2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

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.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

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 fork-bomb your computer.

You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.

For one, it's got Steve Jobs in it, and he's been dead since 2011.

If I were to make the same meme today, I would still use him, so I'm not sure this dating method holds any water.

I think that's the right choice. If i need to imagine "apple boss" the face of jobs appear in my mind. The current one is Tim Cook, right? I'm sure I'd recognize him if I saw his picture, but at the miment I'm not able to picture him.

I disagree. They might not go out of their way to recommend windows but when any other alternative is mentioned they 100% start arguing.

I've seen people on r/programming complain that they hated linux and open source cause it gave them a way to use a feature in vlc that wasn't there natively. The other day I saw someone complaining that linux had window rules.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 24 points 9 months ago

Your can conjure them up quite easily.

Go to Steam Forums for a game that doesn't support Linux
Post a new thread, politely asking about the possibility of native Linux support
A Windows fanboy appears to tell you that you are wrong
Warning: Since the introduction of the Steam Deck, it's a bit harder to conjure up a Windows fanboy on the Steam forums, so you might have to try on a couple of game forums to conjure up your Windows fanboy.

[–] 314xel@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It was a default for so long that people just got used to the feel of it and its "ecosystem" if you can call it that.

I use Win at home and at work as my main desktop, because of familiarity, the apps I got used to and because I just don't feel comfortable with any Linux UI. I get annoyed when the Win UI gets even slightly changed between OS versions, so imagine how it would be for me just switching to Linux. I have a dual boot, but the Linux partitions always gather dust no matter the distro.

But I wouldn't touch a Windows server. I'm apt with the Linux on work servers, my home server, RaspberryPi and routers. It feeels like having swiss army knives and I feel at home in a command line.

This doesn't make me a fanboy, but I do get raised eyebrows from co-workers.

There’s a lot out there if you know where to look.

Plenty in the windows support forums. Look for the guy who’s not an MS employee still there helping people. Don’t make too much fun, they’re the only ones who’re any good and sorting out issues…

Wait... can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 24 points 9 months ago

the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor

That's because their monitors cost $2k

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

They are computers. So yes.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The M1 macbooks only support 1 external monitor natively lmao

[–] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are issues with Macs and multiple monitors, but one thing they do great is that they can easily support multiple monitors with different dpi settings and refresh rates (including variable refresh rates), which turns into a big pain in the ass to get right in Linux.

Macs are used in a lot of "creative" industries and professionals tend to benefit from multiple monitors. Every editor I've known cuts on a Mac with at least two monitors.

I'm a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.

My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.

I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.

It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL

At the risk of being unpopular, I have a home with a decently-powered Mac desktop (I used to work as a video editor), a Linux notebook for my personal use, a Windows notebook as required for my daughter's online school and even a Chromebook for my wife's use because it was all she felt she needed.

This meme is accurate in some ways, but the biggest way in which it's accurate is that people judge others for the OS they choose as if it is some sort of character flaw if they choose the 'wrong' one.

Running all of these OSes in one home, I've been able to see the advantages and disadvantages of each and I can't really say any of them would be the right one for everyone, so I'm actually glad there's a range of options. Even if those options can be overpriced or bloated or difficult.

I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it's always that they use it because it's the only thing they know

You guys have Stockholm syndrome

I'm a Linux user and I usually see Linux the way that it is depicted for the Windows user. The terminal is beautiful and my favorite interface for interacting with computers.

Other Linux users will see you as the "Mac as seen by Linux fanboys" panel haha

Do you run MacOS on it? Do modern Macs even allow other OSes any more?

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Kind of? There is one singular Linux distribution designed to work on macs, and it’s still missing a lot of features the last time I checked

I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience
