I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer.

    Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?

      What clickbait? Linux boomers is two words and it is common to call people a boomer if they act like one. Linux boomer describes a specific type of boomer.

        I’m sure there is some worthwhile content in there, but I couldn’t discern it through your palpable contempt for the reader.

    This is so incredibly cringe that its downright unreadable. Take your own advise, use whatever you want and shut the fuck up.

    Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

    Then next paragraph…

    I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …

    Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.

    What do I use? Arch Linux.

    BTW

    Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.

    tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…

      When I reached the essentially “I use arch btw” I assumed it was just badly written satire.

        Took ya that long? As soon as they went “That’s right fuckface.”, it was over lol. I knew whatever was gonna follow would be some unhinged shit…and it was, save for that one nugget of wisdom that was thrown in there about shutting up and using what you wanted (that of course, they wouldn’t follow. If they did this wouldn’t exist in the first place)

    I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

    So yeah, Xfce looks the same as it did 10 years ago.

    And?

    Desktop environment is meant to launch apps and give me windows and maybe have a file manager. Xfce does that. It’s a desktop environment.

    Hey, “modern” desktop environment enthusiasts, if you bring Compiz back from the dead, give us luddites a call, will you? Ohhhh you kids should have seen it back in the day. Windows and Mac users saw Compiz in action and were, like, “wat.” You don’t get them to react that way to modern Linux desktops, no. And all that is lost now. Thanks Wayland.

    I’m strong. I’m no boomer. Please love me.
