    I just don’t know why I keep clicking on the memes. I don’t know anything about Linux, I know I’m not gonna get it, but I keep opening them and being confused. It’s like when I try to understand the code in programmer humor like it’s suddenly gonna click. Or ich_iel. I don’t speak German. What was up with all the noodles? I still don’t know!

    I stg, 80% of my time on this site is just clicking stuff I know will confuse me but I can’t stop.

      The path to enlightenment seems clear. All aboard the Linux train.

      Choo Choo!

        I’ve thought about it and then I remember that I’m pretty dumb about stuff that doesn’t interest me much, so it would have to be a situation where someone else was like, “here’s your linux computer, I already set up all your stuff and your games all work.”

          Ah yeah I was only messing really. There is no reason for 90% of people to switch to Linux if they’re happy with Windows or MacOs and I say this as someone who’s solely been using Linux for nearly 20 years now.

          Sure, it’s a great operating system but honestly most people just don’t…give a shit.

            Give it a year or so. I may give more of a shit when Win10 hits EOL because I really don’t want 11.

      I use Linux since 2008 and I don’t get most of the Linix Memes as well. :) I also know German as a native language and don’t get most of the ich_iel stuff. You are not alone.

      Meme is a lie. Linux is tofu. It absorbs whatever flavor you hope, but only after performing tasks and you still want the other thing sometimes.
