My t420 runs win7, the thinkpad meme is a good meme.

listen I installed intelliJ and then imported the project that was running fine in windows
should work right?
NOPE
were about a gurillion errors screaming about using \ insteas of / which arch apparently uses for its version
you would think they would make importing be a thing that works right out of the box surely

There's your problem op you faggot. Next time don't fall for the meme. Next time install Debian or a Ubuntu variant.

IntelliJ works perfectly fine on Linux, so cut the bullshit.

every sane platform uses / as a path delimiter rather than \
windows is fucked up enough that it takes both
although arch is a meme timesink distro you can't pin this on it

>blaming shitty Windows formatting on Linux
That's your own damn fault faggot.
I running the Jetbrains Suité with no problems whatsoever.

>intelliJ
>on Linux

should've used gentoo m8

ubuntu is the best distro out there for a reason. and it has been for a fucking decade. There will always be redhat/fedora and niche distros like gentoo/slackware/puppy/damnsmalllinux but any major software company uses Ubuntu as the base for their Linux build.

I fell for the windows is somehow better at something bait thread.
I fell for the install bsd meme.
