Exactly, linux mint supremacy
cough debian edition cough
Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.
Because they can’t handle the templeOS supremacy
All praise temple OS the holiest of the holy.
Curse USB and networking, purge that unclean heresy from your computing! Embrace the third temple!
It’s (usually) all in good fun.
Anyway, we can’t talk shit to anyone except each-other. No one else understands our jargon.
Why can’t everyone just use the distro that is right for them, which is Arch?
Closest thing a lot of us have to team sports
Because the ubuntu edition is just sypware (thanks canonical). Linux is great, but their are good and bad choices to be made
Can you tell me more about Canonical spyware?
Its pretty well captured through this post:
I don’t have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian
That wasn’t specifically Debian
it ended up in a few different repos but was caught by someone using Debian Testing
Because it’s fun. Also, it lets discussion happen about the flaws and benefits of a distro. at the end of the day very few people are super serious about it.
because it can be fun, you emacs user :D
just like cheering for $sportsballteam
all i want it linux mint devuan edition
On the server…? Isn’t RHEL used primarily on servers?
Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.
Almost exclusively.
There’s desktop RHEL, we used to run a CAD software on RHEL or SUSE
I know there is. It’s just very seldomly used.
It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.
I’m not even talking just home use. I actually work for Red Hat. Granted I work in the public sector so what I see might be skewed, but I rarely ever see anyone use the desktop version.
Yeah, I’m sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I’m on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff
checks out.
That signature is crazy, it looks like they have like ten underscores as part of their last name
he was fun to watch, cli on an overhead. after a few years constantly signing things it becomes a time waster writing out each letter. my full signature is 23 letters. no readable letters since army. kids can’t read cursive anymore.
How do you get that? Is there a quizz and do you get the hat?
some professor gave me a windup bauble walking hat.
desk junk pile
favorite wall cartoon around same cubical;
Yeah, redhat does certifications. Unfortunately you don’t get a hat afaik :(
Its a ton of work, like years and years of study and tests.
maybe from scratch. i started on Slackware in 1995 and had experience. this was a week class in a hotel conference room.
spent about a week listening to this guy talk. test day given a junk, blank x86 machine, install media and a list of services to setup with about 4 hours to complete. pro tip, learn to install rhel with no gui bloat. machine was so slow i spent half the time waiting for slow hardware, cdrom to hdd copy. checked it from his laptop. got results emailed. was relieved i somehow passed. don’t remember what it cost. employer paid. knew how beforehand. some people got done hours before me. no hat
scrutiny intensifies
Tbf, being a certified hatred engineer sounds pretty badass, if not necessarily admirable 😁
is centos still around? jumped on ubuntu to escape rpm corruption. don’t care to know anymore. shutdown -h now; not in the menu? wtf
Centos exists as centos stream, which serves as upstream to RHEL and is downstream from fedora. For something like old centos, theres rocky
it’s still “around” but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM’s purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i’m sure if you installed it you’d find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you’d hit something that made you go “hey wait”
replaced an IBM mainframe with a rack of linux DB2 and app servers. they wanted a cert to keep legal happy. a week paid vacation for the cert.
Didn’t notice the community, came here hoping for a RHEL shitpost.
Got confused when there was only RHEL shitposts.
Hatred Enterprise Linux being marketed to the US gov
They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.
Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you’re a danger to the system.
no you are confusing that with hatED which is the new redhat AI enabled text editor
Ah. So Ubuntu
just remember redhat is also at fault for pulseaudio and systemd xD
Kanye No: Red Hat
Kanye Yes: Red Hat Linux
I don’t think even England wants Kings
Yeah Lizzy was ok (still monarch and all that but she was like our collective grandma) but this new one is kinda bad imo.
“You’re not my real grandad” vibes
There’s no way to fact check OPs post, as they also post AI images.
Good thing Hatred doesn’t spell Fedora
An anagram of Fedora, however, is Ford EA, two awful companies.
