And then they touch weiners and let the streams cross!!
Slackware was my very first Linux distro (now I feel old).
Me too! Slackware 1.0 installed by floppy disk … so much faff the first time to get X to load, and then the only thing I could do with it was to run xeyes.
Emacs was 5 floppies, the C compiler was about 11.
I had someone ask me what os I used, then when I said Linux he went “oh you could only go 10 minutes without saying you used Linux huh” and I’m just like dude you literally asked, wtf do you want from me
Without knowing your dynamic or their tone:
They probably just wanted to poke fun and baited you into setting it up. It’s kinda like updog or ligma.Of course, it could also be ignorance, or malice, but personally, I don’t randomly ask people what OS they use unless I expect them to even understand that question. Their reply suggests they are well aware that you’re using Linux, so ignorance is unlikely, and if they knew your answer and didn’t want to hear it, they probably wouldn’t ask.
What’s updog?
Not much, what’s up with you?
I use Ubuntu and no I’m not going to switch to mint. I use Debian on the server though.
