  • Sir this is the nerd zone, and here you are complaining that there's nerds in the nerd zone talking about nerd things.

    I convinced many of average Joes and Marys to switch without issue, never have I had to bother tell them what a wayland or X11 is, I just put Linux Mint on their laptops, give them a few practical tips (stuff like "use the app store instead of scouring websites for your software"), things just work and they happily go do whatever they do with their PC.

    Which distro?

    Whichever one you prefer.

    I don't have the Windows issues you all tell me I have

    Cool, /c/windows is over here you might probably enjoy it more than this place.

  • JSJSJS

    Jump
  • Tech worker and enthusiast vs slopper

  • you don't have to memorize the commands, just use tldr command and apropos to your advantage.

    Everything will seem difficult when you're not used to it and are changing habit, it's not just a GUI to CLI thing.

  • Pardon my ignorance but what does P&CI stand for?

    Edit: nvm got it I think it's Point & Click Interface

  • Just cause you opt out of those features doesn't mean the car doesn't have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex.

    Inb4 "but I don't have to worry about it cause I don't have sex" we know, but that's not the only thing they gather data on.

  • Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn't have internet and there should be less cars. In total absence of offline cars (meaning no used cars, nothing at all), use bikes and public transportation if you can.

    I mean you literally asked for an alternative and I gave you one.

  • Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can't find normal, used, dumb cars anymore

  • And this is another reason why putting internet on cars is a bad idea

  • Besides, the real command is rm -fr ~

  • Use an easy to use immutable distro like Fedora silverblue

  • Tbf not letting the average windows user turn off windows defender is a good idea

  • I honestly don't see this thorough testing. Not for a lot of apps I use anyway. It's normal tbf even with 2 year you can't thoroughly test every package for every bug, so you're stuck with very old bugs a lot more often than people think. And on top of that some packages are so old that instructions you find on their git pages or wherever are too new and don't work.

  • Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

  • I use Arch btw

  • They can't be arsed to choose pragmatically between two bad candidates when voting and we're to believe they can do a revolution that involves several harder choices? Do these people think revolutions are easy walks in the park where you never have to make hard choices like, for example, killing your neighbors for being in the way of the revolution or how to handle POWs, etc.

    Some people assume that voting and political activism are mutually exclusive, these people are stupid and won't win a revolution. These two things are not mutually exclusive, voting doesn't stop you from protesting and being politically engaged and vice versa.
