  • 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.

    I actually like Linux, but I'm considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it's so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

    My guy, you are on linuxmemes lmao

    I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

    Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.

    No, I'm on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, "Linux good, Binbows bad."

    [โ€“] littlecolt@lemm.ee 49 points 2 years ago

    But have you heard the latest hilarious thing? Windows... BAD! Hahaha! My goodness, I'm sure you never could have imagined. Also, I use Arch, in case you were wondering.

    Binbows isn't that bad, it's Michaelsoft as a company we should worry about.

    Calm down MacOS hasn't done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don't get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

    "We did the thinking for you, and you'll like it." Might as well be their slogan.

    Mac still locks up with frozen applications. I hate it

    It's 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don't have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don't have anything positive to say about their OS lol.

    I don't agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It's absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that's it. You can't open anything, you can't delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It's so fucking bad.

    The almost exact same thing happened to a friend of mine using Windows 11. The machine booted, but he was unable to log in.

    Also windows 10 updates has twice deleted all my files, I am now no longer on windows.

    edit: Thanks to psud@aussie.zone for teaching me something new. (quotes formatting is a thing)

    You can format quotes better by starting each quoted line with a >

    It looks like

    Your wifeโ€™s experience sucks, but having done IT for sizable orgs in the past, my experience was that OS X and Appleโ€™s hardware usually needed less coddling than the various Windows machines. Although they did have some lemon OS releases here and there, and those fucking keyboards from several years back were the devil.

    Any OS is going to have anecdotal horror stories. If you want to get a real read on reliability you really need more than a sample size of 1. You need scale.

    You need scale

    Can't scale. Hard drive full.

    Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

    I'll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.

    [โ€“] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    Click "Activities" in the upper right and search for "tweaks", click the "Tweaks" icon. Select "Keyboard & Mouse" and turn "Middle Click Paste" to "off".

    For Gnome ^ but I'm at work and can't confirm.

    I tried Windows 11 on an old laptop I had. Experience:
    "Why the hell is TikTok installed?"
    Clicks icon
    "Installing TikTok"
    "No, you retard!"

    If you install windows and set the language to be english (world), there will be no preinstalled BS apps like tiktok.

    Of course most people wont do that

    PC gamers have modded every game that has been released, whether legal or not. I can't believe there is no "remove ads from start bar" mod available yet.

    [โ€“] egeres@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (16 children)

    Do you guys think linux will ever win over time? I see hate towards ubuntu every now and then but I think of it as the most "idiot-proof" distro (maybe I'm wrong)
