  • Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?

    Jump

  • If it's any comfort to you (heh), a Linux user trying to install Windows on a second drive would probably see its bootloader ruined by Windows as well.

    That's why I don't do dualboots. Screw it.

  • [Epic Games] Backpack Hero | 100% off/Giveaway

    Jump

  • It's a fun little game, especially for the Steam Deck. Finding the right synergy so your backpack can deal max damage is very nice. Unfortunately, as time progresses and more and more items get unlocked, it gets harder to find any synergy as there are too many items not working together. Still, fun game where the ultimate goal is to build up your village with goods you bring home after every dungeon run.

  • Linux and Windows are probably just equally as difficult to use to the average user. Might as well go Linux with less obnoxious features like copilot and recall. My dad was a Windows user for many many years, but he still knew zilch about how to solve problems in Windows. The average user would need to google anyway, no matter which OS.

    And with the right distro (Linux Mint for example) you would have zero interactions with the terminal. Everything's done via the GUI, just like Windows.

    I've had to interact with weird things in Windows lately which I had to google up like 'open the run programs and type in srvcmngmt.msc' or whatever that was again. Something that apparently couldn't have been done via the GUI. Great job!

    For the record I am still mainly a Windows user.

  • Windows 10 is about to be end-of-life this October. You probably think 'just update your OS to Windows 11', but many computers are deemed unfit for Windows 11 by Microsoft.

    In order to move on to Windows 11, many people, and I do really mean a ridiculously large amount of people would need to buy a new computer or laptop. In the meantime their old systems are still fit for everyday use, so there is quite a lot of e-waste coming up.

    Instead of just dumping the old computers you can just put Linux on them and continue using them. Linux costs nothing, just time. So if you don't have specialized software which absolutely must have Windows, you might as well just switch to Linux and keep using your old systems which are still perfectly fine for your everyday needs.

    My old gaming laptop that I still use right now is from 2018. It does have the TPM 2.0 chip that Windows 11 requires, but its CPU is like just one generation too old for it. So, what do I do? When Windows 10 stops getting its updates, throw it away? Naw man, Linux will work. You can even game on Linux just fine as the Steam Deck has proven already, so I'll just switch my sweet laptop over to Linux and continue using it as usual.

    PERCHANCE QUESTION New faces too much the same?? HALP!

    Jump

  • Wow, I could immediately see that the image is AI-generated... and it is also fucking ugly.

    Which immediately explains why almost all AI faces look similar. It's so clearly recognized as AI.

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

  • Didn't the UK recently have a controversial online safety act or something? And didn't many servers defederate UK servers as result?

  • Oh nice! No trouble with snails? I simply cannot have homegrown strawberries because snails and slugs get to them first.

  • Thank you. I don't get the linkdumping around here.

  • Is there a Lemmy server/way that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers?

  • Just curious, what's the 5% that doesn't work with JS disabled?

  • Simplest way is to change a law: The car is always at fault. Even if the bike was the one causing an accident, the car is at fault. That's what the Netherlands has.

  • The last note taking app you'll ever need

    Jump

  • It took me far too long to figure out what note taking app this here is even talking about. Apparently it's a homemade app named Directus?
