1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Closer to the EoL time, someone is going to release a version of Linux that is basically windows, with a super locked down interface etc to make it so newbies can install and use with zero CLI or setup.

    Or at least some serious consumer-grade onboarding.

    Presumably it will have reduced functionality to make it as stable as humanly possible too.

    And they'll probably become one of the larger distributions until people get the confidence to "upgrade" to a more complex one.

    is this not what the steam deck os will eventually offer? cause I can see myself using that on my desktop eventually

    [–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Didn't know that was a thing outside of steam deck.

    But yeah I'm waiting until the last moment because it's likely that's when the best contender will appear.

    I think they're working on it, I could have sworn they said they were but a quick Google search shows nothing for me..

    I saw someone posted bazzite as an alternative to steam os, but I'd just rather wait for whatever valve puts out at this point. I trust them to make it happen a little bit too much lol

    If they can get a version that just runs all Windows programs (not just games) out of the box without user modification then great. I'd consider that to be an actual Windows replacement.

    If all you're running is a browser and some light office suite use then great, Linux can do that now. Otherwise what people saying "just switch to Linux" are really saying is "stop using your PC".
