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.

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.

“I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words”
Let me guess… you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?
- vzq ( @vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•9 months ago
This is the contempt I’m talking about.
The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.
Nah, I just treat them like equals :)

Which is the same as “despise”
- MrBubbles96 ( @MrBubbles96@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months ago
So basically, “they’re trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I’m gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn’t the latest bleeding edge stuff?”
Cuz that’s what i get outta that whole, article…that and that you really, really like to swear.
Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It’s the boomers who get triggered.

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.
- BaumGeist ( @BaumGeist@lemmy.ml ) 2•9 months ago
Uncharitability to those you disagree with, style without substance, and all built upon thought-terminating cliches.
This isn’t helpful or enlightening or informative, it’s entertaining but not in an interesting nor original way. It reminds me of 2010s Reddit memes where everything was about adding as many “fucks” as possible because our moms aren’t supervising our internet time anymore. It espouses a consoomer mindset of “gotta have bigger numbers and shinier visuals because all that matters is appealing to lizard-brain.”
And it’s all couched in the obvious mindset that any criticism will be met with “ok boomer” (I’ll almost be insulted if I don’t get one) because being superior is more important than being right. Y’know… like a boomer?
You’ve got a point, focus on that: you can make the case that Linux fits your use case, or that certain mindsets within the Linux community are hindering progress. But please do so in a way that doesn’t just lend itself to more infighting and drama. That shit is for shallow people who have nothing to contribute and only serve as the cultural detritus that destroys communities and community-driven projects.

Hope this is satirical, cause otherwise I hate to say it but you’re also a boomer.
It’s not hip to hate on things.

Oh content from this blog has been popping up in random places. Methinks it’s le epic trole.
I just want to post my epic opinions in places where they matter.
Lemmy.world deleted it on their Linux group because they’re idiots.

To quote the author himself:
Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.
But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn’t use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.
Another fool who thinks I’m a guy

You should really take your own advice on this one. That “article” was juvenile.
- TheImpressiveX ( @TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months ago
This article is an example of the “appeal to novelty” fallacy. “It’s newer, therefore it MUST be better.”

hey u sound a bit angy, is everything allgoods?
Yes, I’m just the best.

For someone who hates these “Linux boomers”, you’re using Wordpress, which uses the good old PHP.
Shouldn’t you be working on your own minimal Gopher website or something like Rust-SWC, with all that fancy hydration and hybrid SSR-SSG framework?
People can have opinions. You, on the other hand, need to mind your business.
And yes, I’ll take your advice and move over to Guix. Shepherd and Guille looks pretty fine to me.
Your dissapointment about your own existence bleeds into the article, just shut the fuck up at this point :/
Where does that come from? I’m awesome.

Seems like you just found an excuse for your unnecessary invectiveness. You probably think you’re funny or you’re trolling. This is not even trolling, not even fourth-class bait material. Maybe you should try Kali, suits your attitude more.
