If only …

I used to like C++. Over the last ~20 years it became a horrible language (imho). It now has more syntax than all other C-style languages combined. I try not to touch it (anymore) if I don’t have to. ~7 years ago I got hired as a senior C# .NET developer (experience since .NET 1.1). I ended up doing nothing but C++ for the first year because people found out I could do it. I was the guy in that meme:

We have very different ideas of what constitutes ‘fun’.

It’s more of a joke. The tank in the picture is a T28 Super Heavy Tank . It was developed in the US and was ludicrously large. Not being ready for serial production at the end of WW2 the project was canceled. Only two prototypes were ever built.

Not sure if you are serious or your comment is a meta meme …

They likely would, if it was an Arch butt plug.

Read the wiki before so you know how to use it without hurting yourself.

It’s OK. There’s no kink shaming here.

No.

ancient /g/ memes

Ancient maybe. But I only ever posted them to reddit. If you’ve seen them in /g/ that were reposts by other people.

Like, y’all realize backdoors are built into motherboards nowadays right?

True.

So sure, we need to be even more zealous, serious and loud if anything, […]

Zealot is like my middle name.

[…] but the infighting? The infighting is fucking childish.

It’s just so much fun. Don’t you like fun?

I don’t know why, but it really is. You’d be surprised to see how many servers in the wild run ubuntu and how many docker images are based on ubuntu.

I don’t know what I’m looking at here. I also don’t know if I want to know.

Why, thank you! I have 🥰

Ooooh, intriguing …

Shall I also explain how to walk, breathe, and drink?

You often (if not most of the time) need some infrastructure in OCI containers (while we’re at it, let’s get rid of the misnomer Docker image). And that’s going to be some subset of a distribution hand-crafted for that purpose. Most of the time, that should be Alpine, because they provide the slimmest base image.

Only one way to find out if you would like it …

I’m curious to hear how that works out. I’m a big fan of C#; not so much the Microsoft ecosystem. I’d say for maximum scalability you’d want languages which compile to small binaries. So, Go, Rust, C++, C, and theoretically some others. The approach with Java and C# to bundle the framework, JIT, etc, and then try to shave off as much as you can get away with feels kind of backwards. And I get the excitement of the Java folks when they manage to create a self-contained binary with GraalVM and co of 12mb. Like, that’s impressive, but had you developed the same thing with Go it would be .5mb. Curious to see how .NET fares in that comparison to Java.

I have no experience with Darktable. But, really any and every distro should do it. Every distro comes with a learning curve. My personal advice would be not to go with distro derivatives. In the early days, Ubuntu was quite good, for making Debian “more accessible” to a larger audience and people unfamiliar with linux. I still like it for being an African success story. But, I can’t recommend it anymore for a slew of reasons. So, I’d say, go with debian, fedora, or even Arch. If you want to go with debian, you should know about non-free. If you go with fedora, you should know about rpmfusion. If you want to go with Arch, you should be comfortable with a more bare-bones and hands-on experience and reading the Arch-wiki (which is one of the most extensive and best wikis out there, and even useful if you use another distro). If you want something stable that just works and don’t need the newest of the new software, use debian. If you want the bleeding edge, that mostly just works, go with fedora. If you want the bleeding edge, want maximum control, and are not afraid to stay on top of it, go with Arch. Of course, many other distros could be a good pick for you. They all have pros and cons.

If your fedora experience is that terrible, you’ve clearly not figured out how it’s done.

I think I don’t need to reiterate the replies you got on that post and explain why it was downvoted.

_cnt0,
@_cnt0@sh.itjust.works avatar

Honestly, I don’t really care what you think.

The feeling is reciprocal.
