Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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.

why do we have to use porn for meme templates?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Memes die when they become too widely spread and your elderly relatives start using them wrong on Facebook. People like porn memes because they have a little extra shock value, and will never be ruined by aunt Gertrude using it.

Why can't we? There's a mountain of non-porn memes, just use those if you want. It's not like porn memes are the only memes.

When someone recommends Linux I'll just assume they use arch.

I use arch btw.

Linux is great until you want to update your graphics card or play games. Sure it has gotten much better, but you can't deny it's a massive hassle for the majority of new users.

I didn't realize how hostile the Linux community is. I have an Nvidia card and I've never had a pleasant experience trying to make it work.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.

Granted i haven't run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia's website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.

I'll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it's steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.

Graphics cards update through the system updater, and any game that doesn't have kernel anticheat will generally just work without any extra effort from the user.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

The graphics drivers just update via repo in the store, like everything else, automatically.

Both of those things are pretty easy now days. Proton seriously changed the game, and AMD is the graphics card of choice for Linux because they don't actively hate free software like Intel and Nvidia

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

For me I just went all CPU with my laptop and save gaming for my Steam Deck or my old 360.

Honestly the only people I try to "convert" to Linux are my friends who already hate Windows, which is most of them these days.

Sadly a lot of them either still regularly use programs we can't get running on Linux yet (okay it's mostly Fortnite...). Or they're not the most tech literate people and switching to a whole new OS seems like an impossible task.

Only gotten two peeps on board the Linux train and they both had previous experience with it from school or work.

And also on the posts about Linux. And the posts linking any tech-related news. And posts asking for any kind of tech support. And on...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

Any post complaining or even talking about tech isn't complete without someone recommending linux or dropping their whole neofetch
