I see slackware. Im happy!
operating system dysphoria
So what would WSL look like?
Blur the line in the middle
I’m in favor of whichever one doesn’t contain “join society”
I’m in favour of whichever doesn’t fill my screen with ads during installation
Be happy
Lol wat. Linux has been nothing but a pain in the ass. Nothing supports it so you have to work around everything to get what you want to work. Have to relearn an entire system, a system so user hateful that in some distros you have to put in a sudo string to move files and folders instead of dragging and dropping like everything else. And then you slowly devolve into a Linux bro where you paste multiple Linux memes at the same time into the community.
Pass.
Stamets my dearest, us Linux users are like the Fremen; eyes devoid of white from our proximity to the computer melange. Every bit just as extremist. With the Steam Deck we have found our Lisan-alGaib. This path is a dangerous one.
Also: Every community within the Linux world is toxic - according to other communities within the Linux world.
and look at the windows fanboys in my comments?
Fanboys are crazy on a whole other level.
Fair point. I didn’t mention any specific distro for that reason. People get hyped over a specific one and all others might as well be satan spawn. So doesn’t matter which one you use, you’re goin to have the headache of asking for help and being talked down to by someone for not using the right distro.
Does Windows suck? Yeah. But it does what I tell it to do, is intuitive, is actually supported by everything, is popular enough to have findable fixes online for any problem and doesn’t require a 101 class to understand.
My day job is in-house tech support in a 100% Windows environment. Trust me: neither is it intuitive for users, nor does it always do what you tell it to do …
But normal windows doesn’t really do what you tell it to do
hehe u are so angry
someone hurt u, little guy?
well your very educated and have used Linux extensively, I can see that much
I’m honestly whelmed with how many straigh up facts they’re spittin’
And then if you ever have to do anything with the system beyond that GUI, you have to spend the next day on Google trying to figure out what sudo string to put in to get what you want in the first place. Thereby relearning the entire system. No system ever works perfectly and to pretend that you can stay surface level forever is just denying reality.
But sure. The fact that some distros have good graphical interfaces totally makes up for every other major downside of Linux.
And thanks for proving the Linuxhead stuff dead accurate. Ignore half the complaints and focus on a single one because it’s the only one you could “refute”. Have no interest in this Linux-typical disingenuous garbage.
ive had to work with the command line when windows broke as well, your just being naive
Joke on you, us Linux users dosn’t use that Google spyware
I am well aware. Y’all don’t stop mentioning it. You’re like Internet vegans. But my comment is talking about the average user who is gonna be confused and have to go back to a search engine to figure out the basics of what is going on. With no results guaranteed because of a hundred different distros and confusing permissions and strings you have to put in.
Linux is more like a family of operating systems. Each can be different but the share many commonalities. The only time i spend searching up fixes on Linux is for my coding projects where I intentionally am looking for something to fuck around with. Anyone can choose whatever OS they like, I am just quite unhappy with the state of Windows with all its issues. Forcing Cortana to listen and fingerprint using microphone and browser history, forcing upgrades to windows 11 (which is slow AF), it breaks Windows to uninstall edge browser, few customization options and no custom theming with built-in tools, the search bar never giving the correct results and redirecting to bing, etc. Its so limited and the only thing it has going for it is that developers make software for it. I have spent so much time on windows fixing driver issues, internet buggyness, apps behaving erradically, etc. So Linux is an option but of course learning a new system takes time and research: we all had to learn how to use windows at some point.
hundred different distros? most are based on either arch or debian, and enterprise distros come with support windows, just like linux has different users which each have their own permissions 🙃 as well as an admin and user level
Seemy like you dont know how the cli actually works.
So if you ever have to touch the CLI (not sure when a normal user would need to), you complain you dont know the CLI instead of learning the tools you want to use?
Lots of stuff on Windows didnt work for me when i wanted advanced things… very intuitive to fix that, if it was even possible.
Every system has its fair share, but if you are unwilling to learn and understand your tools before using them, you might drill yourself in the hand. Windows is just a bit over-protective before you can do so.It’s so funny, I’m not sure what youre trying to do in Linux but it sounds like you are using it wrong. If you’re struggling to game and are not used to like just know Linux gaming support is low that’s why you are running in to issues. If you are a programmer and running into issues I suggest you go back to college or invest in learning more fundamentals about the tools you are using. If you are just someone trying to use a computer to get on Google to check your bank account or look at memes I’m confused on to what issues you are running into
Look, I understand responding to criticism. But people can use other operating systems besides Linux without the entirety of the Linux fanbase calling them stupid losers and shitting on them. You weren’t really doing that here, but either way it’s not helpful to the community.
No but it’s silly and whiny, people listen to weird complaints like this and form opinions without trying the operating system. People who frustrate them selves trying to do unnecessary super user work put a bad face on the system. There are definitely difficult parts to Linux but unless youre trying to do super obscure shit you really won’t run in to issues. It’s like someone trying to drive a car and screaming “the blinker isn’t in the same spot as my last car, the gear shift is different then my last car why is it so bad? Hey Google why does my car look like shit after I spray painted it?” It’s annoying and weird. Linux does have a cult but so does windows that’s just as annoying it’s just not here on lemmy
I’m not even using Linux, I never have before and I probably won’t (at least not in the foreseeable future) but my god, what are you talking about? That’s just mostly nonsense.
Ont-day eed-fay the oll-tray.
you have to put in a sudo string to move files and folders instead of dragging and dropping like everything else
what distro are you talking about 💀
I like WebKit browsers for linux.
Is Epiphany any good yet? I have tested it a short while like one and a half year ago and found it to be rather lacking and have stuck to Firefox ever since.
I can’t be happy with Windows? But then how am I supposed to see outside my house?
slackware users are fake
I LOVE LINUX PROPAGANDA I LOVE SEEING AN OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM GET PUSHED TO EVERYONE!!
