Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.

    Windows is the virus.

    I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care.... They'll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014...

    For those who aren't already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That's what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/

    I thought they specifically planned to end the security updates to force people to use win11

    [–] millie@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

    Microsoft is going to stop providing updates, but 0patch is specifically providing security patches after EOS so that people don't have to upgrade to Windows 11.

    Microsoft does that too though. And afaik they have offered extended support for a long time for loads of windows versions (especially for the server versions)

    You can also overcome your Stockholm syndrome and ditch the trash for good.

    Unfortunately there are a few things that keep me from switching to Linux.

    • The drivers for my mouse don't work properly
    • JACK is not a substitute for Voicemeeter
    • JACK's latency makes it less suitable for recording guitar
    • I use FL Studio
    • I need access to a Windows testing environment
    • Having to suddenly troubleshoot in Linux completely breaks my flow

    Support for mine ended the day I unplugged it from the net 4 years ago

    [–] jireh@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

    I think widows is the virus

    Wait, was the scabbard always curved in this image?

    "Linux will never supplant windows" naysayers in shambles.

    Yes, everyone can have Audacity (for all your audio basics needs!) Audacity & Gimp work on Windows & MacOS, for those of you who continue to pay homage to corporate overlords for your computational playground (but want to use free (& open source) tools).

    I'll just ask chatgpt instead of being told LMGTFY and RTFM

    [–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    why spend time googling dozens of half-related forum issues when chatgpt can average all those half-related issues in one plausible-looking reply. just think of the time saved.

    "Read The Fucking Manual" (sometimes seen as "Read the Fscking Manual") I remember saying it back in the day when I was annoyed that the answer could be found in the documentation while someone is asking others what something means, how it works, or having a common problem.

    I now see it as quite pretentious of a reply and I now don't reply if I can't also be helpful.
