biggest meme

>>1016706

Well. The discussion should be on how we can have less of a fractured Linux ecosystem, I guess.

There's a handsome and knowledgeable YouTuber, whose name is Luke Smith, and he did a very good video about Linux distros. You should watch it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zpgQpdy_fI

He also like imageboard culture and memes, just like you. You should subscribe to him if you have a YouTube account.

>>1016717

Hey uhhh this guy uhhhhh he's aight I guess uhhhhh

>>1016714

*GNU/Linux

They actually got rid of the spyware a while back now, but they're still using the cancer that is Unity. Just use Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Mint is a meme distro with meme DEs as its only selling point.

>>1016797

>Unity

It has gnome now

>>1016717

Please, whether you are Luke himself, a legit fan or just false flagging, please stop it with recommending that faggot, it's one of the worst cancers on /g/, and I say that as somebody who ran off to /tech/ after getting range banned for spamming anti-Luke threads.

>>1016808

What drives your need to protect others from learning from him? It's fine if you don't find his videos useful but not everyone is expert level with Linux like you are. I've learned some cool things from his channel.

>>1016820

>Luke Smith

>"Learning Linux"

Back to reddit you go faggot

>>1016820

If you really are this retarded then I pity you.

>>1016820

You gotta realize he's just a sociopath who makes money by repeating all the /pol/ and /g/ memes and opinions he finds, and them spamming himself all over /g/. Whatever little you might learn from him, you can learn it better from another source who actually cares about teaching and not just memes and becoming famous.

You cant trust somebody who's trying to get famous over everything else on anything that actually matters, because all of his opinions are just being a contrarian just for the sake of controversy, or being a conformist for the sake of sounding like he's in touch with whatever the latest /g/ trends are. He doesn't actually give a shit about the stuff he's making videos about.

>>1016825

I'm sensing envy. Envy that someone else is getting fans from something that you want to keep secret and anonymous. Luke's just a guy in the woods talking about tech. You'd have to be pretty insecure to see any of what he does as an attack on you.

>>1016823

>>1016824

Oh I think I get it now. In order to like someone you have to be able to relate to them. But you see nothing in Luke Smith you can relate to since he isn't an unhelpful elitist asshole who insults people.

>>1016830

Atleast I'm not a retard that goes into the woods and talk about a shitdistro

Or a retard that actually likes him and tries to side with him

>>1016717

Hello Luke

reminder that the term "rootkit" originated from unix (super user in unix is called root), is still a big issue in linux, and your "linux doesn't get viruses" argument is bullshit

>>1016797

>They actually got rid of the spyware

>doesn't know about systemd

You are either a glownigger, or should be posting in >>>/g/

>>1016800

So it's even worse now.

>>1016830

Why is it that e-celeb fanboys always go to the

>uhhhh you's just jealous

so quickly? He doesn't care about you, goy. You can shill him for free all you want and he'll never acknowledge your existence.

>>1016717

sir you are great

thank you for this piece of important information sir

>I'm sensing envy. Envy that someone else is getting fans from something that you want to keep secret and anonymous.

Nah, it's not because he's "getting fans from something that you want to keep secret and anonymous". It's just that he's a cringey wannabe-jew larping as le ebin Ted Kaczynski boomer (when he uses the same amount of tech as anybody else) and spouting all kinds of retardation, and the /g/ autists eat it up and believe it's real when the guy is obviously just acting to get views. Heck, I bet you even Linus shill tips is more honest and legit to his viewers than Luke.

And the fact that there are so many retarded people on there drowning out the good content annoys me. At least it used to, since I'm not going on there anymore after my IP range was banned.

I have no issue with people getting famous talking about Linux or whatever as long as they know their stuff, or even talking about retarded memes, as long as they're making fun of them and not repeating them unironically as if they actually believed them (cringe).

>Luke's just a guy in the woods talking about tech.

The problem is his opinions are retarded and dishonest, and he only says them to get views from other retards.

>You'd have to be pretty insecure to see any of what he does as an attack on you.

Oh, now you're playing psychologist huh? I bet you suck Jordan Peterstein's dick too, don't ya?

He probably doesn't even know I exist, why would I see his videos as a personal attack? That's just retarded. I can dislike someone without that person "attacking me".

>>1016688

Agreed. I found ubuntu MATE to be much better than Gnome or Unity, even on a touchscreen.

>>1016610 (OP)

It sends some data to Amazon. Use Linux Mint or Manjaro.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html

> Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy various things from Amazon.

all I really know about Mint is that it removed the Canonical/Amazon botnet shit. apart from that I don't really know.

If anyone here uses anything systemD just fucking kill yourselves you newfag plebs.

Just use mxlinux, it's easier to use than any *ubuntu variant.

>>1017224

>Falling for the muh systemd meme

Yes systemD is bad for advanced users since it limits amount of configuration/modularisation but it's ok for regular users. I use MX Linux that doesnt have systemd by default.

>>1017229

>regular users

Where do you think you are?

>>1017224

>>>/g/

>>1017236

lmao you sure are retarded

>>1017235

By regular users I mean casual users that just play gaymes and browse the web and not users that want to understand the GNU/Linux system

>>1017244

you sure are an edgy kid

>>1017271

>actually jewgle is fine for people who have nothing to hide

hmmmmmm

>>1017275

>I'm a level headed nigger who recommends systemD s-stop being edgy

yeah wow ya got me you fucking mong.

>>1017284

by all means continue

>>1017434

>That's literally the point of YouTube. Act interesting in your videos so you can get views. Not even just YouTube, but the entire medium of video is based on this.

There's a difference between behaving a bit outlandish and speaking about popular subjects, and literally modifying all your opinions to whatever you believe will make you more popular with the herd, regardless of what you actually think (or, alternatively, being so ass backwards retarded that you have Luke's /g/ desktop thread tier opinions).

>The amount of butthurt here is hilarious.

Then maybe that's for a fucking reason. If you believe this place here is so full of losers that become jealous of somebody just because he can make a living out of jewtube, why don't you go back to Reddit where I'm sure everyone will appreciate this guy?

>But if you actively go out of your way to hate on something, well that's likely because your hate is driven by envy.

I think you missed a step or two in that logical inference.

>>1017434

I'm very jealous of needing a 10 minute lecture on how to use youtube-dl.
