  • The US is thinking about letting Ukraine use its weapons to strike Russia, even if it enrages Putin: report

  • Lemmy users don't understand nuance. "Israel bad" is all they understand.

  • There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

  • Norway, Ireland and Spain say they are recognizing a Palestinian state in historic move

  • How do you make Linux more popular?

    Jump

  • Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn't some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.

  • This is an extremely sheltered view. Most people don't even know what an operating system is, and they assume that it is an unalterable component of the computer they purchased at Best Buy. They don't have a last straw because as far as they're concerned there isn't anything they can do about it other than perhaps switching to a Mac.

  • Need a good resource to learn linux

  • Yeah, Microsoft is always trying to monetize things that shouldn't be monetized. Linux won't necessarily be easier, but it definitely won't force you to watch ads in your application menu.

  • Thanks!

  • No problems that a person with "minimal computer expertise" has are likely to require editing the registry, and if they struggle with the Settings app in Windows, they will be completely befuddled by the vast array of configuration files they will have to search through for making changes on Linux.

  • I have minimal computer expertise.

    This is the source of your problem. Unless you learn more about computers and how to use them, you're guaranteed to have more problems on Linux than you've had on Windows.

    The majority of the Windows gripes this community complains about are unlikely to ever be encountered by people with minimal expertise. Windows is fantastic as a layperson's operating system (and many Linux distros are, as well), so your problems are probably user-caused.

    This might be cliche, but the For Dummy's books by Wiley were how I started learning about both Windows and Linux when I was a teenager. In fact, they were how I learned that Linux existed and sparked a curiosity in IT that is culminating in my graduation with an IT degree in July.

  • Crapped my system

  • Yeah, OP definitely played hard mode lol

  • 50 million rendered polygons vs one spicy 4.2MB boi

  • Technically every JSON file is a single line, with line break characters here and there

  • Anyone who tells you that gaming on Linux isn't somewhat experimental is lying. I think it's getting there, though.

  • Do we like Bill Burr now?

    Jump

  • This kind of "checking that I'm still orthodox" post makes my skin crawl. Who is "we"?

  • The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine Never Ended

    Jump

  • Jacobin is a strongly biased source and unlikely to be trustworthy or accurate in it's "reporting".

  • Secret Hamas Files Show How It Spied on Everyday Palestinians

    Jump

  • They're also victims of Hamas' war crimes, because using civilians as shields and conducting military operations from civilian locations are also war crimes. If Hamas can even be accused of such, being a terror organization rather than a legitimate government.

    Jump

  • Everyday Palestinians = Hamas' meat shields.

  • Removed Deleted Locked

    United Nations halves estimate of women and children killed in Gaza

    Jump

  • Of course, anyone who has been watching Hamas for the last decade knows that they routinely lie about civilian casualties while simultaneously using them as meat shields.

  • [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?

    Jump

  • For some reason, referring to a computer or VM that runs Linux as a "Linux box" triggers me.

  • I'm back on that other OS for work

    Jump

  • Your work hasn't upgraded to Windows 11 yet, I see.
