Now days no need for that unless using arch Linux

Gentoo is the best Linux
poanyc
or Gentoo.

not really that fucking hard either

It says I'm missing gcc right off the bat and I don't have root access.

Linux still exists? And people use it? TIL we never left the 90s.
Novawitch
Nah.... Just use Yum to update it.
fockincats
Wait, there are people who actually think manually making partitions is hard?

Debian forks are so pretty laid out like that
SuperFuzzyNipples
Compile failed due to incompatible pan
You rarely NEED to compile on Arch...not to mention it's easy as hell with mkinitcpio.

Alternatively, you get to see all the ingredients so you know that a big corporation didn't decide to jack off into it.
"yum install cake" OMG SO FUCKING HARD IM HACKERMAN
Install failed. Only root users can install. Gotta sudo bang bang that shit now
I can't type sudo, it's too advanced and isn't an english word. Fuck it all I'm going back to windows 10
BozoThePie
but I don't know how to install facebook on the lee-nooks! it's so confusing!

The cake is a lie
I recommend this page for anyone that is new to Linux and wants to try it. http://distrowatch.com/

Send Bungie a plain white cake without icing or toppings.

I prefer this version:

You misspelled IKEA

I always compile a custom kernal

The only reason to use Linux is so you can brag about using Linux. It's like opposite of fight club.
JHawke
It's free, does everything I need it to. Windows is paid, and does not.
GodOfTheBumbleBees
... So, do you have an Apple or a Windows smartphone?
DiscoPhysicist
./configure; ./make all; ./make install
MagicalScientist
Or any distro if you're trying to install software that the creator didn't compile...

But at least we can make the cake as we want. Dont have to stick with premade apple cakes in the windows ;)
Rhisereld
Yeah, but it also means I have to go through the trouble of obtaining a mixing bowl, oven, mixing spoon, etc. when all I wanted was a cake.
galvertez
interestingly, it is easier to put the window in the apple given the context.
You mean pie. Mmmhm. Yeah, I love pie.
flawlesssoul
Most things go with apple pie, too, with very little effort.
No, I wanna make an apple cake
Please save me a piece when you do.
purebordem
How long do you intend to support that recipe on GitHub? I'll probably find it 3 years after you do and try in vain to recreate it.
Ha!
Corona688
The recipe will still be fine, if you delete all the automake garbage.

Wait a minute. Ikea and Linux were both created by Swedes, right? Is there a built-it-yourself subculture over there or something?
whatsisname
Torvalds is Finnish.
Is he? Damn. There goes that theory. Is it a Scandanavian thing, then?
HateMeFuckYou
Creative? It's a reused Ikea meme. Probably a repost from goodwill.
NotAmused1001
You think someone would do that? Reuse a meme?
Not even two weeks old of a repost
Rektastic
and repoststatistics came by earlier, this isn't even his own meme anyways

I learned mostly from CentOS. Going from that to Ubuntu was a little annoying... A bunch of slightly different commands. I prefer Red Hat.
CentOS is non-commercial Red Hat.
I know. My point is that vs Debian-based systems, I got used to RH-based, so I prefer that more.
Everyone has their preferred flavors. I still much prefer apt to yum or pacman etc mostly because I started with mostly debian based.
insegrevious
dnf will consume us all
Haven't played with fedora in years... is it more user friendly than yum?
Also centOS always felt clunky to me
FFFFFFFANNNY
O butter... can someone help me compile with margarine?
Did you even read the man pages?
haahah, thats usually the start of a flllammmeeinnng.
thevortexmaster
I don't even know what Linux is
It's an operating system (like Windows or OSX or iOS or Android) on which you can manipulate documents and run apps but most versions are $0
It's very much not like Windows, OSX, IOS, or Android. Android's practically linux in name only these days.
You misunderstood. I was enumerating those things because they're also operating systems, in case the one asking the question didn't know1/2
what an operating system was. 2/2
Plus OSX is a lot more like Linux now that it's UNIX like. Still worlds different than Windows though
Free to use, although some companies provide expert support for a cost. And free to tamper with the source code and make/distribute your own
Ahhhh cool thans
Triatticus
That is free to really screw up if you're not careful, but goes quite well if you get some good guides and advice
Indeed. If you're running it on a VM though it's extra free! Even mistakes are free!
creamedLead
Or debian if your hardware is old enough
I meant like powerpc macs, but you are correct.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
lies. debian sid's package versions are barely older than arch.
Debian really shines at wide range of supported devices and stability. Bleeding edge it isn't but that's not what it's going for
as i said, that's simply not true. it's as bleeding edge as you want it to be - it's just that the kind of people who want bleeding edge >
> don't usually want to use debian, for various reasons.
Bleeding edge requires additional repos. Their schtick is stability so when you install from official there's almost no chance to Bork it
ah yes, debian UNSTABLE is widely known for being stable. mmh hmm.
