A herd of snipers does sound kind of worrying to be honest.

Actual Unix users care. Maybe people that just jumped ship from Microsoft don’t, but I think that’s just because they don’t know what’s possible and how convenient it is.

One of the reasons that older people have money is because society was sane when they were young.

Also because they’ve had more time to make money.

As for the original question, “How to cope with existing right now?”, I find that apathy helps.

Back in the day you’d just cat file.txt > /dev/lp0 and it would work. Mostly.

I read while brushing my teeth. It’s not like there’s something interesting to look at.

At least you don’t have to recalibrate it every time you want to use it.

Distributions nowadays are defined by their desktop bling :(

It used to be that you could just install whatever desktop you fancied on pretty much any distro.

That’s because we brought too many scientists to Egypt instead of soldiers like the Brits did.

Venn diagrams, but the sets represent whatever the diagram is about (like houses for housing markets).

I used to keep a windows drive to run steam. But it honestly sees very little use nowadays.

Mostly I boot it every few months to see what shenanigans Microsoft has pulled with windows. Other than that, it’s just sitting there. Everything I play runs in Linux.

I run Tumbleweed btw.

None of the fish are in heaven either. Those filthy fish.

But when you’ll be looking for XP compatibility in 2050, they’re going to be the only game in town.

Unix was meant to be much friendlier than the mainframe systems that wer prevalent at the time and which wer horrible to use without a lot of training (or even with it). By contrast, Unix commands were simple, self documenting. Anyone could use it.

I think that the point is to get a much bigger radiator by moving it to a less cramped location. The point is to make the process more efficient, not to change its nature.

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

At the time, I installed slackware with a lot of floppies.

Now, after trying quite a few, I settled on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed. It has one of the best KDE desktops, and basically just works, whatever you do with it. It’s comfortable and boring which I see as great qualities.

Woah. That was a fine idea, but a free DLC? Management isn’t going to like that concept.
