I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 58 points 1 month ago

Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

I'll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!

(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)

[-] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 12 points 1 month ago

I can, I just prefer windows

The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

Mac owners have money? more like had money

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

[-] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 30 points 1 month ago

In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

[-] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

[-] waz@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

[-] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on

[-] waz@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.

Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

[-] grubbyweasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.

Windows users have regrets

Mac users have stockholm syndrome

Linux users have a computer

Open source kart racer with a bunch of open source mascots as playable characters

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.
