Well, duh: People keep running it on bare metal.
I’m gonna bash my head to this fucking joke
Is there a /c/linuxdadjokes ?
It was replaced by /rust/linuxdadjokes
damn, that was witty.
Not yet
I know it is a joke, but please do not fragment things into oblivion.
How dare you say something like that in a Linux focused community?!?
(Oh, and this is a joke, don’t read it seriously.)
We just need to create that one single ultimate community for good linux jokes.
Until it splits into c/ubuntudadjokes c/archdadjokes and after that, there is no return
I want an entire instance dedicated to the welcome messages you get from a Slackware terminal.
this is great
But the fragments there aren’t the ones they like. So they want theirs in it too.
It’s like reinventing rugby as yank football.
It’s treason then.
Well, there’s !dadjokes@lemmy.world
For non technical readers :
the programming language “Rust” is being used more to make new Linux kernels. Traditionally, the main language for that use was the one by the name “c”.Non-technical readers? In my Linux memes community??
They’re talking to me. I use Mint. I’ve never opened the terminal. Just because some of us aren’t savvy doesn’t mean we aren’t at least casually interested. You could totally be joking too, I guess.
It’s a joke, yeah. Well, or rather a meme. This was a real advertisement, before it got memed on pretty hard:

Actually …
I still don’t get why Mint with it’s legacy Cinnamon desktop is recommended to new Linux users. Even Debian stable with a modern Gnome or Plasma desktop would do more justice to the growing FOSS ecosystem. Or go with Fedora which I recommend to all Linux/FOSS-newbs.
This is a meme, but my strong opinion at the same time. Go with Mint/Cinnamon as long as you like; you’ll make your own experiences and it is part of Linux/FOSS, too.
Because mint is familiar. The GUI and most of the keyboard shortcuts are similar to windows. The install is quick and easy, and for the most part everything will just work and be similar to what they’re used to.
Some people just want to be able to turn on their computer and do stuff without having to get used to a whole new UI.
Not using WindowsOS/MacOS is a very big step for them and FOSS
so please don’t care that much about distros :) and see the bright side: They are not using WindowsOS/MacOS
Man, your attitude is why Linux is still so fringe. That purity test shit is a real turn off.
For a casual user like myself, all that matters is my computer boots, is navigable and runs programs that do what I need. Mint/Cinnamon does that. It does it with no fuss. And every time some great FOSS warrior comes along to tell me it’s not Linux enough I like it even more. I’m not interested in distro hopping, at all. To be really honest, I’m not interested in my computer. I just use it.
It’s more likely than you think.
Surely the main language is still c?
Yes, “c” is still the main language for the Linux kernel… if i read correctly at :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel
Also, no usable stats (about lang. uses) on the “git” that i could get at :
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
… disclaimer : non my domain.
Yo dog I heard you like rust so we installed it to sda1 so you can have rust on your rust
-old so very old
The Rust community on Lemmy had been foreshadowing this all along.
sed ‘s/c/rust/g’
The Rust rustommunity on Lemmy had been foreshadowing this all along.
A rustleverly rustonrusteived and rustharmingly rustomirustal rustomebarustk.
Thank you.
Shoutout to the developers who work on making Linux safer. Adding memory-safe languages to Linux seems like an uphill battle.
It’s such an uphill battle that some people have altogether stopped contributing to Linux. An example is the former Asahi Linux lead developer.
Come on, you guis, seriously?
Wheres wd-40 linux?
Damn that’s dry joke. Good one.

Doctor: Can we talk about C++?
Linus: A-a-a-a-brrrrrr, brbrbr, lololo!!!
yuck yuck yuck
finally a joke for the dads
