Maybe it's because he is German but are all Arch users that autistic?
>expecting someone using arch and a tiling wm to not be autistic
Isaac Carter
The only arch user I've met was actually far less autistic than me.
Kevin Morgan
>i3 >fastest way to use your computer with your keyboard lmao faggot hasn't heard of automatic tiling
Colton Hall
>German
That explains it. Krauts are loco.
Noah Morris
Well yes but he crushes my expectations. He didn't seem to come from Jow Forums either since he didn't react when I told him that Pacman fucking up was a meme. Does Reddit produce arch+tiling WM autists?
Anthony Edwards
>using i3 in polisci, couple of gnu stickers on laptop >guy notices and makes conversation about his dual boot set up and dev on windows vs gnu/linux >end up talking rest of the term
Stay mad, one day you'll be able to use a tiling wm too
William Diaz
I did for a bit. It's not hard whatsoever but I don't spend enough time in front of my computer to care about minor autistic speed improvements
Julian Diaz
>are all Arch users that autistic? yes. About a month ago i was going on about how I like Manjaro because it's got everything great about arch without all the autism.
So many butt-hurt replies from arch autists trying to rip apart that comment. LULZ
Manjaro is a security risk though. The official autism-free is antergos
John Torres
Arch in itself is a security risk though
Ian Adams
Yes reddit has a large cross-over community with Jow Forums, that's why you see so many idiots here. all the /unixporn/ and /linuxmasterrace/ fags end up here eventually
Samuel Rodriguez
t. ubuntu babby
Matthew Green
There is zero reason to use i3. If you like manual tiling, use ratpoison, or even better, stumpwm. That's what you really want. But for most cases, automatic tiling is probably better.

In my own experience, interacting with fellow users of the Linux operating system, I have sern the highest/worst autism in the Debian community. Not sure why.
Benjamin Hernandez
Linux is a kernel of the GNU operating system, moron
Henry Wilson
Gentoo, in fact.
Nathaniel Ramirez

Jaxon Harris
Don't put words in my mouth, uneducated dolt: when I said The Linux Operating System, I meant The Linux Operating system. Try reading a book before you impose your willful ignorance on your betters.
Nathaniel Campbell
i've never met an arch user irl, it's a Jow Forums meme
Parker Harris

Camden Perry
Linux is a kernel.

Eventually, he left me alone and started playing on his pink smartphone with horse stickers. Fucking zoomers.
Oliver Mitchell
I mean I'm fit, he was the one to sit next to me and he looked like he enjoyed having someone to talk to about his OS. I'm exaggerating for epic yous but he was not the normal one and I'm probably on the spectrum myself
Jeremiah Cox
Reddit
Jayden Walker
myself BTFO
Landon Clark
I see what you mean OP. There is a literal spectrum.
Some spergs you can actually have a fairly normal conversation with and can seem mostly normal
Other spergs you can't even joke or be sarcastic because they take everything so literally to the point where they think they're being attacked. Complete spastics.
Tyler King
not according to tannenbaum or stallings or every other book on operating systems
Nathaniel Roberts
Cute. Now educate the rest of the world.

It's a joke. See

Yes, and they are wrong.

Elijah Sullivan
stop being a pedantic nigger, everybody says and writes linux and not gnu+linux because its easier+faster
Andrew Green
>It's a joke. it's not and you know it faggot
Tyler James
I meant it as a joke and said it with a friendly smile. If you can't tell it's a joke even by just reading the OP, you're probably autism yourself
Leo Russell
can confirm. I'm german and im a super autist
Caleb Powell
i love when people ask me anything about what im doing on my laptop since its a nice opportunity to talk with normies who are curious, why are you so autistic?
Joseph Barnes
back in the day, before autism, we used to have this thing called "banter", it is gentle prodding that makes it easy to make friends by getting awkward shit out of the way first, i wouldnt expect a zoomie like you to understand
Samuel Cruz
gnu is even easier
Austin Lewis
>jokingly ask if Pacman doesn't fuck his xorg up what are you supposed to reply to that? t. autist
Oliver Morris
Die meisten Arch user sound Deutsche abgesehen von Anglos. Das Der Grund warum Anglos und Deutsche solche cucks sind. Intelligente Kapitalistische Marxisten benutzen Gentoo
Adam Parker
**do a little chuckle** **continue to speak in a calm voice** heh...that's funny user. But yeah not really, so far it's been quite the stable distro
Wyatt Turner
"no, I dont buy from the evil Nvidia company"

