• KDE is better than GNOME
  • Vim is better than Emacs
  • Wayland is better than X11
  • Systemd is better than any other init system
  • Rust in the Kernel is better than C

Add your own, if you dare. Linux is an operating system.

    The popularity of NixOS is based on sunk-cost fallacy as a result of learning Nix.

    I use NixOS, btw.

    Nano > Vim/Emacs

    My two brain cells are happy with a program that doesn’t take a degree to operate when I just need to break edit my fstab or some config files

      I don’t get Vim, at all. If I have to sit down and study it how efficent is it really? I am a fan of Vim inspired software though. Qutebrowser was really nice.

    You can have all the opinions you want. In the end, the ecosystem (Linux is an ecosystem, not an OS) evolves by people with different drives trying different things, some aspects are successful and are kept, some are developed for a while and dropped, some are brilliant but never reach critical mass.

    It’s a somewhat chaotic mix of engineering and tinkering that ultimately works while embracing widely opposing opinions. This quirky nature provides it with strength and flexibility.

    Bottom line: we need strong opinions and people who act on those opinions to build the vision they want.

      Me too (whether Linux is an OS depends on how you define the term) and that’s why it’s such a silly post to make. If there weren’t anyone who thought KDE was better than GNOME, why would KDE still exist?

    CLI is better than GUI

    Keyboard is better than mouse (and don’t even mention touch interfaces)

    Run your main computer headless and SSH in from a thin client

    (Not my actual opinions, don’t SWAT me)

    Find me a guy with a master’s degree in jazz guitar writing music on Vim & I’ll agree on the emacs point…

    spoiler

    Excellent bait

    Agree Agree Agree Don’t know, I haven’t tried them all I suppose it’s safer, but being old fashioned, I prefer C
