I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer.

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
You should really take your own advice on this one. That “article” was juvenile.

Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?
What clickbait? Linux boomers is two words and it is common to call people a boomer if they act like one. Linux boomer describes a specific type of boomer.
I’m sure there is some worthwhile content in there, but I couldn’t discern it through your palpable contempt for the reader.
This is so incredibly cringe that its downright unreadable. Take your own advise, use whatever you want and shut the fuck up.
“I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words”
Let me guess… you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?
This is the contempt I’m talking about.
The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.
Nah, I just treat them like equals :)
Which is the same as “despise”
So basically, “they’re trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I’m gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn’t the latest bleeding edge stuff?”
Cuz that’s what i get outta that whole, article…that and that you really, really like to swear.
Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It’s the boomers who get triggered.
Uncharitability to those you disagree with, style without substance, and all built upon thought-terminating cliches.
This isn’t helpful or enlightening or informative, it’s entertaining but not in an interesting nor original way. It reminds me of 2010s Reddit memes where everything was about adding as many “fucks” as possible because our moms aren’t supervising our internet time anymore. It espouses a consoomer mindset of “gotta have bigger numbers and shinier visuals because all that matters is appealing to lizard-brain.”
And it’s all couched in the obvious mindset that any criticism will be met with “ok boomer” (I’ll almost be insulted if I don’t get one) because being superior is more important than being right. Y’know… like a boomer?
You’ve got a point, focus on that: you can make the case that Linux fits your use case, or that certain mindsets within the Linux community are hindering progress. But please do so in a way that doesn’t just lend itself to more infighting and drama. That shit is for shallow people who have nothing to contribute and only serve as the cultural detritus that destroys communities and community-driven projects.
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
Then next paragraph…
I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …
Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.
What do I use? Arch Linux.
BTW
Its a blog
You should lose that “l” young man, because that’s what it is.
“young man” rofl
failed at reading comprehension? check
“rofl” as you want. We know your mental age and how broken your toilet mind is. You probably get some professional help to fix that. Just don’t laugh at that. It’s no joke.
Look at the username.
JaneTheMotherfucker ain’t a dude, dude
I guess I should’ve used lass. Anyway.
Thank you =)
And here you are. Not shutting up.
Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.
tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…
When I reached the essentially “I use arch btw” I assumed it was just badly written satire.
Took ya that long? As soon as they went “That’s right fuckface.”, it was over lol. I knew whatever was gonna follow would be some unhinged shit…and it was, save for that one nugget of wisdom that was thrown in there about shutting up and using what you wanted (that of course, they wouldn’t follow. If they did this wouldn’t exist in the first place)
Wow edgy.

This article is an example of the “appeal to novelty” fallacy. “It’s newer, therefore it MUST be better.”
I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.
I am still sad my laptop from 2007 (Compal FL90) died earlier this year. It was still pretty powerful, and really full of ports. I could even add USB3 ports with express card if I wanted to. And unlike with modern laptops, the keyboard had some travel.
Currently I use HP 255 G7. I wasn’t using it because that old laptop simply suited me better. It’s fine, but… I am still looking for a cheap used ThinkPad. But it does have a DVD drive, so that’s nice (yes, I do use that).
So yeah, Xfce looks the same as it did 10 years ago.
And?
Desktop environment is meant to launch apps and give me windows and maybe have a file manager. Xfce does that. It’s a desktop environment.
Hey, “modern” desktop environment enthusiasts, if you bring Compiz back from the dead, give us luddites a call, will you? Ohhhh you kids should have seen it back in the day. Windows and Mac users saw Compiz in action and were, like, “wat.” You don’t get them to react that way to modern Linux desktops, no. And all that is lost now. Thanks Wayland.
Your dissapointment about your own existence bleeds into the article, just shut the fuck up at this point :/
Where does that come from? I’m awesome.

Blocking them didn’t even do shit because when they got banned from lemmy.world for spamming this shit they just immediately made an account on another instance, sidestepping the ban and sidestepping people fucking blocking them.
That’s abusive, should be bannable behavior, from every instance.
EDIT: They were also the last person banned from this forum six days ago. So six days later, they come back with the same username, but different instance, with same post. This is officially abusive.

Lemmy.world deleted it on their Linux group because they’re idiots.
This is satire, right?
