the only issue with linux tbh is the lack of professional apps someone told me before that you have to use the open source alterntives but i have a affinity photo free trial for 6 months and i need either windows and mac to use it i can run it on linux by compiling a fork of wine that fixes it but time wasting
However anticheat games arent big of a deal anymore and i learned after switching to linux running anything in the windows kernel is very sketchy but i kinda want roblox but they well explained why they blocked linux tbh
i enjoy linux tho its very nice but i wish the app support is improved and ik this is a memes lemmy community
Use Sober for Roblox. It’s closed source though but made by same dev of vinegar.
i kinda dont wanna use the android version of roblox to game but if its my only option then prob and thats why i still dualboot windows 10(downgraded from windows 11 bcs its soo slow and garbage even on my midrange gaming pc + i have heard about it before
The Roblox mobile build isn’t really just mobile, and afaict has no issues that Windows Roblox doesn’t have.
Why?
No poblem. I only play Roblox to play my friend games. So, I didn’t know about that.
@yogthos With Apple you’ll probably have to buy a whole new computer from them
That’s correct. Apple has near the same setting but it doesn’t belong into this meme, which is more like m$ vs. Linux
Apple is actually pretty nice with how MacOS gets installed. Macs themselves have a recovery thing if you want to reinstall. If I remember correctly it is hardcoded with a version that came out before the device was released, but can automatically detect and verify a newer installed version.
They get ya by tracking every last program you open, being hostile towards user choice, and charging you hundreds of dollars for $50 of storage.
Pop os implement rexocery partition too which u can use to reinstall all os
Windows does this too where they just stop supporting older hardware. I find the worst part is that new versions of Windows/MacOS are largely just random bloat that nobody asked for.
@yogthos It’s honestly reprehensible.
indeed
I love Arch, but it’s disingenuous to say that the install process is as easy as Install? Done.
Idk archinstall is pretty straightforward if you choose a DE. No harder than installing windows if you haven’t done either before.
Help documentation and available of “support” (friendly nerds) to chat to is better than windows too.
I betcha a Feddit silver that If I ran through archinstall I’d run into some zany error not covered in the documentation
I think that would be a fair argument if the meme was claiming it was low/zero effort, but it’s just about freedom so it flies
After you get decently experienced with Linux, you’re tempted to move to a “difficult-to-setup” distro for fun and more flexibility. Nothing wrong with normie distros, but these advanced distros are really good - you can strip down “bloat”, pick your own init system, your own login daemon as well as your own job scheduler.
The prompts to upgrade Office 365 every time my gaming PC updates really hurts after using a Linux machine all day
Can’t actually buy MacOS, you have to buy their hardware. For the time being connecting with an Apple Account is still fully optional.
i dont think apple forces a account on you like microsoft does and they say they are “piracy respecting” like if you only want a editing machine then you dont need a apple account
Edit: Tbh the tracking pixels concern me but your personal data is not sold which is good and i remember in ios telemetry was opt out
I got macOS running in a VM on my Linux desktop. But then I didn’t want to connect my main iCloud account because I have heard they may ban you if you they detect you are doing stuff like this.
Without an iCloud account I can’t really do the stuff I actually would want to use macOS for, like using Apple’s movie editing software, or making iPhone apps with XCode. The default mail app is nicer than any alternative for Linux I’m aware of, at least.
I ran a hackintosh for about 7 years and they didn’t care, I used an Apple account. Don’t think I had an iCloud though, maybe it makes a difference that I set up that account originally some years prior to building the hackintosh on a real mac.
I never heard of anybody having their iCloud account blocked after using hackintosh and I have qhuite a few friends using it. I think as long as you have actual apple products connected to that account, they won’t block it as to not deter their customers.
The only case I read was on reddit, but they created a new account from scratch and the ban might not even have been related to the hackintosh but just because it was deemed suspicious.
You sound like the kinda person who mixes coca cola and fanta together
That would be a very spezial drink
I see four Linux logos and one of them looks suspiciously out of place
Yeah, Arch isn’t exactly an easy install for beginners.
I was thinking about Ubuntu pushing for snaps, but you’re probably right
I think with memes, there’s something of an implicit promise of at least some degree of comedy. I get the sentiment here about proprietary vs open source operating systems but there doesn’t really seem to be even an attempt at being funny besides maybe the way the characters are drawn which, given that as memes, they are recycled art used to establish the format, they don’t really elicit much of a laugh because there’s not even an expression of humour through the original artwork.
This isn’t really a commentary or a parallel or satire on that distinction between open source and proprietary OS installation, it’s more accurately describable as a complaint. Simply placing this complaint underneath the yes chad and crying wojak’s doesn’t really feel like a step up from a text post that says “I don’t like Windows or Mac OS because you have to pay for them and they make you sign up for and agree to things”. No one asked for my opinion I know, but I think this is a critique worth making: if you sum up your attempted meme in a bland, emotionally neutral sentence and then compare that bare sentence to its proposed meme counterpart and you can barely see the difference then maybe it’s not a meme that has to exist. The format is flexible, but you can still use traditional written words to express complex thoughts, not everything has to be meme-ified and if it’s not even funny when it is, why should it be?
Lol, $100 would be a deal now. It’s $140-200 for Windows 11 depending on if you get Home or Pro.
I looked up how much it would cost to get a Windows Server license to run in a VM on my linux server, and that’s a minimum of $500 (but possibly more depending on factors that are irrelevant as an individual). I decided I’d run unactivated Win10Home instead with some registry hacks to make things auto-start the way I want. If that stops work, I guess I’ll just stop doing automated Windows CI.
