Then they use the worst set up you could imagine.
This is exactly what I'm going to do in about 14 days. Fuck Microsoft.
Out of curiosity, why in 14 days?
Leaving a job wit two weeks after an announcement probably.
Really slow download speeds?
Good on ya! π«‘
Linux is a pyramid scheme. Prove me wrong
It's penguins all the way down
what? no. penguins swim. it's just the penguin.
Its just fun man. Before I tried linux seriously, I thought it was ridiculous. Why would you care so much about doing extra random bull shit? Except thats literally like 99% of the fun. You dont have to do any of it these days. Most stuff runs out of box pretty well. People just do it because its fun to experiment. You learn so much about computers its addicting. I even learned some powershell for windows and zsh for mac because now I understand how they work better after reading books about the linux kernel. I used to be weirdly judgemental about mac and linux users, now I just want people to have a computer that fits their needs.
Its not for everyone, but my wife got so jealous of watching me try Mint/Ubuntu/Debian that she joined linux over a year ago. Her homepage is now the Fedora newsletter. She is a normal person who was only mildly interested in computers before and now we talk about Debian/Fedora all the time. If you like computers, its worth giving it a shot. Just dont blame yourself if it isnt your cup of tea.
I don't really care for Linux at all. I just hate Microsoft.
I hope you find some alternative you really enjoy using.
It's getting better, no question. I'm hopeful it will continue to get better.
Im really excited for Europes expansion into open source. I think big things could be coming from it in a few years.
My only concern is that as more large corporations and governments begin to use it, it becomes a much larger target for attacks and malware. There was a point in time where Apple was far more secure than Windows but it was mostly because they had a tiny fraction of the market share and hackers didn't want to bother with attacking it
Thats definitely a possible negative, but it comes with new strengths that can help blunt the impact. It will increase the amount of contributors, resources and money at every level. More people will be exposed to linux and inspired to contribute to the community. Governments and companies will be motivated to protect standards they rely on. I cant predict the future, but im hopeful working together is the solution to the problems any major infrastructure change will suffer from.
You are free to think whatever you like. Have a nice day π
I mentioned to my dad how much windows 11 sucks to use and he agreed that he can't stand it
So naturally, I told him about Linux, which he literally had never heard of before. I told him I'll show him how to restore one of his old laptops with it, and he can go from there. Knowing him, I can't wait to see "how cool" he thinks it is that he can just "fix" his own computer
And I've already converted my wife, instead of buying a new MacBook cause hers is showing it's age. She keeps her Mac for backup, but the main computer is Linux Mint. She's even started to understand the terminal a little, even though she doesn't really have to
Slowly converting family and friends, simply because computers are expensive and windows sucks so hard now
i had to hold in my excitement when someone asked me what linux distro they should use as a beginner
I started using Linux last week. And now I'm looking at your memes!
One of us one of us gooble gobble
Please reach out if you have trouble. Make a buddy if you don't have one!
welcome to the master race
Same! Put bazzite on my desktop.
Welcome!
Took you a week to get your graphics working, eh?
Hint: :q!
