Cool Linux Things

[Sensai]

I just wanted to start another fun thread. If you have used linux share with us some of the fun cool things you did with your linux box. I guess I can start this show...
I took the Canadian keyboard configuration on my Slackware box, and made it 1337. I think it was shift/tab to get back to standard american keyboard and back to leet again. I did this about 7-8 years ago.

What am I missing out on with linux?

There's all sorts of things you can do with any OS, it's impossible to list them all. That said, here's the absolute top of the list, essential to the linux experience: Listening to RMS and his following Shitposting in Windows 10 threads Googling graphics driver problems Getting told it works fine in Arch Emphatically insisting that some part of your distro you never touch is better than an alternative you've never used Opening Github issues Dropping Ubuntu forever Getting tricked into using wine Complaining that you're having problems dual-booting Shouting about privacy and security when you have no concept of either in practice Installing windows in a VM to play games with a noticeable decline in performance Installing linux on old computers and never using them again Complaining about Ubuntu's QC standards and Canonical's practices Buying a raspberry Pi Soul crushing self loathing Arguing over which CLI text editor is designed better Altering your GUI to the point that it becomes unuseable for anyone but yourself The rush of a failed boot after an upgrade Being disappointed in your Raspberry Pi Tricking new users into trying to set up their own passthrough VM Trying to sell your Raspberry Pi Arguing with other linux users about which distro is best for [INSERT_USE_CASE] Telling people it works fine in arch Buying linux merch Complete social isolation Putting your Raspberry Pi in storage permanently Telling someone every 10 minutes you use linux Buying an outdated thinkpad Installing Gentoo Laughing at RMS and his following Becoming increasingly jaded and platform agnostic And many more!
