I wouldn’t even think about leaving Linux. I use Arch, btw!
Wait wat, grovelling and eating grub and dirt? /s
You prefer eating lilo?
Is that like an alternate term for fifo?
ffffffffffuuuuuuuuu that’s a good one
Literally finally let my windows partition upgrade to windows 11 last night. It took like 3 HOURS to do. Then I shrunk the partition way down and clean installed my Bazzite dual boot over the extra space and that took MAYBE 15 minutes. I use Windows MAYBE once every 6 months or so. Linux has just been the better experience for 99% of my computing and even gaming needs.
Yes but wouldn’t you like to sign up for an outlook account? No? Sorry that wasn’t a question, this full screen window has no X and you will comply.
… unless you do the thing that skips it, but man that’s an awful experience.
Was helping a friend install Windows on his new PC this week and my god it was such an awful experience. Just looking at the start menu had me in tears.
I hear ya. Seeing fedora’s logo after 8 hours of fixing windows servers and MSSQL has me in tears.
Somebody’s looking for a linux sysadmin?
Must not be a good friend if you installed windows on his PC.
A decent prank though.
it takes soooo long, think it also needs to be wired, mightve just dine that to speed it up idr
My boy! Look how they massecured my boy!
Sionara, lean windows 7 start menu
Open-Shell can fix that when you’re forced (at gunpoint, obviously) to use Windows ;)
I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.
@cm0002@lemmy.world should just say DEBIAN users, cause the rest of those garbages are all the same as winblows
If you want to rag on a Linux distro on Lemmy your best bet is to rag on Ubuntu.
Which makes me sad since I still like the distro. But it is a deb based distro, so I wonder how it falls into your categories.
But definitely grouping all other distros to disparage them will not be appreciated here.
Looks like you’re new here. Welcome. And I don’t recognize the instance either. Is that a new instance?
@jaybone@lemmy.zip yes, I feel your pain, i like ubuntu too, but they have to go and do all that telemetry and then go around selling it. same with redhat or fedora whatever the crap. It’s got SElinux, but i mean, its not that great, just good for access rights, can live without it. I love debian, they ask you if you want the popularity contest and it defaults to no, good enough for me. I was using ubuntu and I got sold out, i speak from experience.
Well, I’m expressing my opinion, I’m not pretending to be an authority. I could care less if they are appreciated or not if I want to express my opinion I don’t rely on other’s approval to do so. Sorry if my dislike of Linux Distros causes you discomfort, more sorry for you than for myself.
And yes, new instance.
Jaybone, eh? interesting name. 🙄
No discomfort here. And you don’t have to be sorry.
I was offering an explanation of why your comment received so many downvotes. So just an observation. You don’t have to feel one way or the other about the explanation. I don’t.
@jaybone@lemmy.zip Because you are all opinionated fools with names like jaybone running around on a piece of shit lemmy server, what do i care what the fuck you smelly idiots think? And yes, someone has to be sorry for you people, my god man have you taken a look at yourselves? your site is shit
@jaybone@lemmy.zip you don’t have to offer an explanation, i do not require one. it’s redundant like your comments always end up being.
I was neutral towards ubuntu until I started the interview process for Canonical. An essay about my achievements in High school is pure ageisme. Adding to this the “better than thou” attitude of Mark Shuttleworth and I decided to shut the door on Ubuntu.
Debian is pretty rad though.
High school? Please tell me it was entry level or a college internship.
It was a software engineer job. Python and Kubernetes so not really entry level. For your entertainment here’s the questions I had to write about (just the education section).
Ew. That’s a lot of focus on highschool. Like I need to write a damn essay about my high school experience just to apply to a job in my 30s? Fuck no. Absolutely not. What a clown show.
Linus has entered the chat
Ooh swear word bingo
But Debian after knowing how to install the WiFi drivers or before?
Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?
Unless we’re ridiculing them, obvs.
I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn’t of them being in space or doing any of the “tourism” parts, but of them being “so grateful to be on the ground” because they couldn’t “handle it”
Looks to me like the reader (the Linux user) is identifying with the subject of the image, which would appear to put them in a sympathetic light.
This is attention whore activity. There were people stuck on the ISS for what like nine months, did they kiss the earth when they returned? These people willingly go to barely the edge of the atmosphere for like two minutes and this is their response when they returned?
OTOH Windows does suck. Though again I’m guessing no one is switch back for ten minutes by choice.
tbh 9 months on iss isn’t too long, they’re experienced astronauts and they had their ride back docked to the iss for a long while anyway. it’s probably way more miserable having to hang out with dumbass celebrities for the rest of your life
Agreed, this was my first thought. We do not need to make these monsters into a meme. Let them go back into non-existence.
If anyone wants to listen to a 40 minute rant about it, always recommend Angela Collier.
I’m pretty sure this is making fun of those twats
It is so fun to trash them.
Uh, isn’t that what this is?
They were not space tourists.
They were cargo. Marketing material for Jeff’s rocket-powered overcompensation that just happened to need oxygen to stay fresh.
Passengers*, I think. I’m pretty sure passenger vehicles are subject to higher quality standards than vehicles meant only for cargo (ISS supplies, for example).
