I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It’s one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.
Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.
Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don’t even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.
In my experience, Linux folks are just happy to find each other in the wild.
Hell, I’m just happy to meet people that are Linux-curious lol.
It’s mostly online that the distro wars are fought.
2025 would be the year of Linux, if we could finally agree, that:
- Fedora,
- rust,
- systemd,
- wayland,
- pipewire,
- gtk,
- Gnome,
- nano,
- flatpak, and
- light mode
is the perfect stack of technology and configuration and that we do not need anything else. But no, you guys just had to disagree, and here we are …
I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)
Not to mention openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Fedora :)
And Arch Linux instead of openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
And NixOS instead of Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
And Linux Mint DE instead of NixOS and Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
What about a Linux mint desktop theme running on top of freeBSD?
You have just single handedly chased away some potential Linux users and prevented Year of the Linux Desktop 2024! Just with that comment! I hope you are happy now!
light mode??? 😂
Better UI consistency. It’s always really annoying when you have your nice dark theme and a bright white page pops out of nowhere and fry your eyes.
For ease on the eye, keep everything black on white, and turn down screen brightness if the environment is dark.
yall need dark mode extensions on yo browsers
So, i don’t know if this is sarcasm or not
For most people yes. The only things I would say are more personal choices are nano, Gnome, and light mode
Surprised how, of all the people who took the bait, not a single one of them complained about systemd.
My beard isn’t long enough to have an opinion about systemd. All I know is all my homies hate systemd for some reason.
A lot of complaints I’ve seen is that it’s bloated - it’s not only a system manager but also has a DNS relay, network manager, container manager, and so on.
That said, codifying service startup and managing them with cgroups is IMO MUCH better than init scripts that think running
killall apacheis a good way to stop a service.
Disagree on gnome and nano KDE and Micro supremacy
Fuck light mode
I want the kernel to be more rusty!
light mode? hello satan. also, let’s swap gnome to cinnamon. and fedora to mint.
🍿
Counterpoint it would be the year of the Linux desktop if we all agreed on
- Artix
- OpenRC
- Wayland (but different implementation)
- pulseaudio
- non-gnome gtk
- Hyprland
- Vim
- AUR
- dark mode always
- openSUSE better
- yes (zig is good too)
- dinit
- yes
- yes
- Qt
- cosmic (when it’s done)
- Emacs
- flatpaks are good at their job, but I want system packages too
- dark mode is infinitely better
Nano ?!
nanowith the new, alternative “GUI editor standard” keybinds or the oldpicoones?I will switch to Gnome when it can handle multiple workspaces on multiple displays properly. The fact that I can’t have multiple independent workspaces for each display is a complete deal breaker for me.
Kde is better tho
I beg to slightly differ, but it’s a good take overall:
- Aeon Desktop or Fedora Silverblue, any sane immutable system, really
- Zig + Rust + Scheme / Clojure
- systemd,
- wayland,
- pipewire,
- gtk,
- Gnome,
- nano / gedit / whatever y’all are using instead of glorious Emacs
- flatpak,
- distrobox
- light mode
Oh! So close, Honey. We’re looking for vim and dark-mode. But thanks for playing.
They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone

Haha, how naive. Snap, systemd, desktop environments, immutable or not, the list goes on. Lots of linux people have strong opinions on some or all of them, myself included. Linux people will never stop arguing over all of those and that is fine. There is choice, there are options, there are different opinions and that is great.
It really isn’t. It is just a kernel
It’s not just a kernel, it’s a lifestyle.

Free Software is Leftism because it has got us great software and maybe the only bad thing I can say is that release schedules aren’t a thing
Open Source is Capitalist Friendly because, ummmmm, extremely shitty Community Editions and putting everything cool in proprietary side, uhhhhh, random license changes to shit that isn’t actually OSD compliant, unghhhhhh, need of constant vigilance against license violations.
Like I am happy cheap hardware vendors have adopted OSS components but why are they frequently so shitty about everything
I haven’t seen Linux users fights over distros… Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.
I see a lot of claims of gatekeeping, just never the actual gatekeeping lol
Was chilling with some friends of friends the other week and operating systems came up and one guy said he ran Ubuntu (I’m on KDE Neon) so we started chatting about that and a guy in the back seat said “Hey, aren’t you guys supposed to be fighting?”.
