Hey its not my fault, im computer illiterate and star trek is for needs. Also i got banned from reddit.
Okay, no Linux, no Star Trek. Cool cool. But you're a femboy furry, right?
If so they'd be into Linux by default.
I have no hatred in my heart for our BSD-using Star Wars-watching compatriots.
The !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org artist is a BSD guy.
It's okay to dance to the beat of a different drummer.
I mean... Yeah. The fish.
i hate star trek but i love linux
Why are you even here? /jk
I would thank you to start using Linux
Shit! I've been watching linux and using Star Trek!
Blocking the Linux communities is like playing whack a mole here. Nothing against Linux but Linux bros are insufferable
Seriously. That star Trek sub is like a cafeteria table of high school girls that are constantly giggling. I don't understand it at all. I understand less why it's so funny. It is fucking funny though.
I don't understand why a large part of adults of the word are so into that other space franchise, far in the future the time when characters have to fight with pink glowsticks for some reason.
Now that's funny.
I think Star Trek lends itself well to memes, because it's already a show where obscurities are questioned.
I thought I was a nerd until I got here, now im still a nerd but not a super nerd.
Don't kid yourself, we can tell. Oh yes, we can tell.
Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and the community here over Linux just annoys me. It is this all high and saving OS but why hasn't it done so yet.
Why does the community and answering questions about Linux suck. Linux great and I use it but people here act like they figured something out the rest of the world hasn't but when the rest of the world tries to figure it out the response is, "good luck, figured it out, go back to Windows loser." Just annoys the hell out of me.
I have also never watched Star Trek but it seems good.
Its the same kind if vibe as when you hang out with certain Jazz musicians / fans and they start discussing chord substitutions, extensions, etc.
I should add that while I'm not specifically a "Jazz Musician", I play piano , and utilise substitutions, extensions etc. :)
I use Debian btw.
I agree. Their solution for everything is FOSS and like... No sometimes people don't want an alternative for what they're talking about they want the actual thing they're talking about
The original series is all I've seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It's campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.
I too joined when the API shenanigans started. But...
Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and ....
it's good to know I've got a million and one people to ask questions when I finally make the switch. It's inevitable. Honestly lack of free time (read home PC has not been prioritized) has been the only hurdle. I've dabbled over the years, just barely.
I have an old Thinkpad tablet (X2___ or 4___ idk) that I want to switch over. It had a few offline duties w/ W7, but that's all done now. I settled on OpenSUSE and made a live USB to start. Works on my desktop but haven't gotten it to boot on the Thinkpad. I've found I need to go to the grub2 folder and can do so at the grub prompt (rescue, probably) but I still run into something about cannot validate cli...
Yes, I'm chumming the waters while I'm stuck inline. Sorry to detour!

Could always learn German
Nein, scheint eine dumme Sprache zu sein.
I honestly don't know what Linux is this has inspired me to ask in !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
It's a toaster
If this was your joke then apologies, but it probably is in a load of 'smart' toasters. If they exst of course, I assume they do.
It's a joke. Linux is an operating system
Well linux is the kernel of many operating systems, including many 'smart' devices.
I don't know much about Linux, but it's the system on the computer I share at home. I think I've become spoiled to it.
I recently started a new job and was issued a PC laptop. The amount of obnoxious pop-ups and AI crap that I can't seem to find settings to disable are infuriating. It's like the computer and the Google apps we use assume I can't do or figure out anything on my own.
Also, tangential, Gemini needs to stop suggesting itself - yes, I know you're there. I'm ignoring you because I can't seem to block you, but I wish you'd just leave me alone.
Is it a Chromebook? PC stands for personal computer. So a PC laptop could have any OS on it. The usual assumption is Windows but you said Gemini keeps harassing you and not Copilot so it sounds like it could be a Chromebook. Those used to be locked down horrible machines, but I haven't used one recently.
Ah yes, it is a Chromebook. Sorry, I didn't realize it was a whole separate thing. I'm not hip to new/modern computer stuff, haha.
