A real Linux boi would rewrite the program from scratch custom tailored to his personal needs.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I run Arch , by the way.

[–] manofdiamond@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

I use gentoo, fyi

i feel so incompetent compared to other linux users, like i didnt even know flatpak had a repair command until today

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a total fraud. I've used Linux Mint a few times, so now I can say I'm a Linux user.

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Exactly the same with me. Very occasional Mint user. I will never touch Win11, so when Win10 hits EoL I'm screwed if I haven't learned to deal with the friction of learning Linux.

I may end up regressing to a PC-less monke until I figure it out. Windows can kiss my primate ass.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Same (after reading this comment). Flatpak is some new fangled contraption. /s

A person can't know everything.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

Feh.

The only flatpacks I trust are made in Sweden.

Meanwhile I'm over here, not used windows on my own machine in more than 1.75 years and I don't even touch the terminal most of the time, I know how some commands work, but I hardly touch them

I should really learn to do more with it, but I have my system setup and working how I like, So I don't really have motivation to learn to do all this other cool stuff

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've been using linux for 10 or 11 years and I also didn't know flatpak had a repair command, so don't feel too bad

Until remember patient exists and legally cannot create another copy. Sure you made one yourself but can never release it to the public.

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Even without that, things can go really bad:

  1. You're the only developer, then you burn out on the project.
  2. You underbake the UI so much your project becomes infamous for how hard it is to use, complete with an elitist userbase that just screams "git gud" memes at everyone asking for help (most often happens to dev tools).

The rare occasion, it'll become like Krita, modern Blender, Audacity, etc.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ha you think I can possibly code a UI ? Command line only. Maybe curses if absolutely necessary.

Still under baked...

S2g linux users are their own worst enemies

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

If you aren't creating custom software to address one-off needs, are you really a Linux user?
