“You never need to use the terminal”
“Everything you need runs on Linux”
“Android IS Linux, therefore is the most popular OS”
Yeah, sounds like religion to me.
Except all of it is true and tested. :/
Ps: have you ever heard anyone say “Islam/Sikhism/AnyOtherReligion is easy”?
No. Because it’s a really dumb comparison.
Talking like a true believer, thank you for making my point.
Whatever you need to say to make yourself feel better.
Sure, whatever. I have no horse in this race, I just enjoy watching the meltdown over an OS.
The meltdown is over really crappy logic.
Talking like a true believer, thank you for making my point.
Remember kids, don’t hesitate to use the “elitism” card when you’re loosing an linux argument
Remember kids, don’t hesitate to use the “elitism” card when you’re loosing an linux argument
I didn’t realise it was a competition. BTW, how do someone loose an argument? By making generic points? By making it less specific?
Year of Linux on Desktop
More of a meme than anything else
Better than Windows
Well yeah, it is in almost every way.
Linux is easy
It’s not particularly hard.
You never need to use the terminal
Yeah, that’s just a lie.
Everything you need runs
Depends what you need
Android IS Linux
Well, it is.
Naw
Yea
Get gud
Terminal is the shit
Well it could, fuck adobe
Ehh no not really
Android is crap and Linux is better not mentioned together with it. I want a true Linux phone with gnome-shell as a user interface!
Sadly existing phones don’t fit in my pocket and have a very bad battery life.
StrawnmanOS released soon?
You seem like a fun person.
I am fun, just not in the presence of bs and cheap jokes.
I mean, people’s attitude towards linux here is similar to religion
This is a meme community, I’m not sure what you’re expecting.
Sure, but then your meme format isn’t reflecting that so clearly.
Nope.
The attitude here is the same as the attitude towards anything that really works and it works really well so people love to recommend it. This happens to many other things and products.
God doesn’t work. Linux does. Prayers to God are left unanswered. Prayers to Linux are accepted via well defined interfaces and answered if you have the correct permissions.
God actually does answer prayers but they get blocked by ufw
Praise be to the Omnissiah!
no, linux is the kernel. “free software” is the religion
(but seriously, theres nothing here that could be called a religion, that would be like saying d&d is a religion or a cult because a lot of people like it, or like calling any community a religion. it makes no sense)
The difference between Linux and a cult is that Linus Torvalds actually did what he said he’d do.
Even free software isn’t, because free software delivers objective, non-placebo benefits to people, whether they “practice it” or not. Even when they don’t consciously participate or are even aware of it.
yeah i put the stuff inside () because i want people to know nothing here and nothing related is a religion
If it is a religion, then it is a very fragmented one.
So, exactly like a religion.
This implies there is only one true distro and the rest are attempts to misguide you into using closed source software
(It’s void)
My brother in Christ, have you seen the history of the 3 major religions on this planet?
Do you have any idea how many denominations of Christianity there are? And most of them are open source.
Where’s the Linux orgy’s guys? Cult’s are supposed to have orgy’s.
Prepare to be disappointed. This is how Linux disciples have sex (SFW).
Stop it! I can only get so hard!
🥵
You have to become a 4th level sysadmin, and donate at least 3 accepted PR to the kernel in chief in order to get an invite
The true cultists are emacs users…and we keep getting stronger.
We belive in St. IGNUcious!
VIM forever! Emacs is blasphemy!
Have you heard of evil-mode?
I hadn’t. That is awesome.
Holy crap that’s actually a fantastic image in my head…
Some people would think it’s a religion cause linux isn’t a household name.

Torvold’s is still alive right?
Cults are religions whose founders are still alive.
Not rather Richard Stallman (if we’re not talking about the kernel)?
And Stallman took skin from his foot, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’
He’s the one who was prophesized in the GNU testament.
Okay, so we have two prophets. Unconventional, I know, but I think you can see the advantages. For example, vacations in aruba.
The Linux source, coc and governance continues to be improved upon, while the religious scripture and institutions mainly stay fixed
Debian stable
Does using Linux, Windows, and MacOS simultaneously make me some kind of faith-exploring pilgrim?
Need to replace the cross with Tux.
hides
There is no hiding from the Emperor, for His light reaches all!
So which OS is which religion? Right now I’m thinking unix=Judaism (older, predecessor to newer oses), linux=Christianity (distros=demominations, roots in unix.), macos=Islam(jobs is their prophet, roots in unix). Not sure about Windows. I guess maybe it could be Christianity and Linux Hindu or Buddhist…
Windows can’t be Christianity, it’s not fragmented enough. It’s either Scientology because it’s tightly controlled and without meaningful denominations. Or Buddhism from a very western point of view (i.e. oblivious to the denominations and local variations).
Scientology because it saps your money.
It’s the filthy Arch heretics that are a cult! All true believers use Mint!
Repent heretic! Return to your roots and embrace Debian!
The New Covenant supersedes the Old Covenant!
Nonsense!
It’s no wonder you wish to forget about the past when your covenant is the offspring of those who consort with demons. Repent, and be granted the Emperor’s mercy!
If Good didn’t want us to consort with demons, why did he make them so damn sexy?
Thy shalt burn in the pits of damnation for calling Microsoft sexy!
No thanks, Mint is a great distro for beginners only
Oh come on! At least call me an unwashed peasant or something! How are we going to get a holy war going with that attitude?
All seriosuness, mint is honestly a good distro even for power users, i installed it on an ssd and used it on a pc a cobled together from parts i had lying around while my main pc was out of state (i left it behind at school for winter break) and i was surprised to find that it was about as easy to work on as arch or debian from a clean install
It sure is. Was the perfect distro for me to dip my toes in the water. It’s been 2 months and I’m learning a lot and having way more fun with my computer than I ever have.
If Linux is a religion like Christianity then I expect Jesus to appear in front of me right now and double my fishes.
Linux works, Christianity does not.
Replace Bash with Fish. Open two terminals.
echo “Check mate”.
mate
fish: mate not found 😔
I feel like ideology is more accurate, but alright
I used the word philosophy, but yes. I think that’s a more appropriate word than religion/cult.
A religion is just a cult with more followers.
Then what does that make Linux?
Oh wait…
