Things We’re Tired of Hearing from Linux Users

Filed under
Linux

Now hear this: From now on, Linux fans can just retire these tired old lines, because they have been officially declared to not work any more!

There aren’t any viruses or malware that run on Linux. Well, la de freaking da, there aren’t any games that run on Linux either, what’s your point? Coincidentally, no attempts have been made to break into the Porta-John at the construction site down the road, but many people have tried to break into banks. That proves that Porta-Johns have better security than banks!!!

Linux is free as in freedom, I mean free as in liberty, I mean free as in beer… Free as in speech, free as in butterflies, free as in cholera, free as in copies of Photoshop on PirateBay.org, etc. Hey, I have a bright idea: why don’t you just pick a new adjective that doesn’t have twenty meanings???

This license is freer than that one, no wait, Sun’s license is freer than BSD, no, wait, the GPL3 is freer than the GPL2, no it isn’t!

Full Load of Crap.




What I hate about linux users

What I hate most about Linux users is the whining about the lack of games.
Not all of us are still kids who still play computer games.

Things We’re Tired of Hearing from Stupid People

anybody who is so keen on playing PC video games (to the extent that he stucks himself with windows) is what i like to call a useless geek, a useless geek is like sucking even at being a geek.

the rest of the article is just a huge pile of crap, the writer doesn't even know what the hell he's talking about. i'm with him on the tux500 thing though, what the heck were they thinking?

re: stupid people

So I guess I'm now a useless geek, just because I like to play FPS's???

Of course, I've always considered myself more of a science nerd instead of a tech geek so I don't really mind.

Nice to see the Linux Fanboys coming out with their Open Source - Closed Mind mantra's.

Relax people - we're talking (ya know, what civilized people do) about a OS.

'a useless geek is like

'a useless geek is like sucking even at being a geek'
LOL, sorry to say but I appreciate how Geeks are referred to as socially inept so this makes me laugh

tux500, failure from the word go imo god knows how people thought that would work, hope everyone got their money back or their money went to a good cause

OK am a student so I have a lot of free time (esp over summer) but a good fps is a way to blow off some frustration that avoids dealing with people when you don't want to, always nice to have at least one or two games like that to blow off steam as you were

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
