Hell naw, fuck Microsoft 🖕

50% of being a Linux user is hate towards Windows so I’d say it fits

China is doing something good: here’s why it’s bad.

If we are in a simulation it means God is the ascended version of a gigantic Linux server

I’d like to interject for a moment, what you are referring to as Mexico is in fact the United States of Mexico.  A Federation Republic comprised of 31 free and sovereign States each with its own constitution, judiciary, and democratically election Congressional entity.   The 31 individual and unique States form a Federation consisting of a bilateral Congress consisting of a Republic Senate and a Chamber of Deputies entrusted with creation of law,  imposing taxes,  ratifying treaties and international diplomacy.  The Federal entity is further comprised of an Executive wing charged with enforcing the laws,  emergency dictation and commanding the military.  The third and final wing is a Judicial entity consisting of regional courts and a High Court of 11 jurist charged with interpreting any discrepancies that may between the Sovreign States or within the Law itself

I don’t know, I’m not a power-user so systemd is just a thing in the background, I don’t have much opinions over it.

I think you might be tilting at windmills a bit.

No systemd love or hate for me, as for the meme, I respect both opinions (I’m still learning btw) but don’t particularly like proselitjzers. Sharing an opinion and experiences (like you did) is fine and often informative, what I don’t like are people (expecially on lower-quality places like 4chan) spamming stuff like “systemd is the devil and killed my child” or “systemd weights more than the Linux kernel” I guess I need to make up my mind, haven’t interacted with the OS at a low enough level yet.

my concern is that some of the more commonly used video types might have trouble on Linux, or that some of the word document templates I use in Windows might have compatibility issues.

As for the first point, never had issues with video reproduction on Linux myself.

As for the second: a year or so ago MS released it’s office suite on the web, so if libreoffice (free and open source office suite pre-installed in many Linux distros) has trouble reading your documents (proprietary formats like .docx that not always work on libreoffice) there’s always the web version of MS office.

1. A newcomer probably doesn’t even know what X11 and Wayland are, let alone the differences between the two.

2. Linux Mint has planned experimental wayland support for Christmas 2023.

I got 3 user-deleted videos in a row

Apartheid Linux (it really exists, apparently)

Am I victim of the Mandela effect or did this happen some years ago too? I remember setting up chrome on win10 in my tech-normie days and getting a similar thing, maybe my memory is failing me.

The competition between Chrome and Edge is very shallow, they’re two slightly altered and heavily branded reskins of chromium, the real competition would be Firefox and it’s forks (mullvad, waterfox, librewolf) (and maybe webkit aka safari) Vs chromium but there’s no big corporation behind those (except safari, but it has many of the problems that big corpo chromium browsers have) , so they’re struggling a lot.

The balls of naming a community “news” and removing stuff that isn’t of interest to a small fraction of the world population on an instance that should represent the whole world.

After like what, 3 months of A/B testing in one country? Sinking ship gonna sink.

We are pretty happy with framework, tuxedo and system76 even if their products often cost loads of money and for sure aren’t perfect.

How old in the past did Linus acknowledge it? my source says he dislikes/disliked microkernel, it dates to 2001 ,if you have a more recent source proving that he no longer thinks it I’ll look at it

The source is this

Unfortunately I can’t remember the timestamp, but it’s right around when he starts speaking about when the MINIX creator bashed him, IIRC (not to bash on you, but this implies the point you’re making, that Linux shouldn’t have a monolithic kernel is 30 years old,)

Same, it read like a shitpost on /g/

Don’t the Linux kernel or the GNU core utils violate unix philosophy too? Philosophical ideas become outdated, there aren’t many presocratics around.

I know quite a few oxygen addicts then…

Jokes aside, saying that WhatsApp is an addiction is like saying that Americans are addicted to SMS, Imessage or whatever they use down there
