Time to switch to BSD /s
Actually, I have been leaning towards BSD for the past year or so, so it might not be such a bad idea.
which bsd?
NetBSD most likely, it supports the arches I’m after.

Even tho I hate Elon I have to agree with you. He literally doesn’t care about anything. Ia that good for him? No.
He may be billionaire or drag queen or whatever
You left out bigot and fascist.
Is it because there’s no “may” about it?
Yeah if he was a cartoon character I’d be down with him, but he’s a cartoon villain
I have a disdain for Elon but I want to thank you for saying that you do like him. Makes this place less of an echo chamber.
I guess good on you for not having the will to analyze anything beyond the surface level?
All the childish stuff he does aside, if that wasn’t enough, my problem with him is that he’s actively promoting fascist and undermining the working class.
This mother fucker has all the money in the world and he’s not content to do the kid dream stuff you describe, he’s actively helping fascist spread misinformation and is actively fighting against good wages and conditions for the working class.
So yea, fuck Elon and pretty much all of the rest of the billionaires.
Being on the right side of the political spectrum doesn’t mean you’re fascist just like being on the left side doesn’t mean you’re communist.
This is true, but Elon is actively helping facism. He actively supports fascism. Why did he compared a Jewish Billionaire to some Jewish comic villain? Why does he Actively support the AfD(German extreme Right wing party(that wants to deportate “foreigners” to some African state))? There are more examples, but this are the two I immediately thougjt of.
Big example- the “free speech absolutist” does any sort of censorship and banning Modi’s fascist Indian government requests.
The nice thing about Linux is, he can’t buy it and fuck it up.
He can still fuck up the community.
How?
He’ll claim he invented it
Well, he at least invented X11…
Let me put it to you this way.
Elon Musk fanboys, now running arch.
Just… Let that simmer for a minute.
Anyone smart enough to run Arch is smart enough to recognize Elon is an imbecile.
you literally have to run installation script or follow instructions from arch wiki. slap some de to it and you’re good. doesn’t take a smart person to do.
to properly maintain it for longer periods forever though, takes some more skill.
Maybe nowadays, with Elon’s imbecility so publicly visible.
I’ve run Arch for close to 10 years, and was pretty jazzed by Musk in the early days of his presiding over Tesla and Space X. Then again, I was barely an adult at the time, and I hadn’t yet come across the first reports of terrible working conditions and his overall shittyness as a manager/exec.
A lot of people forget how overwhelmingly, insanely popular Musk was with way too online nerds. He was reddit’s golden child for years. Part of this is that whenever Disney started releasing the Marvel movies, beginning with Iron Man, Musk was front and center as the core inspiration for Tony Stark (yes, I’m serious, the director and Robert Downey Jr. basically went on record as saying as much) and he fucking milked that shit. It’s also important to understand that for a time he was seen as a forward looking entrepreneur whose business was “going to help save the planet by making electric cars so popular that every car manufacturer would switch to electric vehicle production to keep up.” If Musk was a genius at one thing, it was manipulating public perception of himself and his enterprises. It took years of him being a thin-skinned weirdo and massive corporate tool to undo the amount of positive sentiment he’d built for himself and Tesla.
NixOs has entered the chat
As a complete idiot who uses arch on her main PC, I can attest that you don’t have to be particularly smart to use it.
But do you recognize Musk as an imbecile? If you do you’re smarter than you think.
Take it from me, people who openly say they’re idiots usually aren’t. Socrates: I now know I know nothing.
Popularize among his follower base and make it cringe to use Linux
Just like chromium is safe from Google?
Chromium was, however, a Google product from the very beginning that Google open-sourced themselves. Linux is too big with too many non-profit and for-profit companies and tons of independent individuals participating in its development for one person or company to control it outright.
I mean, sure, for profit companies like Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical do have some influence but not so much that you can’t ignore their contributions if you don’t like them.
For example, some ubuntu based distros (i.e Mint) circumvent snap from being installed the ubuntu way (without asking) because it goes against their philosophy. And if that’s still too much Ubuntu for you, there’s a Debian Edition of mint. And if that’s still too same-y for you, there are dozens of other distros based on slackware, rhel/fedora, arch, Gentoo, etc. There even are Linux distros without GNU.
So, unless Muskiboy buys Linus Torvalds, I think the Linux community could easily ignore him building his own xOS.
You say that, but I’ll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.
For extra irony, sell him an NFT to the source code.
a broken clock is right twice a day
Not sure what relevance a broken clock has to the discussion or the OP.
It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.
rare times he’s been right about something.
Started a space company, and an EV company. Both longshots, both wildly successful.
Bought Twitter. Laid of 80% of the employees. Still runs totally fine.
Your position is nakedly indefensible. I’d be curious what you think he’s actually wrong about.
I feel they are criticizing his actions morally rather than financially.
No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.
And, how does what you said cancel out what you responded to?
He could always learn it. Maybe go to his local community college and take a programming class. He could take an intro physics class as well. Might help him out.
If he had any part in Tesla productions, he already would. Or any part of SpaceX.
He’s a funny guy.

No musk, go away, leave linix alone <insert that meme of leave britney alone, but with linux>
Do teslas run android, or something else? Elon encouraging the use of Linux isn’t surprising, but if his vehicles and sattelites we’rent also using Linux, I’d be more surprised.
Letting this dude put you off something is just as pathetic as letting him put you onto something.
That makes Twitter Superman64
I cannot believe this post. This isn’t real, right?
Oh yeah, it is.
How is this possible? Is linux really going mainstream now (If so, Musk freeloading on it is inevitable)
It has been getting a lot of attention the past few years thanks to the enshittification of Windows and Linux being able to run on anything. Also, now it’s very usable, even for newer hardware, which wasn’t always the case.
These comments are insane. Even Hitler washed his hands. Are you gonna stop doing that just cause a piece of shit agreed it was good?
A red spy is in the base! 🚨
A red spy is in the base?!
Hut hut hut hut hut!
Protect the briefcase!
Yo, little help here?
Stand back son!
(Types on keypad) 1 1 1… Err… 1!
Damn it I was just going to get into Linux!
Sorry Elon you, specifically, have to go to space before getting involved in Linux. It’s the Shuttleworth law.
The Space Shuttleworth law?
He’s not wrong
A broken clock is right twice a day?
I think he sees the decline of Windows like everyone else. He is in the tech space you know. It is kind of ironic that he is complaining about Microsoft. Tesla has its own issues.
Like a fucking herald of doom I hear about new vulnerabilities on some Linux distros the day after I see this dipshit talking about it.
Script kiddies also follow him 🤷.
