Not as funny as it seems - the error message "lp is on fire" really exists. Originally these bulky old tractor-fed matrix printers got really hot and would catch fire. That's history, but in the early 2000s I experienced a 1990s SUN laser printer that had similar ambitions. Luckily it usually would blow some fuses before it got hot enough.
And the new problems are way above most people's ability to solve. The usual man on the street is not the usual lemmy user.
OTOH, I used to give away Little Old Lady computers to seniors. Slap Linux Lite on there, setup their email and browser, DONE. They would never call me back for support.
Honestly, that was the biggest difference for me, when I switched.
A bunch of my issues I'd had on Windows just went away, overnight. And, sure, I ran into other problems; but I would've on Windows, too, except I can usually resolve them on Linux.
My machine is so much more usable, just on a daily basis; and I've learned so much more about my computer naturally since I switched.
HDR works quite well, with a bit of tinkering naturally, for Steam games. (Fedora 42 using ProtonPlus to get GE-Proton-10 and modifying the launch parameters)
GNOME, what else.
AMD Ryzen censored 7 350 with Radeon 860M
32GB of RAM
Internal Display
The drivers for the GPU are unfortunately not in the LiveUSB image so I had to connect my laptop using a HDMI to VGA converter to my CRT monitor to install Fedora xD
I don't use GNOME, but I'll give those launch parameters a try and see if that works, thanks!
Edit: It didn't work. The game could detect HDR, but the color was completely washed out. Probably Nvidia being Nvidia, but oddly enough HDR can work if I use gamescope as an intermediary.
I mean they aren't wrong. KDE connect on phone and PC is a game changer. GS connect if you use Gnome Desktop.
Not only can you send a file instantly, you can also copy your clipboard between devices, answer SMS on your PC, or have the phone pause your PC media when the phone rings. Its amazing. There is a windows version but it doesn't work properly.
Is it? With the advent of cloud storage, it seems that is the easiest way. Any cloud storage, any OS, its the concept of cloud storage that solves this problem.
In the package, there will be a large square of herb-scented paper. This is the entire code for VüDü. Fold this paper into an origami shape resembling the animal you're installing VüDü on (see also Appendix II). There are folding directions for common animals in the box. Make a hollow inside your paper badger and add a little more blood and hair from your animal.
Don't lose the paper; replacements are expensive. There are recipes for homemade paper on the Web, but getting all the information correctly transcribed is a huge task, as this must be handwritten; furthermore, the requirements of herb collecting, drying, and curing are formidable.
there are other demons? and they're invisible?? What if they grow superteeth on my CPU teeth? dot deb? how do I run a dot deb? "man top"? "man mount"??
fucking hell looking up manual pages kills me every time. i run mint btw
The demon is Bill Gates fueled with the tormented souls of Microsoft employees that just got layed off. The solution is to print out a few Arch wiki pages and a usb stick (with Arch) and say "the power of Torvalds compels you" until the PC is once again pure. Than keep your PC pure by avoiding absolutely proprietary software and always praying to Tux for more features.
Well… the satanists I’ve met definitely seemed like a Linux crowd, so it’s not the worst suggestion prior to sacrificing a goat or something of that nature.
When was the last time you saw a possessed Linux system? Don’t worry I’ll wait
my Linux has dæmons all over it
The good dæmons compete with pathogenic bad dæmons, and are essential for the computer's health.
All my Linux systems are possessed by daemons
Every linux comes with perl and bash, possession is a single script away
Just because they're daemons doesn't mean they're bad or malicious. Assuming they are is racist.
Install FreeBSD
Nah we know its just that all the demons end up clogging up the pc portal and all of them trying to enter at once end up blocking each other
It's a ddos attack: demon denial of service
indestructable
You can probably configure the demon in Linux
/. tribute.shThink it's
./tribute.shiircEdit: removed the space between
./andtribute.sh./: is a directoryYou're technically right since everything is a directory in Linux.
./is indeed for starting scripts thoughI haven’t had fun reading a comment thread like this in a while. Thanks guys, this is pure gold.
Edit: it’s just a tribute
This whole site is a /. tribute, with a few layers of indirection.

Meanwhile in BeOS and Haiku;
isComputerOn() isComputerOnFire() isComputerCursed()How do I daemonize my demon?
Honestly TempleOS might be the way to go on this one
my arch laptop with i3wm is riced to look like temple OS.
god loves elephants, and so do i.
Yoo, let us get them dots
This is like 99% of Lemmy users.
"How do I fix this issue with my computer?"
"Have you heard of our lord and savior FOSS?"
would actually solve 90% of problems.
With Linux:
I don't have forced updates.
I do have driver compile error when I update the kernel.
I don't have spyware recording my screen.
I don't have Discord record my screen when I want it to, either.
I don't have ads for games in my launcher.
I don't have HDR for games in my Steam library.
Etc.
And the new problems are way above most people's ability to solve. The usual man on the street is not the usual lemmy user.

I mean tbf most of these Linux issues are pretty easy to fix/avoid.

