  • Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.

    As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.

    Huh. I still see Gros Michel (or a relatively similar breed) at markets from time to time where I live (although I’m in the Middle East)

    Edit: I’ve also seen other variants before. I think the Cavendish is the blandest of them all. My favourite type of banana is a bit smaller with a very fragrant smell that’s also sweeter. Not sure what it’s called though


  • They’re recommending a meme-distro in a serious thread without making it clear that it’s a joke.

    In this case someone might read their comment and follow their advice, thus ending up with Nyarch as their first distro. In the future, when they run into problems, they’ll have trouble finding support because it doesn’t have a massive knowledge-base or the support of a big community behind it like all the mainstream distros do.

    It might be an obvious joke to a Linux user, but a total Linux newbie might get confused or not even recognise it as such. If this comment was posted in /c/linuxmemes or something I wouldn’t say anything, but it is not.
