Is mayonnaise a distribution?
Looks like it. You distribute it across the bread.
Are you talking about making a grilled cheese where you sub Mayo for the butter? Cuz it turns out pretty awesome!
Yep! I was very surprised with the result as well.
Wait until you try bacon grease. Y’all are in for a real treat.
I don’t know what broke in me recently, but for about 3 years now, pork products just taste kinda dirty
This tends to happen with major cultural expeditions. Mapping the world’s farts had likely altered your palette.
Good point. I’d consider retirement, but who else is gonna do this job?
It will be now that the idea has been sown.
Then there will be rival distros that hate each other. Dukes vs Miracle Whip debates. etc.
Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise. And no one actually knows what it is other then just plain nasty. Never, ever buy Miracle Whip.
Dukes all day. Sandwiches, salads, whatever. Savory mayo only. None of that sweet salad dressing people confuse with mayonnaise.
Miracle Hwip?
This is what using Lemmy feels like sometimes.
Here’s some others:
- Windows is garbage. The last time windows was good was Windows [10, 7, 2000, NT, 3.1, O/S2].
- don’t you care about your privacy?
- All AI is all slop all the time. If you think of using AI you are garbage.
- Star Trek. I have no issues with my Star Trek homies. Y’all are awesome.
You are forgetting:
- you have the moral obligation to pirate all creative works.
IP as a concept exists in a superstate where it’s bad in the context of piracy but good in the context of generative AI.
When I watch a movie, the credits roll at the end. I can look up the actors on IMDb. Even if I pirated it, I know who made it. That’s how I know Rian Johnson is a good director and I should watch anything he makes.
AI can’t name its inspiration.
I’m sorry XP was the good windows lmao
Windows XP was the start of the worst of Windows. Keep 9x out of NT!
hey i like my snes9x
Windows 2000 workstation if we’re restricting ourselves to the Redmond beast. QNX 6 otherwise.
The last time Windows was good was… hmm. Never. It was never good.
hey winmate on my tandy sensation was pretty awesome.
windows n-1 was was good: an always relevant statement not because it’s true, but because less shit than whatever the garbage is now is such a low bar
That’s just incorrect, 95, 98, XP and 7 were some of the most popular OSs ever.
Dondalf Trumpssolini won the popular vote. Does that make him a good president or person?

- Capitalism is always given as the reason something is bad, that way nobody has to try and improve anything because the revolution is for later and working within the system is supporting the bad thing.
“Let’s rant about linux… in a linux community”
If you are so sassy about people having fun, just block the instance. I cant promise you will stop reading about linux, but your feed will be co siderably cleaner
Do you not get the meme… It’s funny because it’s true.
It’s true because you are in the wrong comunities… I dont see tankies, I don’t see porn and definitely it’s been a long while since the last time I saw star trek references on lemmy.

Lemmy: AI is garbage
Me who uses it to eliminate a shit ton of my mindless tasks like writing unit tests: You are garbage and is your opinion
*gets downvoted to oblivion*
The lemmy experiencePlease tell me you do at least proofread the unit tests though.
Ps: No your garbage
No I don’t proof read, I am an idiot who sucks at his job
I’m sure Linux is overrepresented across the whole of Lemmy but to be fair, we are in a community specifically about Linux. You could also just block the term Linux and be done with it
If you think this meme is a depiction of something worth blocking all Linux communities over, then we are not on the same page. I was just poking fun.
I think you need to reinitialize pan.sh
so, that’s NetBSD under heavy load.
Instructions unclear, now have a perfectly functioning system whereas before it would show ads in the Start Menu. Should I start over and do again?
If you see ads … pour gasoline over the whole thing
Let me interject for a moment. What you’ve referred to as “butter” is actually “I can’t believe it’s not/butter”. Have a pleasant day!
Oh, I remember that margarine brand, ICBINB: I Can’t Believe ICBINB’s Not Butter
That’s the one! Funny store about the name - it’s a recursive condiment.
Edit: sorry for inbox spam btw, lemmy.world having outages

No need for a vm btw, you can try a lot of them from your browser using distrosea.
This doesn’t really help you see what runs on your hardware.
A distribution isn’t a desktop.
Neither does a vm
Got em!
Quite.
People should test distributions from bootable media.
before you reach for butter, have you even considered whether or not a rolling release distro is right for you?
Or you could set up your desired sandwich through a few simple config files.
I read this as a “rolling cheese distro.” Like Debedam, or Camombware. I use Brie, btw.
You need to switch to Gamalost instead. Whey better package management. Brie curd use a better one.
Distros, bistros, tomatoh, tomahto.
Next recipe: peanut butter and Mint jelly
Looks like an average Google Gemini reponse
Id like ai a lot more if this were the case

