I’m willing to recommend Windows 10 to someone who considers “upgrading” to Windows 11.
It’s great, I get a checkout line to myself now.
What else would I be talking about to people?
The Revolution.
Yeah you got me
I used to like treyarch btw
I tend not to recommended Linux to anyone because I always end up their tech support.
Quite. Oh you are using Windows? Sorry, I don’t know anything about that.
That’s an improvement over always being the dedicated tech support anyway, no matter how often you explain to them that you have not bothered to take a look at Windows and all its specific issues for a decade or more…
And then I get called in to diagnose why they’re locked out of their Facebook account…
Talked about Linux so much my 14 year old niece installed Fedora by herself on her computer and loves it.
Just buy her a MacBook if you want to be a good uncle
No thanks, I endeavor to pass on independent life skills, not dependent ones.
People who understand computers use macOS exclusively
Linux is not good outside server or embedded applications
Hope you are justo trolling
Hahahahahahahaha…dude…hahaha
Bless your heart
You should join the 21st century. That is a very outdated notion.
Apple have only been clearly the best the last 5 years
Best at what exactly?
Extraction of wealth from the lower classes
I found the Lemmy Daring Fireball account.
LOL
Uncle goals
That’s quite different from what I learned from my uncles growing up…
This is how you pour a beer!
If I were still drinking, I’d have tought mine both skills.
Drunken linux installs are always the best. It’s the side effect of installing gentoo while drinking some wine.
That’s how we got a Mars Rover clone on a FedEx box

No matter how bad the content is, I don’t think anything deserves the terrible fate of being put on Facebook.
someone recommended to me the other day to try FreeBSD. After spending multiple hours this morning trying to get the Wifi to work I now want to punch them in the throat.
Ethernet/phone tethering works like a charm though.
Don’t forget to see if SMT is enabled… Good chance it is not. Had a buddy go down that rabbit hole earlier today playing around with various BSD flavors.
Honestly, OpenBSD often works better out of the box on laptops and workstations.
No ZFS in the box though.
Try Zorin. Very easy transition from Windows.
I’m already on NixOS and have been on linux for a few years now. I just wanted to try something a bit different.
Somewhat related but does anyone know the backstory on the linuxsucks guy? He’s the sole poster in that community and has a massive rage boner for Linux but seems to know way too much about it?
Man, idk, but I think the guy is also the one running the Reddit community by the same name. The usernames are different, but the Reddit sidebar links to the Lemmy community and the description and rules are almost word for word.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but anyone who promotes telemetry as some sort of good thing and hates on makes it their life’s work to dissuade people from Linux is either someone with too much time of their hands or an op.
That was my suspicion too but sometimes people just have hate boners for things like an autistic fixation on hating something. A good example is that CPU benchmark website where the owner has a rock hard hate boner for AMD no matter how well they do. When they kicked the crap out of Intel they used every disingenuous reason to score it lower because Intel should always be better.
Brian Lunduke
as for info about him… eh, I’ll leave you to it.
Stallman?
it-it’s happening- SOMEONE HELP M-i use arch btw :3
I hate that we can now recommend win10 over win11 because win11 now has AI in your fucking notepad.
I fired up an old Win7 box this weekend, and by the end of the day Microslop had force installed copilot onto the system.
I talk about Linux with a lot of people. Anywhere from non-technical users, to technical users.
I have gotten a few people to try it. But ultimately in my real life circle I am the only competent Linux user. And I can’t get non tech people to try it.
A bunch of non-technical family members have been on Ubuntu for a decade. I’m only involved in LTS release upgrades and hardware failures.
ITT:
Win 10 user not realizing they are self-reporting how unenthusiastic / unimpressed they are by their OS, to the extent that they literally cannot even imagine being excited by any OS.
Have you heard of the gospel of our lord and savior, Linus torvalds? Do you have a minute to discuss salvation from the eternal fires of surveillance capitalism? /j
Bro we get that you’re joking.
