Shoutout to the 3DS custom theme shop for having a Tuxkart theme
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.
I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.
Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base
What about Free-BSD?
Have ~~freedom~~ their code stolen by corps
Free bsd users have driver support issues
Hahaha Windows users having sense
have no idea how to install another OS
I'll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!
(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)
I know how to quit smoking weed erry day, I simply choose not to.
Damn, just call me out dude
It's all in good fun
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
Why would i need to? I tried Linux and it's mental. Took 20 minutes to edit mount settings on my hdd. fstab, gnome disks, and whatnot. Meanwhile Windows is: here's your files bro, whenever you want. And don't even get me started with the countless problems i encountered to install apps, edit hdd permissions, configuring panels and more.
I need to try windows again. I remember it being more complex than Linux. I switched just so things were easier. Cygwin! Registry editing! Getting a Microsoft degree just to edit my desktop menus. I didn't just sit there and install my programs like a good kid and actually wanted to, you know, do things with my computer. And boy did windows hate me for it.
I'm hoping modern IDEs or just having Linux on standby would make Windows simple enough to use.
Mac owners have money? more like had money
The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich
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".
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!!!"
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.
Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.
Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!
from the linux sucks community?
nah it was here just deep in the negative https://lemmy.world/post/20843892
From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol
Windows users have regrets
Mac users have stockholm syndrome
Linux users have a computer
Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?
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.
Eh, even with track creation, I prefer Modnation Racers and its spiritual successor LittleBigPlanet Karting. Shame both games are stuck on the PS3, but then SuperTuxKart still looks like it came out of the PS2. They run well in RPCS3 and online still works for track sharing through fan servers.
Also, I wasn't that impressed by Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. It does have tons of content, certainly worth the price. Never played the originals and the remake sure does look pretty, but the track design feels pretty simple, probably because they're from a PS1 game. Simple track layouts, few gimmicks. Some people might prefer that, but not me. I'm sure CTR beat the socks off Mario Kart 64 back in the day, but the tracks in modern Mario Kart are to me far more interesting. I expected more out of it given all the hype. Plus, for some unfathomable reason despite being multiplatform the game was only released on consoles, not PC, so that's another game you have to emulate to play on PC. And if you do have a console to play it on, it's locked at 30fps regardless of platform, which is disappointing for a racing game. There's a 60fps mod if you emulate tho, thankfully.
All-Stars Racing Transformed does have my glowing recommendation, though.
Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)
Open-source Mario Kart with all the functionality of Mario Kart, and you don't even have to spend money on an actual Wii.
Hint: :q!
