With respect, you post wasn't very condescending.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoHere’s my fix: “Oh, please. People don’t _actually use_ macs while drinking their lattes anymore (except maybe ironically). Lenovo (running Windows with the Linux Subsystem enabled) is the only halfway decent way to get work done. Unless of course you’re one of those hipsters running Arch. I’ve been meaning to try that, actually.” -actual 2019 computing hipster, probably
- wbl 7y agoHipsters are defined by the obscure and retro, so would probably use an Eclipse.
- alchemism 7y ago“Lenovo running Windows with WSL” is _so_ 2017.
- zenhack 7y agoWait, is Arch back to being a hipster thing? I thought we'd graduated to well-known distro. I've been using Arch since '06, back when Judd was still in charge and the repos were divided up in terms of "stuff Judd maintains" and "stuff other devs maintain." It was this small community project that nobody had really heard about, and I got so used to it just not being a thing that when (sometime in the range of '10 - '12?) folks started talking about it as a hipster thing, it really took me by surprise. A few years later it seemed like it was just one of the more well known "hands on" distros with great docs, and I was glad to have that phase be done with.
- doubleunplussed 7y agoA recent survey of /r/linux users even had Arch as the most commonly used distro. I know it's not an unbiased sample and that Ubuntu is probably the most widely used all up, but it was still a surprise. Arch is mainstream - for a Linux distro.
- jvinet 7y agoAh, those were the days.
- steveklabnik 7y agoI switched to Windows (no WSL) a few years back, and have been making the joke that real hipsters use Windows natively these days ever since.
- skrebbel 7y agoActually, it's all there. You're just too daft to see it.