What GPU and DE? It's been a complete nightmare for me, and only the gamescope WSI seems to actually work.
GNOME, what else. AMD Ryzen censored 7 350 with Radeon 860M 32GB of RAM Internal Display
The drivers for the GPU are unfortunately not in the LiveUSB image so I had to connect my laptop using a HDMI to VGA converter to my CRT monitor to install Fedora xD
Launch options are: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%
I don't use GNOME, but I'll give those launch parameters a try and see if that works, thanks!
Edit: It didn't work. The game could detect HDR, but the color was completely washed out. Probably Nvidia being Nvidia, but oddly enough HDR can work if I use gamescope as an intermediary.
What DE do you use?
Literally saw this on Mastodon yesterday.
"How come emailing a document to myself is still the easiest way to send something to another device?"
"Have you tried using Linux?"
I mean they aren't wrong. KDE connect on phone and PC is a game changer. GS connect if you use Gnome Desktop. Not only can you send a file instantly, you can also copy your clipboard between devices, answer SMS on your PC, or have the phone pause your PC media when the phone rings. Its amazing. There is a windows version but it doesn't work properly.
Ah, there's the problem when trying to move stuff between Windows and my Steam Deck.
Just use Landrop like a normal person
It's not the best way though. Idk why you'd hate on someone actually providing a solution.
I use KDEconnect nowadays, but I definitely used to email stuff to myself!
Aye, "learn a new OS" as the solution to a problem solved by simply using LocalSend on whatever you already have.
Is it? With the advent of cloud storage, it seems that is the easiest way. Any cloud storage, any OS, its the concept of cloud storage that solves this problem.
I think such circumstances require TempleOS.
I am running Ubuntu Santanic Edition
it's true though, specificity TempleOS
B-b-but TempleOS isn't Linux!
Some man pages are more suitable than others.
Best way to kill -9 a daemon 🤷
https://youtu.be/0rG74rG_ubs
I'm inclined to believe that's normal Windows behavior at this point...
I'm sure you have no ulterior motives on this subject, maxwells_daemon.
Demons prefer FreeBSD
FreeBSD might make sense here too with Beastie. Just lean into it
On the next episode of Unix surrealism ...
systemd keeps daemons under control, the computer will be fine with Linux.
Nothing wrong with just suggesting Linux tho. And the satan part is obviously just a nice goodie of your PC.
Exactly! More proof it runs on a huge variety of hardware
If you install Linux properly you'll get the experience with spirits you'll need.
TempleOS
Did you see the templeOS rice the other day on unixporn?
Dude had fuckin nix on there
Have not seen it. Got links? I'd look it up, but I'm unsure whether we're talking Lemmy or Reddit
I can't find it, it was on reddit though.
Well, I hope it was at least developed in collaboration with God
Linux doesn't have this? Man, I guess I'll stick with windows. That shit is metal AF.
I think HellOS comes with demonic teeth drivers right out of the box.
Demon: What the fuck, how to I install Chrome, what the heck is a tar gz? Fuck this I'm out
there are other demons? and they're invisible?? What if they grow superteeth on my CPU teeth? dot deb? how do I run a dot deb? "man top"? "man mount"??

Gotta keep those daemons at bay.
Don't worry. Systemd will absorb them all. One to find them, in darkness to bind them...
Sounds like a standard windows 11 install to me?
Hence freebsd was born.
I mean, the graphics card issue sounds like a Windows virus to me, so probably would be fixed with a Linux install.
The demon is Microsoft's AI
Clippy sharpened to a spike
Because Linux is so effective that the GPU temperature tops at 69, which is nice.
May the power of Ubuntu Christian Edition compel him!
https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=ubuntuce
Hail satan! Linux FTW
Sounds like something windows would do…
He's not wrong.
Also,
Tech support: try turning it off and back on
sed s/demon/daemon/gThe install is complete.
This is true because Linux users know that daemons are something that you can rein in and perhaps restart on occasion.
Your computer wants to be possessed by Daemons sir
Daemons > demons
They should install Linux. Arch is the only way to make a demon leave your computer and never return.
TempleOS
Will TempleOS even run on modern hardware?
If god wills it
Tell me it wouldn't work, though!
LOOK ME IN MY FACE! I bet you can't.
Ok, but imaging playing one of the new Doom games with that set up:
Action starts to get intense.
The tension, and temperature rises.
Suddenly, a whisper at the back of your mind "hail satan hail satan hail satan"
As more enemies appear, and the temperature rises, it becomes louder, pulsing in your ears. Somehow a whisper that is now shouting.
As you cleanse the demonic filth, the chanting subsides and stops, bringing a measure of peace, at least for the moment.
Hell yes
The HOLIX community might be your place of salvation.
HOLIX, the operating system for those holier than thou. The true and only OS. Come to HOLIX!
Well… the satanists I’ve met definitely seemed like a Linux crowd, so it’s not the worst suggestion prior to sacrificing a goat or something of that nature.
UbuntuCE specifically
The machine spirit yearns for linux
Pleasantly surprised seeing tpwrtrmnky here.
Good move, now the demon can't get a wi-fi connection.
