1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Would you like to back up your folders to OneDrive?
    It would be a shame if something were to happen to your files!

    Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!

    Ubuntu could have taken windows spot

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    They are nowhere near close to windows

    Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.

    [–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I'm with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I'll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

    There were a few good lenses for Unity, like the porn one.

    Well. in the modern day, there's Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.

    I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.

    Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can't install the native version without ridiculous workarounds... it's absurd. And on top of this, it's especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.

    You WILL set up Cortana or you WILL be put through the Setup Wizard

    My wife started joking about " if I update it at this point it's gonna brick it" and I laughed so hard because she's not even an IT person

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Due to all the registry and group policy changes I've made to decrapify Windows, I'm legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they've only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.

    "New device detected: mouse. Please wait…"

    But the mouse is already working dude.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    At least it doesn't make us restart afterwards anymore.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

    "Mouse movement detected, please restart for changes to take effect."

    Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said "Don't Panic"?

    That was the most panic inducing moment I've ever had with any PC.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

    I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Heard you loud and clear. Maybe Later it is then.

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

    Yeah but have you had these new ads for 4 years?

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

    i plan to move to linux very very soon but winaero tweaker can take care of most of this stuff in windows

    …still insane that it exists at all though. especially with the only options being continue and remind me in 3 days

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    "Let's check this one off the list." Bitch I only installed you to play The Void. One more peep out of you and you're derezzed.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    The Void

    Why though? That looks like an XP era game. Does it not work with proton?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ran into a game breakinf bug on linux. Maybe they patched it by now, but I doubt it.

    Guess that's how it is

    Significant Bugs: game craches when i try to enter to second sister chamber

    Well stop trying to enter your sister's chamber.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

    Jesus, I don't miss that shit. Now, it has to be something way the hell out in left field to not be picked up and installed silently. linux-firmware ftw

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    Windoof on my computer got an update last week. I wonder when it's done. /j

    (But seriously, it took almost the whole evening.)

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    they were the worst updates because it guaranteed it was installing some bullshit you didnt want

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    I wouldn’t know

    I admit to being old and out of touch, but why is this meme a sandwich?

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of "People be like "Subway sucks". Bro, you made the sandwich." and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    A while ago I saw this meme about the exact experience you're having right now. We've come full circle lol.
