And also on the posts about Linux. And the posts linking any tech-related news. And posts asking for any kind of tech support. And on…
Any post complaining or even talking about tech isn’t complete without someone recommending linux or dropping their whole neofetch
“My game is kinda stuttering once an hour and…”
“Have you tried deleting everything and installing Linux?”
Honestly the only people I try to “convert” to Linux are my friends who already hate Windows, which is most of them these days.
Sadly a lot of them either still regularly use programs we can’t get running on Linux yet (okay it’s mostly Fortnite…). Or they’re not the most tech literate people and switching to a whole new OS seems like an impossible task.
Only gotten two peeps on board the Linux train and they both had previous experience with it from school or work.
Solution regarding Fortnite: Hook them on a game that runs well on Linux 😁.
I didn’t want any epic software on my pc so installed Fortnite on my ps5 instead to play with friends that for some reason want to play that.
Like factorio. It has arguably better support on linux than windows
Switching from W7 to a distro with a KDE Plasma desktop is much easier than the W10/11 ones imo. I find their changes to be irritatingly confusing at times and the standard Plasma layout is pretty much what you’d expect it to be, coming from Windows.
I never understood the premise of that porn. There is a guy sitting in a metro train with his fully errect cock and people are not doing anything. The lady sits next to the guy who has a tank top but nothing else? Also why does he have a fully errect cock? Imagine the tension and embarrassment you’ll get in that situation. No one can maintain a fully errect cock in that space. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
This guy is invisible to most people. Only this girl (and as later revealed in the third episode another black girl) can see him. Hence the temptation
I still remember about a woman recording a man masturbating towards her. She immediately reported the incident to train authorities and fled for safety. The man was suspicious, he should get help.
Why pron-based memes are so fucking hilarious

why do we have to use porn for meme templates?
Why can’t we? There’s a mountain of non-porn memes, just use those if you want. It’s not like porn memes are the only memes.
Memes die when they become too widely spread and your elderly relatives start using them wrong on Facebook. People like porn memes because they have a little extra shock value, and will never be ruined by aunt Gertrude using it.
The correct answer! 👍
Noone needs Gertrude to overuse and ruin memes. We can do it all on our own.
Exactly. All the more reason to use these.
Source?
I too need to verify the source material to scrutinize this accusation.

Bottom right of image. Search list is short
fortunately, with OSS, you don’t “have” to use anything! swap your CLI, your GUI, your meme template! Linux has it all!
U a meme cop or something?
What’s this “we”
Delete your account for this post
I just gave them facts. If they take that as me trying to convince them they might want to evaluate why facts sway them more than propaganda does.
Derpixon the goat
Sounds weird, I prefer Mint
I don’t try convert anyone. I just try to let people know they can get away from their abusers.
When someone recommends Linux I’ll just assume they use arch.
I use arch btw.
I use Fedora (btw) and I always want to recommend Linux, although most people I interact with irl are too tech illiterate so I don’t actually ever end up recommending it. :'(
Depends on what the person uses their pc for. If they’re just browsing the web it’ll be easy for them

I think you might be experiencing the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, bc I’ve checked through the last few days, there are a few anime memes, and like… 1 “porn” meme… So not exactly like this places is flooded with that.
I don’t really feel like they detract or distract - anime is popular culture and that is gonna end up here and anywhere online where a bunch of sweaty nerds conversate… Same with porn.
Not trying to say “just block them” – but, just block them? There are plenty of users and instances Ive blocked because I do not align with their values. It’s a little work upfront, but your viewing pleasure will be better afterwards.
Or maybe I’m in the minority and the mods can weigh in.
I unno.
yea ur right, I am overreacting. I have deleted my comment with the relization
♥️
Why did you even delete it… it’s not like there is karma on Lemmy…
I don’t care about the downvotes but I deleted it because it no longer reflects my thoughts acccurately. Hope that makes sense lol
OK… each to his own 🤷.
oh no
I love I know we’re this is from and who it’s from without seeing the logo in the corner

