If they use windows they also know what a GPU driver is, if they use AMD that’s better on linux, they don’t need to know what a GPU driver is. Unless of course the “normal” user need a rocm driver.

The sources are the same result of the search? Or at least the top results?

And it’s why Windows became the de facto standard: single UI, consistent toolset.

No so true after win 7, there’s a bunch of legacy menu.

Fedora the cat stay in a weak and each day he go closer to take some medicines we found out that she was pregnant and each day he go closer to take some medicines.

Thank god is not the US.

People can say whatever they want but they will suffer the consequences of it, you can not make death threats to people, you can not make defamation like in the case of the female Olympic athlete. If the consequences for these acts are only monetary so the law only works for poor people.

Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?

No, it’s better.

Seriously, when something that I paid for it doesn’t work is annoying when something that I choose to use doesn’t work is somewhat my fault, I think that’s the difference.

If Brazil wants to shut down the service because of that: That is their right. Welcome to the same club as North Korea, China, and Iran. But what is that move with Starlink? When and where has it become acceptable to seize assets of a company because you have beef with one of its shareholders? What does this signal to other international activities in Brazil?

First: same club as EUA right? EUA banned TikTok so yeah everyone is in the same boat right now.
Second: The move with Starlink was: Musk has a debt with Brazil, he didn’t paid the fines so the judges decide that they’ll freeze the money from Starlink because they understand that both companies are on the same corporate group

I don’t understand your statement, printing Nazi propaganda is a crime so yeah it will be shutdown for committing a crime, doesn’t matter if in the odds day they are printing school books.

For what he said is more that when he search for something he only finds CLI commands, he just doesn’t know about the GUI controls.

If you started using Linux with 6, or mac for that matter you’ll probably find that more intuitive than windows.

Sorry but the graphic interface of windows is jack shit, you have different types of system configuration and legacy menus all over the place, for anything more serious editing the Registry is not what I call intuitive.

I’ve a friend that had constantly BSOD while playing certain games and he only found the solution in a russian forum suggesting to rename a .dll file in system, that was in 2015-2016. That’s not intuitive. The biggest difference is the amount of time that people need to do that in windows vs in linux, in any case people without more knowledge in PCs are completely lost and need assistance.

But you see he invest 0.1% of their money to save some people in the world, sometimes. He is so generous.

But at the same time is easier an answer more specific things than finding a answer in the windows forums, not only that is easier to search for “fedora 40” than “windows 10 update 22ThatBreaksMyFuckingSystem000”

The alternative of showing things in the GUI is not great either because of the number of distros and desktop environment. I imagine that a article/forum response with 30 SS of the different combinations of distro + desktop environment will be overwhelming for the beginner anyway

It’s not like people need the Linux community to install Linux, they didn’t need a “windows community” to use windows.

I did that for about a year while I was waiting for a game to be supported on linux. I agree, is the best procedure.

Regardless of whether you like him or hate him, he works hard, gets shit done. Even if you don’t like it.

The guy is terminally online talking shit on xitter all day how the fuck he works hard?

I tried Lutris, Steam and Bottles, the bug with mods on DAI for what I understand is because the EA crap App doesn’t recognize launch options like Steam does so anything that depends on it doesn’t work, I don’t know why but with the Steam version you can pass I think was GAME_DATA_DIR option and Steam launches the game with the mods.

The bug on DA2 is probably EA not giving a shit with older games, the DAI, ME Andromeda and ME Legendary Edition doesn’t have it.

Extremely annoying have to pirate a bought game because the pirate version works better.

I’m starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.

If you gonna play the 3 games I can give some advice and some sadnews.

DAO is the oldest but works quite well on Linux, not a single problem.

DA2 need the fucking EA App crap bullshit to run, even on steam. Because of that crap I had a lot of problems with alt + tab, crashings, resolutions bug. To fix it I need to enable virtual desktop in the wineprefix with my monitor resolution, after that everything went smooth.

DAI again the stupid fuck EA App. If you are in the same situation than me: bought the game on Origin, not on steam, I have some bad news about mods. FrostyMods just doesn’t work and is the EA bullshit problem. With the steam version someone made a patch for linux and looks like it works.

1 out of the 3 total norwegian changed the OS after creating a lemmy account.
