My brother in Christ, if there was such a thing as an open source car that I can build from scratch, I’d buy it.
Most the shit on this sub is stupid, but I have to admit this one gave me a chuckle, even if it is a little mischaracterizing Linux.
Edit: also, guitar hero basically already does exist on Linux (and Windows and Mac) it’s called Clone Hero
The OP is also the mod and sole poster of this community, and they really enjoy deleting comments and banning people.
Clone Hero?
Frets On Fire if I may!
Looking through this sub as a Linux fan is like looking through any other post on Lemmy as a Windows user.
Like most jokes here, this one is just very outdated. I have literally never had to compile a package myself.
I honestly can’t tell if this place is a joke, it seems like literally one or two users with serious hate boners for Linux lmao. The vast, vast majority of posts are posted by OP here.

It’s a joke… But okay, let’s talk about Linux, I guess.
How seriously does this community hate linux? Is this a fun place or an angry place?
I just found it, and I love that it exists. I like Linux, but the fans are insufferable on Lemmy.
mint enters the chat
Linux Bazzite.
You bought a neck with the frets already on?
Amateur.
And tree is already cut down? Arch user btw
Clearly this guy doesn’t Arch Linux.
I would actually consider buying this as a kit. It would make for a fun project
This sub is fantastic, thank you for your hard work
The same with people who insist it’s easy to build my own gaming PC. I’m sure it’s easy to build a ps5 with all the parts as well, but I DON’T WANT TO BUILD MY OWN ELECTRONICS. I don’t care how easy they claim it is. Unless it comes out of the box, ready to plug in, I’m not interested. I don’t have the patience to go through hours of tutorials
lmao this comment is pathetic. Putting together a pc is not ‘building your own electronics’, its plugging parts into marked slots. Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.
I AM NOT INTERESTED!! I don’t want an Ikea version of gaming machine. I have zero desire in doing it.
Which components into what slot? What brand and models? That’s enough for me to avoid it. I don’t want to do it, even if it’s easy
Building computers is really like LEGO. Building a bike is more complicated.
Preconfigured computers contain mostly garbage tier hardware components and additionally are way overpriced.
If you are content with that, loss is on you.
It’s not like Lego at all. Unless it all comes in the same box, with all the instructions. Have you ever built a Lego set? You don’t buy the pieces separately, hope they’re compatible and go on YouTube to find the instructions.
In want case, read my comments: I DON’T CARE, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN PUTTING TOGETHER MY OWN TV , WHY WOULD I WANT TO PUT TOGETHER A PC?! I don’t care how simple it is. I could put together my own burger as well but I rather the people at McDonald’s do it.
It’s not like Lego at al
You’re right! Unlike Lego the pieces aren’t interchangeable, so you really only need the basic skill of “square peg go in square hole” to do it, unlike Lego pieces fitting together at basically any angle so long as the holes touch
Shame you missed out on preschool education
LOL. “I am disinterested in doing [a thing] that I don’t have to do.”
“Hurr hurr, ur pathetic.”
Good fucking christ, this person isn’t into building computers. The opinion expressed is utterly harmless and their personal preference. You are free to build all the computers you want.
Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.
Oh, yeah, anything can be super easy for people are interested in and experienced with doing that thing.
Building a computer properly is way more than “plugging parts into marked slots,” and your comment is disingenuous at best. RAM timings, socket types, cooling selection, power supply selection, wire routing and dressing, version/generation conflicts, Red vs Blue, will the GPU even fit in this computer case, counterfeit parts… And this is all before the thing is plugged in.

PCPartPicker.com exists, handles all this for you with giant “you missed something” red text if something won’t work, and is one of the most commonly suggested beginner tools. If someone’s complaining about being told to build their own, theyve been told about that tool
People get scared of a very simple task because people like you spread nonsense that makes it sound hard
Why man? Just don’t use Linux then, ffs. This is like complaining why anyone would want to drive a motorbike when cars exist
and this is ignoring the fact that even most grandma of people can use Ubuntu
most grandma of people can use Ubuntu
If and only if it works out of the box. My last attempt at Ubunutu (about a year ago) lasted 20 minutes because it couldn’t connect to the WiFi during setup, claiming a wrong password. Even though the password was 100% correct.
I don’t care if it’s the hardware manufacturer’s fault or driver programmer’s fault or God’s spite. If Ubuntu cannot get these things right, and Windows (or even Linux Mint) can, then Granny won’t use it.
I switched my geriatric mother over to Ubuntu last year. I haven’t heard a single complaint from her about any of it.
You’re in the wrong community buddy
But he’s right, tho.
