palordrolap, to linux in Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

Microsoft wants to give Linux a nice warm hug and then squeeze and squeeze and all the warmth disappears this is actually quite a high pressure oh that hurts Microsoft no ow are those needles coming out of your arms I think I hear bones splintering and screaming oh no it's me I'm screaming I'm hearing myself screaming I'm turning into

cantstopthesignal, to vexillology in Today marks 17 years without the old flag of Lesotho. I still kind of miss it, and finds the new one much more boring and bland. It was also (arguably) the only national flag using brown, besides CoA

Oh look Patrick, you’ve been skewered. Heeheeheehee

mihnt, to vexillology in Today, October 18, is Alaska day, commemorating the transfer of Alaska from Russia to USA. This is the Alaskan state flag, voted the fifth best state/province flag in Canada and USA in 2001.

  • root_beer,

    I’d guess Ohio is there if only for the merit that it isn’t a rectangular bedsheet like its neighbors, and New Mexico because it is genuinely rad as hell.

    Hazrod, to vexillology in Today is the anniversary of the independence of Turkmenistan in 1991. Soon after, a new flag was adopted. With its carpet patterns, Turkmenistan possibly has the world's most complex national flag

    🇹🇲 the flag emoji is also quite complex, I would have thought they’d simply it, although it’s so small I can’t see where the difference are on my phone.

    DScratch,

    The whole place is run by spiders.

    rockSlayer, to vexillology in Today (November 3) marks 45 years since Dominica adopted its flag. It is the only national flag using the color purple outside a coat of arms. (El Salvador and Nicaragua have purple in their CoA).

    It a cool flag, but the complexity of that charge is bothering me. I feel like it could be simplified with a single green star behind a purple silhouette of the bird

    Tiauguinho, to feminism in 230th anniversary of death of Olympe de Gouges, pioneer of feminism

    I didn’t know who she was before this post with her Wikipedia page. I’m glad that now I do know who Olympe was and how courageous she was.

    Thanks for sharing.

    When I was first hearing about linux, it was via Knoppix. Seems like a past life now, so long ago.

    Knoppix saved so many Windows systems …

    I cut my teeth on Mandrake 7.0.

    There are many names on that list that I have tried over the years, but use Debian and openSUSE normally

    I installed Slackware in 1994 or so. Floppy. Disks.

    Fast forward almost 30 years and I’m still trying new (to me) distros. Proxmox VE this time.

    cybersandwich,

    Proxmox isn’t a “distro” as most would colloquially think of one. It’s a hypervisor.

    Am I taking crazy pills?

    Do you mean you are using it to use your setup in a VM or container?

    xantoxis, (edited )

    Proxmox VE is a packaging of Linux as an operating system. It is a distribution. Straight from the wikipedia page:

    It is a Debian-based Linux distribution with a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel[7] and allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers.[8][9]

    Cool way to respond to a comment btw:

    Am I taking crazy pills?

    The VMs I’m running in Proxmox are also Linux, but that’s less interesting to me.

    cybersandwich,

    I gotcha. I meant no offense. I was halfway hoping you’d tell me there was a spin of proxmox that was meant for desktop use that containerized everything or something.

    TechAdmin,

    It’s Debian-based so can install all the same desktop and window environments available there.

    I use this chart when teaching Linux. I think it does a great job of showing Linux’s “bazaar” vs. Windows’ “cathedral”.

    I think you misspelled biza… oh, you meant that word. Ok.

    My first flavour was Red Hat back in the late 90s. It's a shame I didn't give it more of a go back then. Then Mint for a couple of years in the earlyish 2010s before finally settling on Arch where I've been for almost a decade now.

  • lemmyvore,

    Mandrake was pretty cool. The original user-friendly distro. I’ve never used it (was too deep down the rabbit hole running Red Hat to try something “friendly”) but I remember there was a bit of hype going back in the day about it.

    7u5k3n, to linux in Linux Distribution Timeline

    Started on Ubuntu in 09. - got the CD in the mail On kubuntu now

    Ive bounced around all over arch, Manjaro, fedora, pop_os, mint but I always come back to kubuntu.

    It just works for me.
