I'm sorry to be the one who breaks this to you but linux is as binary as you can get. Ever wondered what 64 bit means? Bits are quite binary, that's kind of the definition
brb, going to rm -rf /bin
Afterwards you will be running a 63bit system. I challenge you to find the others.
With the introduction of the number 2, we goin' TRINARY!
Fun fact, the reason internet speeds are measure in Bits, not Bytes, is that 8 bits to a Byte is entirely arbitrary and could be changed if there was will to do so.
Build from source tho
64bit... no wonder there are complaints about too many genders.
Linux on an analog computer
i prefer my binaries to stay inside the computer. binary does not belong in brain >n<
message misunderstood, penis stuck in Linux user
Uhhh I.... I'm a Linux user 😳😳😅😫
Have you tried calling Kostman's?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Wait... I could have used arch btw without being trans???
No you have to use Manjaro, it's Arch for the rest of us
still waiting for my trans arc. Haven't seen it coming yet...
BSD is furries
Nah, we just prefer the one true Linux mascot.
I wonder what percent of Linux users dual boot.
I don't think I ever haveI'm just remembering getting a laptop from an employer and going through the effort of partitioning the disk drive down to a bare minimum for Windows and setting up dual boot - I don't remember actually booting into the Windows side more than a couple of times. This would have been over a decade ago. Either I've had a Windows-only machine supplied by my employer, which I wasn't allowed to mess with at that level; or I've had a Linux machine. Even the computers I've bought that came with Windows pre-installed, I haven't even booted into Windows before wiping the storage and installing Linux.I'm not some sort of purist; Windows just makes me angry when I use it - I've just always found it a frustrating experience, so I've never bothered with dual booting.
It makes me wonder what the distribution is. Are the majority of Linux users dual-booters?
I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven't used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.
Used to for one package - stupid tax filing software that won't run under Wine, likely because it's shitty garbage that was written in VB. The forms don't reflow properly.
I had enough of the two systems trying to clobber each other's bootloaders and this year am running Tiny10 in a VM instead. The forms STILL don't reflow properly in anything except for VMWare. Don't ask me why, it's financial software and it always comes out broken and is patched just in time to file before the deadline.
Steam's Proton and modern AMD drivers have been super effective in allowing me to do all my gaming on Linux now, and all my dev work always was. Don't see much reason for Windows these days.
just dualbooted by debian thinkpad with arch linux today. Gave me nvidia drivers, and modern packages. I'm not sure i like it or not. I could install the same drivers under debian, but with debs, which is no fun, and would also still require optimus shenanigans, so it's just generally not fun.
Idk, fun experiment though.
Which parts are you unsure about? I think one of the first things I install on a new Arch is yay - it makes package management so much nicer.
What the..?
BTW, TIL learned more pronouns.
Some people give options when sharing their pronouns. For example a non-binary person could use both “he/him/his” and “they/them/theirs” pronouns. - https://www.diversitycenterneo.org/about-us/pronouns/
one of these days i need to get on tumblr, seems like a funny site.
I... don't get it. Is this a reference to distros?
no it's just tumblr being tumblr, they like weird nonsensical comparisons like these
Would you say that Windows is cis and Linux is trans?
Kinda, pretty much all complete PCs you buy are assigned windows at sale
New acronym just dropped (AWAS)
No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.
Linux is
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

And Mac is gay
Hey, no insulting gays!
Seems to fit. The Apple apple in the logo was rainbow-striped between 1977 and 1998.
The colours were in the order 432165 though, so an argument otherwise might be possible. Is it possible to be agy or bselnai?
(And why does that read like Hungarian? I looked it up. "agy" means "brain". this is a deep conspiracy! ~is dragged off screaming~)
Nah it's androgynous.
Mac is when you're still small and don't have a concept of gender
