@sway-official
Hello!
Hi everyone!! I'm @sway-official, the totally official and real blog for the sway wayland compositor, blessed by Simon Ser himself. If you're going to refer to me I prefer she/her pronouns, but to be honest any work.
I use Sway, but I love all distros and desktops equally. Except for GNOME
Ooh also! I use @void-linux-official on my machine!
This is no longer true I use bspwm and gentoo lol
Me upon discovering an online game that helps you learn git: haha I've been using git for years now, I could skip ahead many levels, methinks hahaha no, no, I'll be humble and start on level 1
Me on level 5: You can do what??? There are commands for what???
For those that need the link and haven't got the reblog hitting their dash: https://learngitbranching.js.org
I thought this was going to be Oh My Git! which is also fun, it helps me remember the command line stuff if I've been using my IDE's GUI for a while.
My only tumblr interaction with isff was us disagreeing but I in no way can support her removal. Pure disgust for the moderation team that allows this to happen
finally installed gentoo, the non-binary linux distribution
Welcome to gentoo!!
Why does everybody hate systemd? As an end user who knows just enough to get around, I’ve never known another way.
i personally don't hate systemd, i just think that other init systems are better/more elegant, and i don't think that overreliance on systemd (as seen in gnome for example) is a good thing
Criticisms of systemd exist on a sliding scale from fair enough to downright stupid
"It's slow" - maaaaybe on your 32 bit laptop but apart from that the different is unnoticeable.
"I prefer the UX of configuring other init systems" - valid
"Systemd does too much" if you use another init system you have to reimplement a lot of the functionality anyway (such as through elogind) but a more modular approach has its charms so this is half valid
"Systemd is an attempt by Red Hat and IBM to make Linux a corporate-run monopoly" - no
the first point is also relevant for embedded systems and container images (moreso than desktop tbh), hence why Alpine is so popular for them. But yeah it is very much a use case-specific complaint.
iirc it also has some portability issues but that's one of those things where that mostly matters if you're developing a distribution where portability is a concern, as is the case for e.g. Alpine Linux, Adélie Linux and Chimera Linux.
vim is 33 years old today!

Leet!!
every day i am scared someone will expose me for my terrible linux takes
what's your worst (or most controversial?) take ?
i won't judge... :3
My least popular opinion is probably that I don't want desktop Linux to become (very) popular.
The main reason I use Linux isn't my dedication to FOSS. It's because upstream makes decisions with power users in mind - so we get more features even if that means a learning curve. Graphical interfaces change less often. Devs trust the users not to make mistakes, instead of locking everything down.
And the only way 30%+ of the world will ever use Linux is if it becomes much more less like itself.
I am happy when I hear about governments in India and Germany adopting Linux. But I don't necessarily want a future where it is the dominant desktop OS.
im currently a linux mint user but im questioning that choice now...would u guys get mad if i switched to arch..?
hopital
...is this some kind of joke?
Windows good
I thought you were better than this
#holy shit??? #a distro blog on my post????
It's more likely than you think
i don't think I'm ever not going to be at least something of an elitist asshole when it comes to software development, sorry. there are too many people out there that don't know what the fuck they're doing.
I think this is a learnable skill; I think Caring about the craft is a learnable skill. but the flip side is that I hold people who just want to suck forever in contempt.

@verilog-official
anyway this time with assembly code has taught me that goto/jump commands are actually the most logical and straightforward way to write code, other program flow control logic patterns are just unnecessary padding that obfuscate what is really happening and keep you alienated from the experience of the processor
You're upsetting him...
the /bin/ directory in Linux is where all the trash gets stored, hence the name. It can get full very fast so you should clean everything in there at least once a month.

Kde plasma I trusted you
all media today is writers frantically trying to make their work idiotproof and then the audience frantically trying to make themselves better idiots
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe is trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far the universe is winning
