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.

    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.

    You should really take your own advice on this one. That “article” was juvenile.

    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.

    Your dissapointment about your own existence bleeds into the article, just shut the fuck up at this point :/

    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.

    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.

    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.
