This is the first time I’ve seen a Roblox meme template 💀💀
The future is now old man!
I’m in my early 20s 💀
What’s wrong with it?
nothing in particular, I was just taken by surprise that a Roblox meme was in my feed lol
Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme
Not only that but they also detect VMs so if you want to play it you have to dual boot
Lutris is a thing
Using roblox to talk about linux
It once played perfectly fine under WINE, then Roblox explicitly blocked it for no good reason.
I’m experimenting with Pop!_OS on my aging laptop running it on a USB drive. Was happy to see it supports 2-in-1 functionality.
I love everything about Pop!_OS. Except the name, that I cannot stand.
It’s a silly name for sure.
Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they’re not going to take “no” for an answer.
They also added a “it’s time to upgrade to Windows 11” full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).
That was my thoughts, too. So, now I’m running Mint on my gaming PC and the one hooked up in my living room for streaming. I tried Kubuntu, and liked it, but KDE Wayland was giving me issues. Installing a different desktop environment just introduced more problems, so I went with a different distro with the DE I wanted, which was Mint with Cinnamon. Now, life is good.
Reminder for Windows 10 users who can’t upgrade to Windows 11
/s/can’t/won’t
I’ve installed mint on my laptop, I like it so far. Everything was super easy to get set up, even the graphics drivers
question, i have a older computer that i want to switch to linux. It has a 1080. Do i just install linux and it will work, or do i have to go look for drivers, or do i have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed? How do i have to imagine it?
Linux Mint is easy af, that or Ubuntu
Potato potato
Ahh I do love that classic Harley sound…
I started on mint a couple months ago and so far I’ve tried as many distros as I could find. I liked manjaro but then found out about their controversies so I’m currently on endeavour os. Half of the fun for me has been experimenting with different desktops and whatnot, which has gotten me back into computer stuff.
Does anyone else find these OS wars silly? To me an OS is a tool and you should be using whatever tool is best suited for the job. For me I’m regularly switching between all 3 major OS’s.
I’ve got windows systems, Linux systems and MacOS all under regular use at home
Well, most people don’t have spare computers at home, so they do actually need to decide. It also means that they can’t easily try out different operating systems, so even when they’re unhappy with their current OS, they’ll rarely inform themselves about alternatives.
You would be right, only if a preference for one OS didn’t negatively affect other OSes. If less people used windows, there would be fewer windows-exclusive software. And if that were the case, the likelihood would decrease that my university classes would require windows-exclusive software.
You might say, “just use wine,” or “just use a windows VM.” Wine doesn’t always work with all software, and using a windows VM would undermine one of my main reasons for using Linux, which is privacy.
It is therefore in my best interest that people stop using windows. It’s not a vendetta, it’s not activism, it’s democracy.
I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.
Linux doesn’t run what I need, getting some form of LTSC is my only option.
Closer to the EoL time, someone is going to release a version of Linux that is basically windows, with a super locked down interface etc to make it so newbies can install and use with zero CLI or setup.
Or at least some serious consumer-grade onboarding.
Presumably it will have reduced functionality to make it as stable as humanly possible too.
And they’ll probably become one of the larger distributions until people get the confidence to “upgrade” to a more complex one.
Distro-hopped a lot till I landed on Manjaro with XFCE desktop environment. Been daily driving it for about a month now without any complaints. There is an option to install with NVIDIA drivers as well.
Ow I can upgrade, I just blocked TPM motherboard side to stop windows from doing it.
But in the end I really would like to give Linux a shot, these days I basically only play steam game or watch a movie, most of it should be easy enough nowadays in linux
