  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    What's wrong with his head? It looks so uncanny

    [–] bstix@feddit.dk 77 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    His head is overinflated with the self-indulgent smugness that comes from downloading Linux several times daily.

    [–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    If I had a nickel for every time someone said that about me...

    Well, I would have ten cents. But you have to admit it's weird that it happened twice.

    [–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

    I was looking confused at that for a while, thinking "Isn't a nickel 10 cents?" Then I realised that was a dime.

    Maybe it's the perspective, but it looks like an adult man's head on a kid's body.

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    The head is perfectly cromulent.

    [–] Plavatos@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

    Using Linux embiggens the smallest head

    [–] Odo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Man, even in the source video he looks like a kid with a man's head. Creepy.

    righto, no cans

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 27 points 1 year ago

    Unironically yes. Switching to Linux gave so much peace of mind through this wave of enshittification. I know my system will remain user-centric for eternity to come, and will work in my interests.

    [–] AntY@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

    I had to use a Windows 11 computer a couple of days ago. I can identify with this meme.

    [–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I love watching other peoppe suffer

    [–] HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Yep, I'm so happy when I hear how shitty Win 11 is. Enjoy your ads, currency exchange rates that for some reason cycle on the taskbar, traffic information, and what not.

    [–] const_void@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Don't forget inflated hardware requirements and links to Copilot shoved into every possible place!

    [–] HotPurplePeach@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

    Oh yes, the "AI", how could I forget. All aboard the hype train!

    I'd like to double this statement! Fuck W11!

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 years ago

    Yeah no, I don't care personally. However when I inevitably play tech support it sucks.

    [–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    This happens with age. After multiple cycles of FOMO driven by the pushing of consumer demand you eventually realise it's all bullshit and attain a state of JOMO.

    It's why people chasing the latest graphics card "ray tracing" bullshit seems so pointless.

    [–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I was one of those who used to dream of real time ray tracing before it became a thing. And now that it's a thing, I feel uninterested by it (didn't event try to buy one of those GPUs. It's as if the dream was more fun to have than having it in reality.

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

    I can just emulate God of War on my Steam Deck and it looks amazing at 2x resolution. Much better than a fancy looking game that isn't fun. Looking at you Cyberpunk.

    [–] Zorque@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    For people who apparently want to disconnect, they sure seem to obsess about it a lot.

    It's like all the people from Team Fortress communities that constantly talk about Overwatch, while the Overwatch communities just kind of... exist.

    Considering how pretty much all of the actual problems with Linux are due to the fact that many software and hardware vendors don't support it due to low market share, it makes sense that we'd be aware of what the OS with the vast majority of the market share is doing. I'd love to "disconnect" from Windows entirely and not care about it, similarly to how I couldn't tell you what version Mac OS is on right now, but we're not there yet.

    currently using Win10. i am not upgrading to 11.

    once i figure out how to play games like fortnite and other anticheat games on linux, i'm honna switch over so hard.

    [–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

    Not all the anti cheat systems will work in Linux, some vendors will flat out ban you even when you can get the software working.

    Anyways Fortnight works if you use the https://lutris.net/ system. Lutris is pretty cool, it's mostly just a frontend that does all the configuration for you. If you create an account, you can almost one click install most of your games.

    [–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    i'll try that out. once i get my full list of games working, there's just my T300 to worry about.

    this answer is copypasted from my original answer to the orher fella that gave you the advice: this is wrong. Epic executives have an unressonable hate against linux, meaning they deny support for fortnite spesifically even rhpugh they can enable it.

    [–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    2 years left still. Hopefully by that time Linux gains enough popularity that developers consider supporting it. At the very least Ubuntu.

    Some of my best memories involve the sentence "Fuck it, I'll stay home".

    Also, some of my worst memories involve the sentence "Fuck it, I'll stay home".

    Chose your "I'll stay home" moments wisely.

    Also, I have to use Win 11 atm and it will be part of my worst memories as soon as I can stop this.

    Windows users are missing out on nice Desktops like Gnome and KDE

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

    How is WSL in 2024? Maybe they can finally install a good os inside their bad one.

    [–] abfarid@startrek.website 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    Applies to Windows users, too, honestly.
    - Sincerely, a Windows user with deactivated Windows Update.

    [–] Jourei@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

    Windows users cry because it happens every now and then, it's not a constant. :smug:

    [–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

    I'm going to have to use JOMO more often.

    [–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

    I'm a JOMOsexual.

    [–] JCreazy@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I have a laptop that I run Windows 10 LTSC for the rare occasion I need Windows for something.