Aaron Moore
Everyone is laughing, autistanon is seething. Yes, I'm thinking is a good joke.
I'm french, Hans
Jeremiah Green
>Does Reddit produce arch+tiling WM autists? Arch+i3 gets shit on all the time in desktop threads for being a "Jow Forumsunixporn" setup so probably.
>>he mentions how his configs break all the time >>i ask him why that's happening, because i've literally never had that happen >>he starts sperging out about how i'm not "doing it right" Kek, I guess he's just blindly merging config files.
Zachary King
true
But linux is still just a kernel like the other guy said
Michael Myers
what's that.
Owen Myers
>stumpwm
>github wishlist (so not implemented) >float-splits (ie allow floating windows over tiled ones)
This looks inferior to i3, why would you switch. And what is automatic tiling even.
Gavin Rogers
>jokingly ask if Pacman doesn't fuck his xorg up Just because you attempt to veil an insult under the guise of a joke doesn't mean it isn't going to be taken as such, you're the autistic one if you don't realize this. Maybe next time start the conversation off without the intent of disrespect and you might make a friend.
Parker Gonzalez
>say something meaningless about someone's operating system >disrespect them
I never got the clown world meme until now. Is that how American function?
Dominic Ramirez
>meaningless Shitting on someone's package manager and distro isn't meaningless. You are legitimately autistic if you think this would go over well in any scenario regardless of what distro someone uses, completely socially inept.
Adam Myers
You're right, to understand it easily there's the simple thought experiment of replacing "distro" by another personal preference you think matter.
Ryder Gray
Do you realise how autistic you sound? Do you really believe your OS is the extension of yourself? Boomers could tell each other that their car looked like a pain to maintain and have a good laugh/convo about why they use it. Aren't zoom zooms supposed to be more open to banter?
Literally not true. I've had skater comment on my cruiser, asking me how I could enjoy riding something that small. That lead to a discussion about skating and he then invited me to some kind of longboarding mob.
Y'all niggas autistic as fuck
Sebastian Peterson
>Do you realise how autistic you sound? Do you realize where you are? >Y'all niggas No, I suppose you don't.
Josiah Morales
>he doesn't normiepost Embarrassing
Brayden Watson
i3 is normie now. what do you expect with gnome and its derivatives are shit and kde is a bloated mess? arch 10 years ago was autistic, I've been using it since then. it too has become too normieland and I'm switching to void to satisfy my autism
Brandon Ward
arch is normie tier autism but its still autistic
Andrew Bennett
What kind of psychopath would look over someone stranger's shoulder and comment on what he is doing on his laptop.
Colton Reyes
If those boomers are good friends, I'm sure they could have that conversation, but if you walk up to someone you've met for the first time and say "hey man, your car looks like a pain in the ass to maintain" they'll take it poorly. Even if they laugh it off, they'll think you're an asshole for trying to start a conversation off that way. If you don't understand why immediately starting off with a negative comment will fuck up your first impression, you are completely socially inept.
Gavin Price
Wait is it really bad to answer with short sentences? I do this all the time

No, Op is just a self-centered psychopath who thinks the world revolves around him.
Lincoln Sanders
Not the same user but Reddit does have some good subs, which is why a lot of people just use both. It's not like you have to pick one and autistically stick to that.
Jaxson Nguyen
>the unix bandit Fucking lost
Angel Sanders
Stay there.
Jackson Russell
>am I gonna get stabbed for using i3 Max kek
Julian Edwards
Stay there.
Angel Scott
Nah. I'd rather use both.
Jack Evans
Literally started a conversation with the dude sitting next to me during a break. You people cannot even do small talk?
Banter completely died in America? It's still the norm in Europe. That's how to start conversation with all my tinder matches too and it works pretty well. I think mutts have renounced humanity
Fair enough. I'd argue I'm less autistic.
Nolan Parker
>Literally started a conversation with the dude sitting next to me during a break. You people cannot even do small talk? Why would you talk to me when you can clearly see that I'm working on my laptop? Why would you start commenting on my setup?
Imagine me initiating a small talk by commenting on your choice of jeans and saying that they are too big boy for me, and that I personally need to use cargo pants... That's how creepy you were.
Dylan Perez
>are all Arch users that autistic? Yes. They also are all pseuds who don't know shit about distros or what "stable" means.
Ian Clark
It was a break you mong. A B R E A K, he was not working. People never talk to you? Normal people talk to each other.
I didn't even shit on his setup, I was interested, said i3 is cool but is too cool for me (it's not, just making small talk). At this point he should have felt good that not only someone got interested in his hobby but said he was doing advanced stuff.
Are you baiting me by pretending to be autistic or are you further proving my point?
>u r le autism >says the guy who calls referencing Jow Forums memes "making smalltalk"
Alexander Rogers
Stay mad redditor
Hunter Harris
>Fair enough. I'd argue I'm less autistic. Probably, at least based on what you've told. This guy on the other hand
Dominic Gutierrez
I wish someone would comment on my Gentoo + herbst setup, I want friends. fuck I'm ronery.
Colton Brooks
Alright dude you're hopeless.
See? I'd have a convo with that guy.
Parker Cox
Ok tell me how spouting le arch xorg meme is making smalltalk. When you get on an elevator do you go "hey how about that pacman -Syu last night eh?"
Dylan Miller
He sounds no more autistic than you are. And considering it's being told from your perspective I'd bet you were being more spergy in reality.
Parker Morales
Ice breaker, then we talk about GNU/Linux, then we have a convo. I mentioned his OS because it was during a break during a machine learning tutorial, it was highly appropriate.
Stop making retarded anologies. First clothes, now changing the environment we're in from a small class were both in, dotted next to each other doing nothing to a stranger in an elevator? What's next, a food analogy? Would make sense coming from a fat amerilard like you.
David Sullivan
I'm neither american nor the guy who mentioned clothes or the environment. I know it's unbelievable, but there's more than one person thinking you're socially impaired.
Cooper Foster
Eh whatever, it's bed time. I guess all Arch users really are autistic. Notice how in the beginning of the thread no one agrees with you spergs, but as the normal people move on, the autists start posting on the several hours old thread but call me autistic. Good night, incel
