kittenzrulz123, What is the best distro and why is it Debian?
0x4E4F, (edited ) 
Because Debbie is a woman, and we all know why Ian made it the best distro, happy wife happy life.
foggianism, My favorite Metallica song is Seek an Destro.
0x4E4F, Seek and Distro 🤨?
eldain, That is true! I assume Debra had Debbie as a nickname sometimes, full points.
0x4E4F, All Debras are called Debbie.
vynlwombat, Where is the start button?
isVeryLoud, Top left!
0x4E4F, Right next to the reset button usually.
CaptPretentious, What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.
laurelraven, One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3
This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible
0x4E4F, Correct!
loudWaterEnjoyer, 
Explain this
laurelraven, That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once
loudWaterEnjoyer, But it’s 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn’t it?
laurelraven, Not at all! Since it’s half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.
It’s really quite simple, I don’t see how this could be confusing at all…
thecrotch, How do I change the language to EN-US on redstar os?
ccdfa, Follow up: how to change to french on templeOS?
0x4E4F, You have to recode the kernel in french.
Threeme2189, Recompile le kernel
0x4E4F, Oui.
spookedbyroaches, In the locale picker it’s called YEE-HAW not EN-US 👍
0x4E4F, You don’t. It’s designed to be unchagable. Only the supreme leader can change that.
mutter9355, sudo = supreme leader do
BleatingZombie, 🫡
militaryintelligence, What does L.I.N.U.X stand for
Blue_Morpho, Linux Is Not Uni X
Really_long_toes, I like that
0x4E4F, Linus Is Nuts, Use X
HStone32, How do you reverse the bit-stream scalar using the systemd fractional scaling initializer?
stoicmaverick, There’s an EMACS plugin to do it.
0x4E4F, You remove the scalar with pliers, then do some welding work on the initilalizer to get it to the proper shape (systemd is known to have unstandard sizes of shape and size plugs). Then, you chop the bit-stream into single bits and insert them one by one into the initializer, hold them there, then plug the initializer in systemd and let the bits fall in it. EZ
Rustmilian, 
What are programmer socks?
0x4E4F, They’re socks that programmers usually wear when they’re out, not programming, because everyone needs socks when they go out. But, programmers felt underappreciated if their socks are called just like everyone elses socks, so they changed their name by adding programmer in front.
uis, 
Programming-improving device
makunamatata, They are soft material artifacts that protect and warm up the programmer’s feet.

I’d like you to guess which one of these is fake:
- How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?
- How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?
Edit:
OP has answered, the answer isthat the second one is fake, the first one is real.
ook_the_librarian, 
Whichever one is fake could be real tomorrow.
makunamatata, There is always an alternate reality
AVincentInSpace, do you have any idea the shitstorm that would go down in the Void Linux forums
thecrotch, Is it anything like the daily shit storm in every Linux community?
renzev, Not OP but I know which one is fake because I remember actually doing the other one haha
cyanarchy, If you didn’t tell me one of these were fake I would never have questioned it.
ook_the_librarian, Honestly, just because one is nonsense, it wouldn’t mean it’s fake. I’ve read help forums.
PoolloverNathan, …Neither?
unlawfulbooger, You’re good. I know one of these is definitely real, but the other one is plausible enough to make me think both are real
0x4E4F, They are both fake. Neither of them show up any results on google searches.
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S, 
Which Linux distribution should I run on my Arduino Uno for maximum performance?
0x4E4F, RedStar OS.
uis, LFS
nogrub, we all know its hannah montana os
BustinJiber, Last time I installed Kubuntu I was stopped by an seemingly undealable-with overscan issue, like 20% of the view was outside the screen and NVIDIA control panel sucked. So I had to go back to Windows after like half a week of googling and no dice, it was unacceptable. Thoughts?
EuroNutellaMan, 
You should try ball busting
0x4E4F, You need to set the image in the monitor to the left or right (depending which side was being cut off).
BustinJiber, (edited ) Not an option with this TV. And it was all sides. It was easily fixable on Windows, I somehow figured it out on Raspberry PI OS and Kodi. But the Linux NVIDIA configuration had like one slider and I have no idea what is that even suppose to do. Shows how much they care.
0x4E4F, (edited ) Please refer to the answer of the question “Why do Linux users hate Nvidia”.
BustinJiber, I’m not even Linux user and can join that crowd.
deathbird, xfce: what should it stand for?
lseif, x-face. because using it makes u go X(
laurelraven, Xtra Feral Computing Elements
0x4E4F, X Fucks Custom Enhancements
loaExMachina, Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we’re referring to the whole OS ?
cyanarchy, LiGNUx is a hill I’m entrenched and ready to die on.
0x4E4F, (edited ) No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.
loaExMachina, The mask has fallen.
thecrotch, Is GNU really just unix in disguise?
laurelraven, Well, it stands for GNU’s Nearly UNIX, so probably
victorz, No. Otherwise where’s the limit? GNU/Linux/systemd/Xorg/i3/Firefox/kakoune?
mexicancartel, What if i call it GNU and put the limit there
victorz, What if I call it your mom
(jk I luv u)
stoicmaverick, I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.
treadful, 
What kernel parameters should I use?
0x4E4F, The parameters that suite your needs.
laurelraven, All of them, just to be sure
pifox, What is “:(){ :|:& };:”
stoicmaverick, An alias for “sudo shutdown now”
ouRKaoS, An emoticon with a weird hat
NeatNit, which part is the face and which part is the hat?
victorz, Yep
EuroNutellaMan, A funny command that gives you free chocolate
makunamatata, Try it in your terminal and come back here to tell us the results
laurelraven, A text based Rorschach test. That one is clearly a mouse chasing a cat.
0x4E4F, That is what happens when none of your alphabet keys on your keyboard are working, but you still wanna communicate online.
uis, Emergency breaks
Snapz, How many orbs do you need to use to make it show the yellow screen?
0x4E4F, 5 to 10, depends on the shade of yellow you’d like to get.
