1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Microsoft: Gets slapped with antitrust lawsuits for including Internet Exploder with Windows.

    Microsoft: Hold my beer.

    Crazy how Google hasn't been hit for forcing everyone to use Play Store by making it unreasonably inconvenient to use 3rd party stores to update software.

    [–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Do 3rd-party stores work on iOS?

    F-Droid works quite well on my Google Pixel

    [–] SimonSaysStuff@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    In iOS 15 we should see side loading of apps from 3rd party stores. I think this was the result of an EU ruling? Hopefully someone else can confirm.

    Ah! Thanks. Yes I got my upcoming numbers muddled. it's the iPhone 15 and iOS 17. My bad.

    [–] Gamey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    It hasn't been hit directly but the EU Digital Markets Act will make that behaviour illegal, among other things.

    [–] Warfarin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You can just install a third party store and update apps through that easily..

    [–] Boinketh@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

    Yeah, manually downloading and clicking install/update on each app, waiting 5-10 seconds between apps. So much easier than just pressing "update all" or using automatic updates. Totally comparable.

    I'll hold it. To pour it over their head. lol Edge the assimilated Chrome. most of their desktop apps open links in Edge instead of the default browser. I installed 'no script' on Edge and links open to a blank tab on MSN. copy links to my prefered browser. would be on linux except for one game I like

    [–] SimonSaysStuff@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    I use Opensuse for everything bar gaming. I dual boot to Win10 for any games I want to play. This setup works pretty well for me.

    [–] SaladevX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Same, but with Arch and Win11

    [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Same with Mint and Win10, but almost everything runs on Mint

    [–] SaladevX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

    Yeah, honestly Linux gaming has come a LONG way in the past few years. I rarely need to boot into Windows nowadays.

    [–] SimonSaysStuff@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    I do miss the AUR. I may return to Arch at some point.

    [–] minorsecond@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

    I did that with Gentoo and W11 but got sick of Windows messing with the EFI boot order and ended up nuking it. Proton games only from here on out.

    tried that once. I worked in IT for many years. server monkey. mostly used VMs on large rack mount hardware for linux/windows servers running various services for a college. forget what that system was called. mostly retired the last 10 years. windows 10-11 took away my left side task bar option and I quit playing the one game. thinking about a new linux box with maybe a windows partition for dos games. VMs don't usually play nice with games. current dust filter: current dust filter:
