gotta love the Linux threads on reddit that are like

“hey so I updated my system and now my entire desktop UI looks different. how do I fix this?”

and the comments are all like “this is your fault for not manually reading every single line of apt output every time you update anything. if you were paying attention you would have clearly seen that it was going to install Gnome 3.5.12 which automatically takes control of your entire computer, so this is expected behavior. anyway the fix is to just DRMB the procsys using stdtempfs and if you can’t figure out how to do that you don’t deserve software freedom”

reddit Linux users, I am begging you to realize that most people’s lives do not revolve entirely around tinkering with their computers

@kasdeya freedom requires constant vigilance

@kasdeya I'm pretty sure if I asked for some help with my OS and got told something like this I would cry. I switched to a Linux distro just because I wanted to get away from microslop as an artist I don't actually know all that much about computers

@kasdeya This is exactly how it's like every time I have an issue with Linux. And I'm a professional computer toucher. If I can't figure this shit out, the average user is completely screwed.

@kasdeya

ah yea, getting gnomed ><
