@RL_Dane now that was fun!

Eternal n00b, as in eternally curious. Who'd wake up and think about compiling on Slackware? Any doctors around?

New blog post, everyone!

"Time for a new 'Geek Code'!"
https://rldane.space/time-for-a-new-geek-code.html

This one was inspired by a recent @thelinuxcast video on @tilvids (), so definitely check that out too (linked in the blog).

My : g4 b6 u2 a1 s1 r6 n3
(short form: lgc: 04621163)

What's up, my chorus?

@RL_Dane Interesting grouping. I'm not sure which categories would be strongest for me. I started with Linux around 2016, love Arch but am far from elitist, love that I can game on Linux but don't actually do much of it, and use Linux for more pragmatic reasons than idealistic.

Maybe something like "g0 b0 u0 a2 s2 r2 n2" would describe me.

I think you know what you like by now! Make your and share it with the world!

...

On a serious note, I don't think listing every major distro would be terribly conducive to a . I might even make a revised version that takes out specific distro names and uses something generic like "I tend to use very user-friendly distros," and "I like distros that teach you something about the system you're setting up, and don't hold your hand too much."

I'd leave the u and the a for compatibility, and as a wink.

@RL_Dane It's a nice idea but it's good to have concrete values on something, like the original geek code, instead of you having to estimate percentages. I could say "g4 b0 u5 a4 s1 r2 n1" but that's also subjective enough as an opinion to not really convey the exact same meanings that I might intend.

, neat concept, just maybe a touch vague? I don't know, I'm just like, a single opinion here.

Ok, your is l7 ;)

caramel,

@RL_Dane @thelinuxcast I'm just here to share my : g0b1u2a0s0r7n4

I'm not a total noob, but I'm not fluent either, still have to look up a lot of stuff. Linux Arch is my dream to try, not a gamer on Linux, but do have a couple games I need to try.

This is profile geekiness worthy.