(I could be wrong. I’m an internet comment, not a rocket surgeon 🤷🏻♂️)
Literally me after using my moms Windows 11 Laptop for 10 Minutes.
How can you not love W11? It has more telemetry, AI, privacy violating features, garbage uit (not to mention double ui for the same thing) than ever.
Perfect right?
I come home and just turn on my laptop and look at it when I get home from work. Just to remind me that there’s better things in the world.
Are you still Katy Perry or was it a temporary affliction?
If this premise entertains you, you might enjoy the American Dad! episode regarding Guy Fiere.
Personally, I love most of their episodes, but I think my favorite is the one with the rear projection TV.
Me after every workday.
Every three months for about 30 minutes I’m forced to use windows in a VM. It’s so awful dealing with the pop up’s, forced updates, and background bullshit that I feel the need for a shower after.
If Linux was introduced to me a lot sooner and I wasn’t such a jackass that had to play video games on my computer, I would literally have switched a long fucking time ago. I’ve used all operating systems at this point and Linux ecosystem is far better. What you can’t do on Linux is shit I don’t even want to do. Most of the time.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed player here with an Nvidia 3000-series GPU.
Gaming with Steam, GoG (Heroic Launcher), and even disc games installed with Bottles has been a smooth experience with VERY few if any tweaks or fixes needed.
Except for VR (where Monado is making strides!) we are THERE. I’d highly encourage trying it out these days.
Unless you gotta play the latest AAA hyper-competitive monolithic server games with kernel level anti cheat but…at that point might as well have a burner PC. X_X lol
Even then some work! Marvel Rivals works on Linux fine!
So does Helldivers 2 but that’s cooperative.
Great to know!
Both games I really want to play. For some reason I thought Marvel Rivals didn’t do kernel-level? I’m likely wrong haha.
But I loved the original Helldivers. I just really don’t want to have to install a “just trust us, bro” rootkit to enjoy the clearly excellent sequel. :(
I don’t know if it does kernel level or what, all I know is Marvel Rivals works on Linux just fine. I might be misremembering but I think they even pushed an update out that broke Linux support and then fixed it because they said Linux support is important to them.
I have had to use windows for like the last two weeks and the taskbar crashes and freezes constantly so I put a bat file on my desktop that kills and reopens explorer.exe also if my bluetooth headphones disconnect while my mic is muted it refuses to unmute… I have to reboot. This is what people say is a “it just works” experience.
Other day I tried opening the command prompt on a windows server 2019 by hitting the start button and typing cmd. Waited for 20s before hitting win+r and running cmd.exe from there.
Ws2k19 maybe dated, but wtf is up with that level of performance in searching? I mean if you can’t do it in a way approaching satisfactory, then why roll it out at all?
It’s so funny how you can crash the whole Windows desktop by mounting a network share, disconnecting from the network and trying to access it.
Found that at a previous job where technicians would frequently connect and disconnect from networks. Also, it’s impossible to unmount such a share from explorer or PowerShell. Only the old CMD tool works
NO BECAUSE I’VE LITERALLY DONE THE SAME THING! For me it was on my desktop instead. But yeah. I don’t remember exactly why but it happened enough that I definitely had a bat file that just killed explorer.exe. iIf I’m remembering right it auto restarts.
No one has more problems on windows than a linux-first user.
Every thread like this has people that can’t seem to get windows to do the bare minimum, but I have yet to have a single hiccup in months. I don’t get it. This isn’t even a “linux bad” comment, I dual boot and enjoy my linux install as well, the only “problems” I have on there are from being new to linux.
That’s because all the people who don’t have issues, aren’t going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It’s not “haha linux funny meme”, it’s “windows bad” over and over again).
Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.
It’s even a work pc, there’s a thread on the microsoft forums detailing how common the problem is.
My work laptop with Windows 11 works OK for what I need it for, but I do have to fight it all of the time to get it to do shit. And it is also incredibly slow for no real reason.
I’m wondering if some of those issues are just simple annoyances that Windows users are used to putting up with. Because I had lots of those before switching to Linux that I didn’t think were fixable.
The only time I had my windows install be completely unbootable was when dual booting. The rest was always an issue.
See, as a native Windows user, I mostly feel the opposite. I use Linux Mint because it’s almost like Windows, but it’s incredibly frustrating when it’s not. I’m not even much of a gamer (most of my games are FOSS, or run in RetroArch, Vice, or DOSBox-X). I just like being able to instantly find the software I’m looking for. It shouldn’t take an hour to find a Notepad. There needs to be something like Dspeech. I shouldn’t need to search and poke and hope that the software is either in apt or flatpak. So every time I go back to Windows, even the hellscape that is 11, I can get everything done faster than Linux.
Totally get it! It’s somewhat jarring moving from the Windows world of software to the world that are available in apt (or other), or otherwise running essential software through wine/proton.
An hour to find a notepad? Most desktop environments come with some simple text editor. And if you’re running something minimal, there’s always nano or vim.
If some software is not found by apt search, I usually start to wonder, is it not free software? In that case I’d rather find an alternative. Some times I have to go to the softwares web site, where they have install instructions, but that’s the exception.
Fr tho, I had to use my brother computer for printing and it’s such a god awful os
She looks practiced… A little too practiced.
