Maybe it's because he is German but are all Arch users that autistic?

The only arch user I've met was actually far less autistic than me.

lmao faggot hasn't heard of automatic tiling

>German

That explains it. Krauts are loco.

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?

Stay mad, one day you'll be able to use a tiling wm too

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

>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

Arch in itself is a security risk though

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

t. ubuntu babby

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.

>knowing plebbit boards
You're one of them, go back fucktard

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.

Linux is a kernel of the GNU operating system, moron

Gentoo, in fact.

>knowledge bad

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.

i've never met an arch user irl, it's a Jow Forums meme

Time to go back

Linux is a kernel.

Eventually, he left me alone and started playing on his pink smartphone with horse stickers. Fucking zoomers.

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

Reddit

myself BTFO

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.

not according to tannenbaum or stallings or every other book on operating systems

Cute. Now educate the rest of the world.

stop being a pedantic nigger, everybody says and writes linux and not gnu+linux because its easier+faster

>It's a joke.
it's not and you know it faggot

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

can confirm.
I'm german and im a super autist

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?

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

gnu is even easier

>jokingly ask if Pacman doesn't fuck his xorg up
what are you supposed to reply to that?
t. autist

Die meisten Arch user sound Deutsche abgesehen von Anglos. Das Der Grund warum Anglos und Deutsche solche cucks sind. Intelligente Kapitalistische Marxisten benutzen Gentoo

**do a little chuckle**

a joke is funny you austists

>Maybe it's because he is German
amerilards will never get it, will they?

Everyone is laughing, autistanon is seething. Yes, I'm thinking is a good joke.

I'm french, Hans

>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.

true

But linux is still just a kernel like the other guy said

what's that.

>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.

>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.

>say something meaningless about someone's operating system
>disrespect them

I never got the clown world meme until now. Is that how American function?

>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.

You're right, to understand it easily there's the simple thought experiment of replacing "distro" by another personal preference you think matter.

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

>Do you realise how autistic you sound?
Do you realize where you are?
>Y'all niggas
No, I suppose you don't.

>he doesn't normiepost
Embarrassing

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

arch is normie tier autism but its still autistic

What kind of psychopath would look over someone stranger's shoulder and comment on what he is doing on his laptop.

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.

Wait is it really bad to answer with short sentences? I do this all the time

This

You both seem pretty autistic

No, Op is just a self-centered psychopath who thinks the world revolves around him.

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.

>the unix bandit
Fucking lost

Stay there.

>am I gonna get stabbed for using i3
Max kek

Stay there.

Nah. I'd rather use both.

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.

>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.

>are all Arch users that autistic?
Yes. They also are all pseuds who don't know shit about distros or what "stable" means.

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?

I feel personally insulted by this.

>u r le autism

Stay mad redditor

>Fair enough. I'd argue I'm less autistic.
Probably, at least based on what you've told. This guy on the other hand

I wish someone would comment on my Gentoo + herbst setup, I want friends.
fuck I'm ronery.

Alright dude you're hopeless.

See? I'd have a convo with that guy.

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?"

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.

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.

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.

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

At first I thought you were talking to people IRL, but then I realised you're a zoomer spaz who can't into friends.

imagined getting counter trolled in your own thread. I guess the arch user wasn’t the only autistic one.

Good thread

You don’t meet anyone IRL

If somebody asked me about pacman bitting xorg and fucking up my meetings, I'd laugh and send them the Mint Tank picture later.
