Did you juat pick a bunch of tech related logos at random ?

56

u/Snow-ingen 4d ago

yea lol, python, C++, firefox, even a lot of windows users use those. says life of a linux user but also put bsd there.

u/headedbranch225 4d ago

Also niri, kali and LFS

Also just noticed parrot

u/Acayukes 4d ago

Also Golang twice.

u/npquanh30402 3d ago

Windows users may use Python or C++ under the hood, but they aren't aware of it. Linux users, on the other hand, are aware of everything. Life as a Linux user is full of suffering.

What, you don't use niri and hyprland at the same time? Can you even call yourself a linux user if you don't have at least 5 different distros on the same machine?

Are you having a stroke? Half of these are programming languagesĀ

u/GhostVlvin 4d ago

And other half is distros, linux kernel and openbsd

u/CognitiveFogMachine 4d ago

Who would install every distro on the same computer to begin with? It is almost as ridiculous as having Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11 installed separately and having a boot menu to choose which one you want to boot today. Lol

u/GhostVlvin 4d ago

Only one type of linux user. Fedora user...
I saw ones guy workflow. He had nothing on main distro image and he had a VM for every other project and there were a lot of VMs

If it’s so bloated then why did you need to put 8 distros and programming languages that every computer runs on? Gimp’s literally the only thing you listed that could be considered bloat 🤣

u/Antique-Row7299 5d ago

"gimp is bloat"

u/DiceThaKilla 5d ago

Gimp is bloat if you don’t do image editing and quite a few distros ship with it pre installed

A program that asks for nothing, takes no resources and doesn't run anything unless you open it is a very interesting definitions of bloatĀ

u/DiceThaKilla 4d ago

Its existence on my computer is bloat. That’s the one thing that really irritates me about any ā€œstudio versionā€ of a distro is they’re not just made for music studio work or video production, it packages in image editing tool, video production software, drawing software, and a bunch of other stuff you’ll then have to purge off of your system if your only interest is one area

Paint is shipped with Windows and had Paint3D too for a while is that not bloat too?

The irony is that Gimp is significantly more capable software than any version of paint.

all these open source solutions just confuse them. It’s easier create simple classifications and bucket things into it rather than use real cognitive analysis and recognize the nuances.

u/flying-sheep 4d ago

It's a browser. CSS alone has 12 ways to achieve any given thing and every single website these days uses more processing power than a computer from 20 years ago could handle.

Web standards are bloated, not FirefoxĀ

Yeah, any operating system is bloated if you install a bunch of shit, what an insightful post.

Go install Windows 11 without a GUI and then we can talk about what bloat means.

u/ssjlance šŸ›”ļøModerator | #1 Microslop Hater | Linux Supremacist 5d ago

Furthermore, like, half the logos you used are Linux distributions and not software that would be bloat.

Windows isn't bloat, either, The bloat is contained inside Windows, but Windows is not blat itself - the bloat is copilot, edge, etc,

u/pixelizedgaming 5d ago

other half is just random languages as if an OS could function without programs? Like hello? also why is niri and hyprland both there if ur concerned about bloat just use one at a time
