2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    When you make fun of something that really isn't an issue it just makes your side look worse. Windows has real problems, but installing shit ain't it.

    My dad can install anything on windows with clicks, he can't do shit with a terminal.

    I'm a power user and love GUIs. I'll use git desktop all day everyday, instead of typing shit in a command line. It's one button press vs typing paths and hoping you don't misspell shit.

    I don't really get the whole command line fetish, there are no extra points in life for doing things the harder way.

    I think mixing app and system components together is a bad idea, and Linux desktop is still fighting that.

    When all the app on a consumer laptop is expected to depend on the same dependencies, the system run into dependency hell, which means many apps needs to be downgraded to keep older apps working.

    This mixture of system dependency and app dependency also prevents users to use the the latest version of an app on a hyper stable system.

    Flatpak basically aim to solve this problem, where each app chooses their own dependencies, so you don't need to downgrade all your app just because one app depends on python 2.7.

    I can't remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don't think that's ever happened on my current computer.

    [–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

    The last time I got a DLL error was back in Windows 98 ffs.

    [–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

    I got one on my work laptop this week. It's controlled by a shitty management software that is used by our IT, but still.

    I got this when I didn't have the correct .NET installed

    get an antivirus that actually works and then use either policy plus or group policy to delay windows updates

    Delay feature updates by 365 days

    Delay quality updates by 30 days

    semi-annual channel

    Disable preview builds

    then use O&O shutup10 ++ to disable the bullshit and you're golden.

    Are people still buying Windows after the invention of KMSPico ?

    [–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

    Been using Linux off and on since 2003-ish. I remember the days of having to compile applications and having to download various dependencies. Linux now is so streamlined and easy. Minus gentoo.

    Edge (Microsoft browser) thinks the Microsoft Teams exe installer FROM MICROSOFT SERVER is malware, no joke.

    I like how you specified "Microsoft browser" 😏

    Broken clock and all that

    This was made by someone who has never used either

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 11 points 12 hours ago

    Eh, Windows complaints tend to get pretty hyperbolic much of the time. It’s slow and annoying but I’ve always worked with it

    But the description of the Linux update process matches my experience with mint, pretty much. I even use the GUI update utility because it will put a little icon in the bottom corner of the screen. It’s quick even if I’m using a program that’s going an update, and if the kernel gets updated it’s just like “hey remember to reboot buddy!”

    What the actual fuck are you smoking?

    At least update this meme to the 2010s if you won't go to the 2020s

    [–] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 49 points 23 hours ago (13 children)

    I haven't had a DLL issue in Windows in like 20 years.

    WinGet: Am I a joke to you?

    WinGet, choco, scoop, &c, they all have strengths and weaknesses, which is why I had to write this: https://github.com/brianary/scripts/blob/main/Update-Everything.ps1

    It's also why I use Linux at home.
