For non technical readers :
the programming language “Rust” is being used more to make new Linux kernels.
Traditionally, the main language for that use was the one by the name “c”.
They’re talking to me. I use Mint. I’ve never opened the terminal. Just because some of us aren’t savvy doesn’t mean we aren’t at least casually interested. You could totally be joking too, I guess.
I still don’t get why Mint with it’s legacy Cinnamon desktop is recommended to new Linux users. Even Debian stable with a modern Gnome or Plasma desktop would do more justice to the growing FOSS ecosystem. Or go with Fedora which I recommend to all Linux/FOSS-newbs.
This is a meme, but my strong opinion at the same time. Go with Mint/Cinnamon as long as you like; you’ll make your own experiences and it is part of Linux/FOSS, too.
Man, your attitude is why Linux is still so fringe. That purity test shit is a real turn off.
For a casual user like myself, all that matters is my computer boots, is navigable and runs programs that do what I need. Mint/Cinnamon does that. It does it with no fuss. And every time some great FOSS warrior comes along to tell me it’s not Linux enough I like it even more. I’m not interested in distro hopping, at all. To be really honest, I’m not interested in my computer. I just use it.

Surely the main language is still c?
Non-technical readers? In my Linux memes community??

Actually …

Not using WindowsOS/MacOS is a very big step for them and FOSS
so please don’t care that much about distros :) and see the bright side: They are not using WindowsOS/MacOS

It’s a joke, yeah. Well, or rather a meme. This was a real advertisement, before it got memed on pretty hard:
It’s more likely than you think.
