I didn't know that
also 600th post

Here are some of my followers!

I joined: 5 years, 9 months, 24 days ago (31/03/2018)
I have: 479 followers
In total, I have attained: 1,403 loves, 1,145 favourites, and 33,731 views.
Fun Fact: If my account continued to gain followers at a similar rate to right now, in 14,210 years I would reach the number of followers griffpatch has today! Try to imagine how many followers he would have then!
Thank you everyone!

I've used Linux for 2.5 years, since you use MacOS I could only assume you knew some of this at least?

It's getting kinda annoying prioritizing one thing over the other when choosing a Linux distro, when I need them all.

I give up - Been daily driving Linux for a couple months, doesn't seem to work out for me.

I broke my arch linux VM yesterday after updating it…
it'll probably take the whole weekend to fix

Also Debian VMs contantly break by changing the wallpaper of all things lol
Weekend? I think it actually takes like 5-10 minutes to reinstall.

I said REPAIR, not reinstall. Like actually reinstall a bunch of broken packages or stuff.

I've dealt with broken packages and package systems before (always in Ubuntu lmao), trust me it's not worth putting in hours to fix it. It is a complete pain!

The only component I've ever had driver issues with is Intel wireless adapters… what distribution are you using to define all 500+ distributions.

They don't deserve to be in this topic - I'm here because Linux is epic.

ironically this topic had open source in the title a few days ago, MagicCrayon9342 why did you change it?

April Fools' topics:

— New Buildings in Scratch's headquarters
— Give every Scratcher an M1 MacBook Air
— Scratch should let users edit other Scratchers' projects
— Make a statue for Jeffalo
— Scratch Tech Tips™
— Make a Chiroyce statue emoji