One of which was founded by a fascist, the other mainly existing to perfect enshittification of computer games.
Not me, I use Arch.
;)
I, as a Debian boy, respect Arch as a fellow community-held distro.
Waka waka!
Red Hat / IBM have contracts with the Israeli military so yes
I’m okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.
You can’t spell Methwhore without mother
oh goodie, politics in my linux feed
What is even meant by “king”? What’s the definition?
In this case, they’re referring to the old-fashioned autocratic rulers of absolute monarchies, rather than the otherwise relatively harmless figureheads that constitutional monarchies bafflingly insist on still wasting vast resources on in 2026.
Authoritarianism - it doesn’t roll of the tongue though as you can see
Author
Oh so you’re telling me a king wrote this book? (/hj)
Ruler of a region.
hmm yeah i was asking because in the context of these protests, it’s important to understand precisely what is actually protested against, just for the sake of making more efficient analysis and decisions.
i think they’re talking about a leader snatching up power to make themselves an all-powerful ruler. where the power comes not from a mandate of the masses but from
a wet tart throwing a sword at youabsolute authority.hmm ok so it’s about the rule of the law that people want upheld.
yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.
People think the current us administration is doing a lot of awful things to a lot of people buts it’s worse that they hold themselves above the law to do it, above the limits of their power, above the checks and balances that usually prevent authoritarianism
Among the many bad stereotypes of royalty is the blatant nepotism, self-enrichment, and total disregard for their constituents. Somehow they have no shame in accepting bribes, do not even try to hide it, and no shame using their authority to establish business “deals@ for family and friends
Leadership by patriarchal lineage.
Not necessarily. Plenty of kings were elected by the nobility.
yeah german had that concept by the way. it’s interesting to look at history and how stuff was done in earlier times
germany at some time had a king that was elected by the 7 most influential local landlords. they met and elected a king.
Yeah, people often forget that most regents were at least to some extent elected. If the nobility/rich landowners didn’t want a specific regent then they were thrown out and a new one was found. Usually within the same line, though. A regent rarely had absolute power. For example Denmark has had a monarchy for over 1000 years but less than 200 of those were an actual absolute monarchy. Most of the time the regent was put in check by the nobility/landowners and the church etc.
It didn’t help their cause when they coincidentally came out with the “Fascist Fedora” release, and they had to decide to stop naming their releases after types of governments.
What?
Honestly, it’s a little weird that people can’t identify such obvious shitposting in a meme community. This is the second time it’s happened in two weeks.
What are you talking about Fascist Fedora? Everyone else seems to be having fun with the post because it is a shitpost.
You don’t understand the humor of hearing about something that seems to be a coincidence, and then hearing a separate example that is overtly terrible in the same way?
No, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’ve engaged in this for too long already if you’re not going to explain whatever the heck you were talking about. I think you’re also getting downvotes because others don’t know what you’re talking about either.
I literally just explained it to you. I’m not being cagey. I think you must be used to not getting jokes, so I’m not sure why you’re blaming me.
I would say based on the votes nobody knows what you’re talking about. But yeah, go ahead and be condescending for some reason. Enjoy it I guess.
what are you saying, what are you talking about? it feels like you’re making reference to something which seems obvious to you but the rest of us don’t know what you’re referring
Okay, I’ll explain it to you, but only if you play along.
Explain to me what is the purpose of OP’s post, with the protest sign at the no kings protest.
- bring attention to that people on lemmy are participating in No Kings
- draw a connection between the Red Hats and RedHat
personally i’d not have made the association joke since IBM, the RedHat corporation’s parent company is genuinely participatory in both the Latin/Indigenous American genocide and Israel’s genocide against muslims in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and other nearby nations, not to mention RedHat themselves have been exploiting people’s labor in North Carolina and haven’t done hardly anything to help the neighboring communities around their offices in Charlotte and Ashville, but i don’t expect most people shitposting about Linux on Lemmy to be keyed into the real world impacts the RedHat corporation has on my friends and neighbors