Or just start with Ubuntu, while using a good mayonnaise for your grilled cheese.
Even better, Debian. Most peaceful distro ever.
Ubuntu is the miracle whip of distros.
I have to start looking for something a bit lighter than Ubuntu for my old Toughbook CF-30. I had Mint on an older laptop, years ago, and liked it. I’m not opposed to any flavor of Linux…I just want easy, the closest thing to issue/maintenance free, while taking full advantage or the specs I have to work with.
Can’t speak a ton on the part about taking full advantage of your hardware, but Debian is THE Just Works™ solution of Linux distributions. I’ve had not a single problem on Debian. I was on rolling-release Ubuntu (actually, it was KDE Neon) for a year after my first few weeks on Kubuntu, on which Plasma was TERRIBLY broken at the time. It used to apparently be broken on either Kubuntu or Neon at any given time, and never both, and I think it’s stable enough everywhere now, but once I came to Debian, I have decided to never look back or “ahead”. There’s always an alternative method to achieve what you want on Debian.
arch is like when you put bacon on your grilled cheese and dip it in tomato soup
Just be to grow your own tomatoes and raise your own cows first
Ive always used Debian based OS and I’m scared of arch. But I’m intrigued.
way better than you’d expect, or a structurally catastrophic mess
and that’s a 50/50 or
instead of fried chicken, eat grilled chicken, instead of soda, drink grilled chicken
btrfs reaching new heights
Alright guys I’m gonna tell you…I don’t use butter on my grilled cheese.
Nah. I use mayonnaise. A very thin coating, it doesn’t take much – and ultimately it’s easier for butter to be many more calories and taste inferior
Interesting. I put mayo on my hot dog buns. Just makes it better.
Mayo is an easy cheat code for a lot of things.
Heyyy bros and sisses. I am currently trying to do this after being fully converted by you guys. I am technically capable and have run Linux before. However, I am unsure if virtualbox is the best to use for this, and where to get isos and stuff… Just generally I searched around for doing precisely this, and there was barely any info available. Maybe I used the wrong keywords?
I’m guessing you’re currently on Windows, right? If so, Virtualbox is perfectly fine, otherwise, if you’re on Linux already, you could use Boxes or Virt manager that are more performant, but don’t stress yourself if you just wanna play around Virtualbox will always be more than sufficient.
As for the ISOs you can just get them directly from the distro websites or, if using Boxes, you can choose one at VM creation and it’ll download it for youVirtualbox is fine to test things out. In general, if you were to install it directly to your machine, it will run snappier than it will run in the virtual machine. Just saying if it feels laggy in Virtualbox, that doesn’t mean it won’t work.
For ISOs just go to the website of the distro you choose and look for ‘Downloads’. Usually there’s an ISO that’s been optimized for Virtualbox.
Personally, I’d just try live boot usbs instead of going to the effort of setting up VMs for different distros.
For getting images, my approach would be to search for the distro name to find its website and look for their downloads page. If there’s multiple flavours, just pick one and see how you like it. You can always switch to a different one once you’ve got enough experience to decide what is and isn’t important for you.
If you just want to game, Fedora was pretty easy to get going for me. I just installed that and then steam and was able to play games after that. I’ve got an AMD gpu and it was actually easier than on windows, since you still need to install gpu and chipset drivers on windows. The only time I spent on that in Fedora was the time it took to figure out I didn’t need to do that.
Only parts that took a little digging was mounting my other partitions (I think because I misunderstood some setup during the install, but it ended up being no big deal) and finding the setting that enabled all games to be attempted to run with proton, since by default steam will only show games with official linux support as playable by default.
Also getting sound working the way I wanted it to was a bit of a hassle, though any of the workarounds I tried worked pretty quickly. I wanted to use the optical digital, but it wouldn’t at first, but sound did work from the analog port as well as plugging my soundbar in via USB. And even though I gave up on getting the digital to work at the time because I just wanted to play a game, when I later swung back to it, it just worked, so I’m guessing it was just broken because my motherboard was a new one and the software needed to be updated to properly support it.
Thanks a million! Is Fedora using our capable of using wayland or will that be troublesome? I have an nvidia chipset on my laptop unfortunately, but I’ve heard many distros take care of those pretty good nowadays
All I can say for sure is that the cinnamon desktop I’m using has wayland (experimental) as an option. I haven’t tried it myself so I don’t know how stable it is. Or how well it might work with other desktops.
