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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Read through the article. Well… words were said sure. Were they well written words? I’d argue not. I get the sentiment, use what works for you. This article isn’t informative, it just calls the reader a fuckface among a slurry of other lame insults. If it was supposed to be funny, the humor isn’t my brand.

    I like using arch, and I like using and testing out what’s new.

    Stable doesn’t mean old, and it doesn’t mean better or worse. Stable is stating that it has been tested, arguably thoroughly tested.

    This article did nothing but waste the readers time. Nothing was gained from this.

    I think a boomer wrote the article.

    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)

    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.
