You probably wouldn’t need to have these incorrect opinions if you just started using Linux already.

Red star OS is best OS for democratic peoples Republic of Korea!

By the way your next generation is going to be 34% the size of your current one. You guys got to take some time off work.

Yeah we should replace it with legacy bios.

It’s not so cheap anymore, you need thousands of dollars worth of tools and also parts if you want to replace parts but even the gasket sets and stuff are hundreds of dollars.

Hmm maybe idk, I still think they are probably one of the better American companies but that’s not really saying much.

I don’t believe that he would make people piss in bottles. I think that was probably a hit piece or something. Also replacing laborers with robots is good although capitalism and pseudo feudalism isn’t going to survive it but that’s also a good thing.

I don’t think they killed local bookstores. I think your average person is just lazy, and publishers were too greedy to allow the audiobook to be included with the purchase of a book.

The fact that they employ a million people is insane, I didn’t realize they were that large. I think laying off half the workforce to replace with robotics is not in acceptable but good. I have been working my entire life and it’s a huge waste of my life, and I look forward to robotic automation.

The thing is, you can’t stop progress just because you miss the way things were. Things are always going to progress. The future can be cool as well.

As far as benzos and stuff, maybe the Democrats shouldn’t be so shitty to everyone who is slightly different from they are. Running a business is something most people just don’t understand. The standard isn’t what you wish were true so much as it’s what you have to do in order to compete. Capitalism is a race to the bottom, the victory of the ruthless, it’s a bad game. Until we get a better economic system, we are kind of stuck with mega corporations. It’s not a choice. It’s what people vote for along with mass surveillance, and many other terrible laws. If you want to hate someone, go hate groups like focus on the family because they are the ones who ruin your society more than anyone and distract people from economic issues by getting these assholes elected who despise the idea of a social culture.

If you are going to hate someone at least hate them for a good reason. I’m not saying he is an angel or anything, just that he is nice and has less shitty views than many of the billionaires now.

What? Nothing I said was untrue not a single thing. You are just making up stuff which is honestly pathetic. How about tell the truth you psycho? Also all those games suck, and pubg worked the last time I played it so I don’t even believe your list. You are probably lying about that too.

Most of those games actually used to work just fine until they intentionally made them not work on Linux.

That’s why saying the anticheat doesn’t work on Linux is misleading and wrong. It works on Linux just fine, they just choose to make it not support Linux with a configuration option.

I think evil is too strong a word for Amazon, I think benzos is one of the nicer billionaires but I have heard the horror stories from Amazon warehouses.

Haha well I see you haven’t met C yet.

All jokes aside complexity and chaos isn’t just there for a reason. It has a purpose. Java and C are complex but also powerful. Things that are easy to use are often very limited in what you can do. Not always but often times.

Next time try bazzite. It mostly just works out of the box and the only tools you really need extra are lutris and protonup-qt which are both guis and can be downloaded from the package store. You don’t really ever have to touch the terminal in bazzite. It comes out of the box with wine and stream and proton already configured and it has the best performing driver installed by default for your device.

Sometimes you have to add repos. Many more user friendly distros come with small repos for various reasons.

If you can find a package that works with your package manager, you can install most software with the manager or use a flatpack, but even install scripts are very easy once you learn to cd into the folder. You should really ask chatGPT to help you when you run into issues. It really helps. You can just copy and paste console output when you get errors and it will guide you through it.

Bazzite also comes with a built in onscreen keyboard and many things have it under the accessibility options. I run on screen keyboards on all my Linux devices for the occasional need, I also bought a pocket sized mini keyboard that is Bluetooth.

Most anticheat actually works fine on Linux like 99%+ of games with anticheat. It’s just a handful of titles which I don’t even like anyways, except maybe GTA online that don’t work. It’s also not a limitation of Linux but an intentional choice made by those developers to disable it on Linux. Their stated reason is because it’s easier to edit memory and stuff on Linux, so they rather just ban Linux all together instead of banning cheaters or region locking games where cheating is common, like in China. I think the real reason rockstar does it is because they have big investments in Microsoft or something. Either way I have no desire to support windows, there are plenty of games that I play, nearly all of them in fact, that work just fine on Linux. There is like maybe 2 that won’t.

Welcome brother or sister or nb thing inbetween! This is the way!

You can have both and both is actually better.

You have a system that is simple to use on the surface, auto configures itself. Has guis to do the standard tasks you need to do. Then you have everything exposed in a neat way for power users. There is no reason having a nice gui has to preclude having an infinitely hackable and well laid out system. Also the more normies who use Linux, the more corporations are forced to support it with drivers and stuff which is a win for everyone. If half of normies were using Linux on their personal machines rn, then every piece of software would support it out of the box. Since it’s open source and often copyleft, you always have the option to pick your own distro, environment, and whatever else, regardless of how much corporations want to manipulate users or control software.

The main thing is that Linux should always be hacker and developer oriented first, and supporting normies should be secondary, but also not unimportant.

Yeah well bazzite was sort of my first real long term use of Linux, it was good for that purpose. Let me mostly just use the machine without needing to be a Linux hacker. I will probably move on to a more simple system after it breaks. It works fine as it is, I can solve many little issues it might have with repos or keys or something. Flatpaks are cool and all that, but some of the software I use like my tethering app, binary decompilers and compilers, and little misc tools aren’t available in flatpaks. Sometimes if something is simple enough I just copy it into the bin folder I can’t imagine that would cause many issues other than not automatically updating.

Using containers is just too much of headache for me rn. I’m usually pretty limited in my time, I work overtime most weeks. I’m often spending hours just trying to get one or a few simple things done in my off time. Fooling with extra complexity quickly just gets out of control. I don’t want to use containers because, it’s not integrated into the system, the file system isn’t unified, it’s tons of extra stuff to learn to essentially gain little to no benefit, and it often breaks more documented ways of doing things, and I rely a lot on documentation and forum posts and chatGPT and stuff to do these things because I’m just not on that level of Linux user yet. Reinstalling an operating system is fairly trivial to me. It’s maybe a day, where adding all the complexity multiplies my inefficiencies over many days.

Hmm I guess but DNA is probably the most complex nearly illogical thing that I know of.

Interesting, this is one of the reasons I’m trying to sort of get everything to Debian eventually. I think complexity in software is often bad. Especially for someone like me who is always tweaking and changing stuff and trying things.
