I really, really hate this picture. Everything is wrong with it. The pleading eyes to what can only be assumed is the adult behind the camera makes it extra bad.

Obviously people won’t respond well to being forced into something unknown or intimidating.

However, if you had a way to get it in front of them, many normal PC users would be totally fine and even have a better experience. Just go with a well supported distro made for convenience and a windows-like desktop. I think ordinary Mint Cinnamon is the obvious choice to start with.

As it should be. Beat it into them until they understand how superior it is to every other kernel!

For me, The day of become a full Linux user is coming, now that steam os and all related projects are in a high speed .

I am so close. Been testing on a laptop, finally got room setup to run, then I noticed more than half my vr library is not there, including apps for QoL while streaming. It is coming, but I doubt it will be before win 10 EoL and that makes me sad

Remember when that time traveler posted Gibby with a Stop Sign memes about Queen Elizabeth's death but due to the nature of butterfly effects she lived another few years? Good times.

Remember that time we had a rock concert at area 51?

Hey if you can get my laptop to boot from a liveusb then by all means

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm guessing it has legacy bios which then means you need a cd/floppy.

It's probably under ten years old so I didn't think of that. I assumed windows was making it more difficult somehow. Now to find a writable disc...

Back when it was relevant I would use Plop it would magically boot any machine to usb that wasn't capable yet.

First of all, "Read This Fine Manual." Secondly, I don't want people to use Linux. I'm not advocating anyone to use Linux, your best happiness costs $139 and that amount is included in the price of the device. Third, it's not for you to teach me good manners.

Wow, little girl saw the keyword "RTFM" and took offense....

Please do it first.

I had the most horrible experience trying to install it on an SSD, I'll ramble about it in some sub-lemmy to vent out 😭
