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, 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.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
    •  

    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.

    Unfortunately I've definitely been the raven at least once.

    It's not coming completely out of nowhere. The fact that you're having a discussion on Lemmy means the people you're conversing with are aware that you're willing to consider libre alternatives to shitty mainstream tech.

    I used to suggest linux to my friends and family but i stopped doing that as i found none of them actually cared what OS they ran. They also have a misunderstanding that Linux is very complex and difficult to use.

    I've been trying to switch to Linux for 30 years now and am still trying to figure out permissions. Best of luck!

    [–] AnAnxiousCorgi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    Can't have permission issues if you 777 everything

    Oh, I'm sorry. Is there supposed to be some kind of joke here??? This strikes me as perfectly reasonable!

    Yeah not a very big fan of trying to get people to switch platforms especially if they are non-technical as if they A) have the mental bandwidth to change their whole workflow paradigm to appease someone else’s ideals, and B) even have a use case where Linux is an option

    Anyone’s negative feelings for Windows and Office’s telemetry or Apple’s walled garden is justified but if I do know what Linux is, I didn’t decide to use Windows because I wanted to lick bill gates’ boots, I have a specific use case. And if I don’t know what it is, I probably need the OOB usability that Windows and OSX offer

    Why? So I can have more trouble? :P

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Try turning it off and on again and then try switching to Linux.

    [–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

    Well you have to turn it off to get into the boot menu don't you?

    [–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I bought a Steam Deck and got Win 11 up and running on an external SSD just to piss off the raven. :)

    The fact is that certain things require Windows, and yeah, you might be able to jump through some hoops to get them to kinda/sorta run under Linux, but if you have a hard time with Windows, you'll never be able to do that in Linux.

    Replace some troubles, with different troubles. Brilliant, as usual...

    [–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

    I've had my own problems with Linux, it mostly depends which problems you prefer

    [–] itsJoelleScott@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

    God bless, it happens in the other direction too.
