I still find it funny that Steve Ballmer called Linux communism lmao

the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use

you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything’s made for it. that’s not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.

the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn’t say its an “overwhelming” majority. tons of people clearly like valve’s take on linux even despite its limitations

Wouldn’t be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum

What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still

I’d also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won’t need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it’ll be important sometimes

Also, if you choose Mint like I shill for recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience

musk is really kinda doing the ADL’s job for them lmao

ah yes i love ecofascism

just that it’s unsustainable for 8b people

cool where’s everyone else gonna live then

I know this is a joke but I wanna hijack this comment to say you could spread out the housing a little to not be apartments but still only take like 30%

its why people say “fascism is capitalism in decline”, germany and italy saw massive government involvement in businesses: not to control or regulate them, but to bail them out.

i just started listening to blackshirts and reds so i wanted to butt in lol

Revolt has a really nice UI tbh I hope it takes off

It’s optional so eh, but it doesn’t encorurage healthy habits either

It’s an app that encourages users at a random time to share an image of their immediate surroundings, trying to kind of push an authentic feel. I remember hearing about it from some memes a year or so ago

Yeah that’s what I meant, not updating for a while makes it more likely to break next time I try. I think the time I had to use the fallback I waited something like close to a month?

For all its strengths, Arch is kind of a pain in the ass to maintain. I daily drive it but I risk breaking something if I don’t update regularly. My youtube laptop can’t update at all anymore from something I don’t care to fix (when Firefox breaks then its a big deal lmao) and my main rig needed to use the fallback initramfs for a while after I forgot to update for a while. mkinitcpio -P (I think) fixed it though

Archinstall also works on wireless using iwctl, that’s what I did

I didn’t, and what I read online was sometimes SSD manufacturers just get lazy with consumer products and end up assigning the same UUID to a model of SSD, and I tested this by getting an SSD from a different manufacturer and, sure enough, it worked as intended.

This might be the post I found where I figured it out at (bugzilla.kernel.org)

If you use two drives, I’d highly recommend getting two different models of SSD because after around kernel version 5.18, the kernel will reject one of the “duplicates”. Was a huge source of frustration when I started, and I had to use Mint for a while before finding out the problem (I’m on Arch now btw)
