I think that’s mostly an American stereotype, I believe Estonia and France and several other European countries get roughly the same amount of paid holidays as well as paid time off. Though apparently you guys also have a 35 hour work week, which I’m jealous of!

On the plus side we have actual holidays and good luck bothering me outside of hours, haha!

I mean we have that here in Estonia too :P

If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.

I’m sure someone somewhere has found software they need that doesn’t work with Wine. Solidworks, a bunch of Adobe shit, etc. Oftentimes the free alternatives just aren’t quite there yet, even though they exist.

KDE has a GUI app called Discover that will do Flatpaks as well as other package management systems. It shows me RPM packages that I normally update with zypper

I think that’s actually a then keyword

Y’know, from back when it was common for languages to do if foo then baz

I hear the French usually program in French as well. I do not want to ever work in France.

Yes - unlike any Linux distros I know of. But that’s fine, we don’t need Linux to be Unix certified for it to be awesome.

MacOS is Unix like, but that’s because the kernel (Darwin) descends from BSD.

You can give it a try now if you’re interested, you should get decent enough gaming performance, though you obviously aren’t going to double your fps or anything.

For browsers, you can use binary packages because compiling either firefox or chrome every time there’s an update would be an absolute pain.

Then if you use a desktop environment, that’s usually the biggest thing when there’s an update.

And to be clear - you recompile the packages that are updated, or for which you’ve changed USE flags (if you add that as a flag in your emerge command). You don’t recompile the entire system every time. Unless you specify that.

I ran it for gaming for 2 years, only stopped because I switched from KDE Plasma to Gnome and broke something, tried to switch back and broke something further. It MIGHT also be that I tried to switch from X to Wayland at the same time instead of doing one thing at a time.

It’s one of the categories of humor. You can also be funny by timing, reference earlier works or common knowledge, etc. Best jokes combine multiple things. In this case, exaggeration and reference to common knowledge (DiCaprio likes em young)

How many jackets anyway? I’m going to need someone to do some quick maths for me.

Ah yes, everyone’s favorite brown jacket man.

I think I skipped that video, will go watch it.

Where are they giving babies heroin?

Hetzner has better pricing if you don’t need to scale down dynamically.

Is that different from an oven with air circulation?

It’s content lifted from other social media

They do which is why I wouldn’t recommend it.

Off the top of my head:

OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS

Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

You can be making money anytime nowadays if you’ve got a driver’s license. Not that I’d recommend it though.

A large part of voting age Americans didn’t care enough either way.
