I’d never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It’s now my preferred PC. But it’s also super-duper polished and painless.
I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.
And I’ve also heard gaming can be complicated on Linux, whether or not that’s true.
Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).
Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.
I hope you aren’t running EOL software. You aren’t running EOL software right?
Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers
More like going into a church and complaining there are too many hookers
I disagree because I’d still be having a good time at the brothel.
Don’t break the illusion
If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.
Then it would be like Lemmy.
More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.
Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS
Yeah, your’s is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they’re drunk but thank god they’re not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.
Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?
Yes that was always allowed
Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.
Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.
No it isn’t a thing, I’ve seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I’m pretty sure it’s either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint
Complaining that linux sucks, and complaining that there are too many linux users is two vastly different things. I think linux sucks, but I also wish there were more users because then there would be more programs for it, and it would also be better.
Yeah, I kind of agree here. I’d love to switch to Linux as my every day driver, but some things keep me tied to windows. Gaming is getting better on Linux by the day, but I still can’t use Ableton on Linux, and that’s basically a deal breaker for me. I think the newest Push has Linux support though, so who knows? Maybe one day.
I don’t care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I’m in. Enjoying something is fine, but it’s best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.
That’s me but with US politics, I blocked a few communities and moved on.
exactly what a windows user would say
k
Yep. Better to get to the finish line of life with no identity whatsoever. Life is meant to be left unlived.
What?
Leaves grow upward because they would die in the depths, just as roots would die in the air.
like, how many Star Trek communities do you need, right?
Never enough
when she looks a little further and finds out that you are cheeting
but not on her, just in the game you convinced her to play with you.
It’s contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It’s the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it’s a mild case. But there’s always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

Unfortunately, it seems that your case is

Stop it. Now. This is not tolerated in this thread and if I see you post another one like this, I will report you. People don’t give a Debian what you think is funny. I Mint it. serious frowny face serious red arrow pointing at serious frowny face /jk
Nah more like the dive bar down the street from the brothel that’s open at 6am
I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.
How so? I don’t see the analogy.
I like Linux. I like Linux users. I don’t like people who think Linux is the only viable OS to use, though. That’s just obnoxious and exhausting.
Yeah FreeBSD exists
So theres BSD, truth.
WRONG Arch is the only right distro
This person uses arch by the way
And they’re vegan.
And asexual
100% their bike is a fixie and they lock it in front of their office building, it’s the only bike on that bike rack, because they like to show how cool they think they are.
I use Ubuntu, btw.
Mint FTW!
TempleOS is the true Operating System

I caught this ubuntu server thing on my laptop, I haven’t really bothered fixing it because it’s been really handy
