How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...

Have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior....

Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.

Dangerous move. What if they adopt Linux? You're then obliged to become Mormon.

This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !

Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want...

Tbf aren’t most Christian religions forks? Of original Catholicism, which itself is a fork of Judaism?

6

If you can't fork it, you would better work on an other existing project that you can fork ; or start an other one from scratch...

And (optionally) call back the mormons every 15 minutes so they join yours...

2

That's not correct. I have plenty of people to talk to. They don't talk at me back though.

1

I have to use windows at my new job, and I hate it so much. Have I said that in the last few minutes?

81

I will install arch soon on my host.

The arch linux experience (in the vm) is great so far. Just search if you need help, install corresponding software for something to work, etc.

I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️

  • there is no step two

Edit: listing is hard

You mean should one choose to mark their territory on your hand or arm? Depends on the quality of food, human

They can do the cat command. I may have moved a paw to help

No idea about the cats but it would be good if my mice were to switch to QMK.

Yes, most of my mice are wired.
There's one that is not, but it went bad pretty quickly.

I use glorious Nixos.

This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.

My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

I'm as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue

I guess so, but can one set it up from the installer? Asking geniunely.

3
lemmy.cafe

What do you mean set it up from the installer?

It's there, by default. You don't have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it's a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.

I've never met anyone who's changed the defaults, other than me, and I've been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)

5
lemmy.zip

Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I'll look it up, thanks!

You can add the setting to hibernate to the normal power menu and also make it automatically hibernate when they press the power button/close the lid etc. from somewhere in the power settings. So if they just press the power button or whatever you can make it automatically hibernate instead of dealing with trying to teach family a new thing lol.

3

Windows suspend is now hibernate, or something, or Poweroff with fastboot is hibernate. I forget. There was a time when their terms meant the thing it did, but they actually switched things around. If you need a full power off for hardware reasons its a restart, because power off doesn't do a true power off any more. Something to that effect

top left pic is the same girl in the meme about the guy watching another girl while walking with her GF ?

I'm using MX Linux BTW

12

For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.

Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.

Not these days, at least.

I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.

Most people don’t brag about their OS at all. For the vast majority, if it can accomplish the tasks it needs to accomplish, that is that.

1

Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks

Btw I don't use Arch

8

Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

It's actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That's how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.

Start on your grandmother's PC she can join the fun

Great, thanks. But isn't she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn't know how to "hack" or "code" or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol...?

She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A "mouse" is overrated, I haven't used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing

Gaming on linux is surprisingly good right now. Other than those games that require kernel level anti-cheats, most games work really well.

.... But in case it wasn't clear, the user suggesting linux from scratch is joking. Use Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you're starting your linux journey. Try it on a virtual machine, for instance.

1

Nah I'm happy with my Gentoo box sporting Lutris, just doing some light hearted trolling.

1

Switching to Linux desktop was last years news. Now I go around telling everyone about my Linux server (Debian BTW).

5

I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.

Told the wasps outside and they stung me for my insolence.

Replace “Linux” with “arch” and then it’s golden.

4

I dunno, I've never head anyone evangelize Windows.

Apple, yes. But honestly Linux users seem to have overtaken Apple users with their evangelizing.

As a basic bitch Mint user, I like seeing the meme using women instead of the usual men! Didn't even know I wanted that.

You should make a meme about tech corporations spending billions to advertise their products

In panel 3 is that two people collectively performing CPR with one hand each? Is that something that people do?

3

That is just one person with their hands woven together. You can see the part of the hand coming out of the sleeve of the white coat of the other person the CPR person is next to.

What concerns me more is how she went from CPR to being on a CPAP sleep apnea machine in Panel 4.

5

Its just like in movies having scenes where they add a second keyboard to type faster.

And they show the screen doing an apt-get upgrade

Having a privacy policy that links to the Warner Bros website doesn't really make it feel like a void.
Also, I haven't heard of cookies dropping out of the void.

hahaha joke's on you all. i wait until there's some essential thing i need to do (like installing a program for work, school, etc) and then if it doesn't work because it's only for windows i tell them

or if they ask, but that hasn't happened yet

I loved that part as well as her post ROSC CPAP, rather than intubation. lol

Looks more like the reaction by those randos who seem to think everything on the internet is made by AI.
