1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    But you haven't clicked yes on any of the offers yet...

    Would you like to back up your folders to OneDrive?
    It would be a shame if something were to happen to your files!

    Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Ubuntu could have taken windows spot

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    They are nowhere near close to windows

    [–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I'm with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I'll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.

    [–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 months ago

    There were a few good lenses for Unity, like the porn one.

    [–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (9 children)

    Well. in the modern day, there's Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.

    I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.

    Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can't install the native version without ridiculous workarounds... it's absurd. And on top of this, it's especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.

    My wife started joking about " if I update it at this point it's gonna brick it" and I laughed so hard because she's not even an IT person

    [–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 46 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    Due to all the registry and group policy changes I've made to decrapify Windows, I'm legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they've only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.

    "New device detected: mouse. Please wait…"

    But the mouse is already working dude.

    [–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    At least it doesn't make us restart afterwards anymore.

    [–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 21 points 6 months ago

    "Mouse movement detected, please restart for changes to take effect."

    Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said "Don't Panic"?

    That was the most panic inducing moment I've ever had with any PC.

    [–] renzev@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

    switch to gnome; customizations are intentionally buried because a huge majority of users don't go very deep w with them.

    I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.

    [–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 24 points 6 months ago

    Yeah but have you had these new ads for 4 years?

    [–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    "Let's check this one off the list." Bitch I only installed you to play The Void. One more peep out of you and you're derezzed.

    [–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    The Void

    Why though? That looks like an XP era game. Does it not work with proton?

    [–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Ran into a game breakinf bug on linux. Maybe they patched it by now, but I doubt it.

    Guess that's how it is

    Well stop trying to enter your sister's chamber.

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

    Jesus, I don't miss that shit. Now, it has to be something way the hell out in left field to not be picked up and installed silently. linux-firmware ftw

    [–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    they were the worst updates because it guaranteed it was installing some bullshit you didnt want

    I admit to being old and out of touch, but why is this meme a sandwich?

    [–] CatLikeLemming@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.

    [–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
    [–] renzev@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    A while ago I saw this meme about the exact experience you're having right now. We've come full circle lol.

    [–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

    This warms my heart! Thanks.