Linux is great until you want to update your graphics card or play games. Sure it has gotten much better, but you can’t deny it’s a massive hassle for the majority of new users.
I didn’t realize how hostile the Linux community is. I have an Nvidia card and I’ve never had a pleasant experience trying to make it work.
Why do people still spread this absolute bullshit? This isn’t 2006.
Because it’s still an issue.
It’s actually easier to keep your graphics drivers updated on Linux vs windows, at least with AMD cards. All I have to do is type “sudo dnf upgrade” or if you’re lazy click the “update” button and my system and GPU drivers are up to date.
Also in regards to games, basically everything on steam works flawlessly and that will satisfy the majority of desktop gamers
My guy, stop lying. Swapping GPUs is literally just that, I had to do nothing else. Upgrading my drivers also happens with the system updates. And pretty much all my games run either out of the box, or with very little tinkering (typically with very fresh releases), which is not really hard if you know how to do basic shit even in Windows.
It’s not. I still dual boot but boot more into Linux now as I do want to get away from Windows. The one thing that always held me back was gaming. There’s still games that don’t run but those tend to be ones that use specific anti cheat software. Certainly all the games I run work fine.
If Linux couldn’t play games the Steam Deck would be a very flawed concept!
Both of those things are pretty easy now days. Proton seriously changed the game, and AMD is the graphics card of choice for Linux because they don’t actively hate free software like Intel and Nvidia
Wait, aren’t the Intel graphics drivers open source and part of the kernel as well?
It’s just NVIDIA that refuses to play ball
My info is out of date then, I didn’t know that Intel had open source drivers for Arc. That’s awesome!
For me I just went all CPU with my laptop and save gaming for my Steam Deck or my old 360.
Unfortunately I use Nvidia. Now I know Nvidia isn’t good for Linux but wasn’t when I planned on using it.
The graphics drivers just update via repo in the store, like everything else, automatically.
Which doesn’t work, thanks. I wish it did.
Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.
Granted i haven’t run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia’s website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.
I’ll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it’s steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.
there is nvidia experience which handles updates now on windows
Unfortunately, I have multiple Nvidia cards. That’s the issue. My Linux machines don’t use Windows, at all.
What hassle? Literally don’t even check protondb anymore…I just buy games assuming they will work and 98/100, they do.
You’re totally right, it was such a pain to upgrade my last graphics card in Linux. I just turned off the computer, switched the GPUs, and powered my compy back on, because the Linux kernel includes AMD’s drivers by default and requires nothing from the user to get them installed.
Gaming still sucks though, only 10,000+ games on Steam are supported right now, so barely any. Proton is super tough to use, you have to go into Steam settings and select “Use Steam Play” then restart Steam; well beyond the capabilities of most gamers.
And then there’s the issue of controllers on the Steam Deck. Literally the only controllers that have worked so far are all my Xbox controllers, my PS5 controllers, my friend’s Switch controllers, my Logitech controller, and my MadCatz controller. And I had to plug them in or link them via Bluetooth, it took almost 2 minutes to set up once, horribly inconvenient.
Graphics cards update through the system updater, and any game that doesn’t have kernel anticheat will generally just work without any extra effort from the user.
Yeah afaik any AMD card should work out of the box with the Linux kernel, which includes AMD drivers. Never had any problems with my AMD card. Even on Nvidia it worked, admittedly proprietary Nvidia graphics driver updates frequently broke my graphics but downgrading (in a tty or even a chroot if I can’t do it graphically, I think I only ever needed a tty though I don’t think I ever needed to chroot because of an nvidia update) fixed it, and using outdated Nvidia drivers was not too big of a deal, I didn’t notice game performance issues.
And gaming on Linux is completely fine if you don’t have any kind of funky setup (like musl or whatever). The majority of my steam library has native linux versions, those that don’t play fine with Wine/Proton.
