  • 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.

    where mint? is it a metro train?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Probably a Prius V. Kinda good at most normal things.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I wouldn't say Mint is that underground tbh

    1. I want this meme with bikes
    2. Zorin is a tuned VW Golf (Ubuntu LTS with fancy UI)
    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, what the fuck is with the depiction of Zorin here? Someone really got wowed by that plasma theme, eh?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I installed Zorin in a VM. The install crashes when testing in live mode and then installing.

    Apart from that, its really no better or less messy than GNOME with some extensions.

    I really want an AI Top Gear/The Grand Tour episode of the three idiots arguing about Linus distros now

    Yeah the "tech tips" distro feels vaguely abusive and toxic

    The season special will be wild.

    Final sesion linus banishes the other cast members to usrland

    Why'd you gotta do that to Debian πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    What? Too fast?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

    Nah, I'm Debian user and that's a fucking solid depiction of Debian.

    It's not fancy, it's not pretty, it has no bells and whistles, but it's God damn workhorse and it'll keep on trucking no matter what you do to it.

    There is no shame in being compared to a Massey.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    Only one that can do a hard day's work without breaking down.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

    Reliable as fuck while doing all the heavy lifting for everybody downstream? Sounds right

    I have no horse in this race but anyone who has ever used a Fiat Multipla will know what a complement this is for Slackware.

    Edit: typo

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    My first thought was: So Slackware works very well but is ugly as hell?

    I don't think a single person has ever used zorin os

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I use Zorin as my daily driver for almost 4 years now.
    Ask me anything.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I work in a computer shop and we put Zorin on machines for some instances, like if it's a old/low performance machine or if the customer is trying to stick to a strict budget. We haven't had any come back, and people seem to like it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It runs my laser cutter for my business 3 years and still running on a dual core industral pc with no fans. Its pretty good

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    I mean, under the hood it's just Ubuntu. No one's questioning how reliable it is. It's just that everything that actually makes it Zorin is just a bunch of fancy skins. It was designed to be something you could load on your Grandma's PC and still have it look like Windows.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I have it installed on several old laptops/Chromebooks. It's cute, but it's not really performing how it bragged it would... Gonna have to find something leaner....

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I recommend Cinnamon for an easy and lightweight desktop.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

    It was the first distro I installed on my laptop and actually daily drived, it looks cool and the feels good to use

    And since almost nobody around me uses linux it gives a very good image with how clean it looks

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Never seriously... I only experimented with it in a VM. I know it's not against the GPL, but they way they rebrand existing things and then add licenses to them just feels scummy to me...

    That license plate is Cyrillic, but it isn't a recent, non-specialised Russian one. Both Greece and Russia use Latin homoglyphs (that is, letters of theirs that look like the Latin alphabet) on their plates so that tourists more familiar with the Latin alphabet can read license plates.

    This plate has a Π¦, which isn't in that list.

    Which leads me to wonder where it's actually from. Specialist Russian or one of the old SSRs, maybe?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    I don't know really. I just googled "ΠΊΠΎΠΏΠ΅ΠΉΠΊΠ°". You are right, in Russia we use different plate, maybe it's from USSR. I'm too young to know about it :)
