Would you say Linux Mint is … refreshing?


A distro for Windows refugees isn’t an exact copy of Windows. They can stay on Windows for that.
It is the Linux flavour that is the easiest to use after working with Windows your entire life. It should have all the advantages a Linux system brings, but have the same type of logic how UI is organized as Windows, and offer the same advantages.
Like out-of the box drivers that work on every hardware. A setup with easy to understand questions that aren’t technical. A file system with similar structure. A GUI setting menu where the most used settings can be changed without opening a command window. …


How about fucking Tom Paris?


Like, even if they do listen to the community, it still isn’t good enough for the Linux shills on here.
God, the Linux community is so uptight. It really doesn’t do FOSS any favour acting like this.
It would be less bad if they could all agree to one recommended distro, but even that is an impossibility.


Then I rather just not watch the video.
I turned it off after 20 minutes, because even though it was informational, it wasn’t new info to me. Fuck the setup, don’t waste my time.
Could have watched an entire movie instead.
Quite the one-way argument you have there.
While Windows broke the printer driver, Linux didn’t have a driver to begin with.
And Windows forces updates because otherwise you have people who would never update and then complain that their computer gets hacked.
Switch those users to Linux, and they would complain a lot more while breaking their entire computer, including hardware.


Doesn’t make those commands any more readable.
If you can’t discern the use of the command by reading the command, it is a bad command.
It should be obvious what it does without the need to translate it.


The reason why Windows is pushy is because the average user needs it to be.
Updates would never get installed, unless Microsoft forces them to.
They would lose their files, unless Microsoft pushes OneDrive.
And all of them would blame Microsoft for their own ineptitude.
It is easy for techy people to keep their computer functioning properly. But Windows isn’t just used by those people.


And this is the reason Linux will never go mainstream.
Even the Linux community can’t agree which distro is good enough for the general public.


The chance of you playing your entire life and never winning a significant amount is much much much higher than you winning decently once.
Because those lottery businesses aren’t going to give out more money than they make. Your chance of getting more out of it than you put in is none.
But you do win every time you don’t play.


No they aren’t. They don’t care.


Pretty sure those countries that got bombed are full of people who hate the US a lot more than Americans
The fuck you on about? Have you ever played Portal beyond the first rooms? You definitely need fast and precise aiming in Portal.


Doubt that bike is going 35 km/h
But why would you be replacing them when you can upgrade?
If the lifetime of the device is twice as long, you already made a profit.


Most likely because if they came directly with their problem to whatever platform you are on, they would have been scolded at for not trying hard enough to solve it on their own. Or close the post because it has already been asked.


SEO has been fucking up searches long before LLMs were a thing.


To have an opinion on how it feels to murder: yes
To understand the repercussions on society: no, because you are part of that society


Not as easy if you auto-delete your cookies on the closing of your browser.
If the majority of Linux users had your mentality, we would have passed “the year of Linux” a decade ago.
