  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

    Jump

  • I tried a bunch on distros when I switched to Linux full time. Currently I have OpenSUSE in my laptop but I don’t think that will last too much longer. I’ve been running Fedora on my main machine for months now and it makes a lot of my other distros just feel clunky.

  • Julian Assange Free on Bail, Departs UK for Australia!

  • He got kicked out after he smeared shit all over the walls.

  • Dry your filament!

    Jump

  • I had the same problem but it can get so humid here that I’m drying my filament every day.

  • What does the world think of India?

    Jump

  • Honestly, off the top of my head I often like the people who come to England but as far as the country itself I don’t really think about it much. First thoughts are that it’s a massive country that’s heavily polluted and kinda obsessed with making money without much care for how they do it, such as how much of the world is making sacrifices to stop buying gas from Russia but India’s just undermining their good intentions for profit. I think if Pakistan invaded they’d expect the whole world to rally around them.

    Why I Can't Use Linux - My Top 3 Reasons

    Jump

  • If people ever wonder why people don’t use Linux they should just read the comments here. People are so obsessed with blaming users for not using Linux rather than trying to make Linux meet their expectations.

    Most people will go to a shop and buy a laptop with Windows preinstalled and ready to be used, and even if they’re brave enough to install the OS themselves (most aren’t) they will still expect pretty much everything to work automatically after the install.

    I don’t know what the solution is here but it’s not to blame users.

  • What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

  • Are there sites out there tracking these things? If a company didn’t do this I certainly wouldn’t be noticing.

  • Mastercard To Phase Out Manual Card Entry For Online Payments In Europe By 2030

    Jump

  • I’m always down for stuff like this but it doesn’t sound much different from having to approve the payment in the app or using one of those single-use cards. I’ll wait and see how the passkey works.

  • France's Macron dissolves parliament, calls new elections

    Jump

  • Could be a good idea? If the right wing parties won due to low turnout from normal voters then it might be a good idea to call the election while it’s still fresh in everyone’s minds.

  • Fedora 41 to Transfer Anaconda Installer to Wayland

    Jump

  • I don’t know much about the tech behind either, but when I’m using VNC it feels like I’m just remote controlling the mouse and keyboard on another machine via a series of streaming jpegs and when it’s full screen I either have to scale the display so all the elements on the screen are too small or too big, or have scroll bars.

    With RDP it’s so smooth it’s like I’m on the other machine. RDP doesn’t just remote control the screen on the other computer, it creates a new desktop session formatted for the remote computer. Someone else can even use the other computer while you log in as a different user. I don’t know if VNC can do this but RDP can even forward local drives and devices to the remote computer, you could plug a USB into your laptop and have it connect to the machine you’re RDPing into. It’s so seamless that I often forget I’m using a different machine when I have it in full screen.

  • Fedora 41 to Transfer Anaconda Installer to Wayland

    Jump

  • I don’t care that it’s Microsoft, RDP is so much better than VNC.

  • Summer is the worst season of the year, isn't?

    Jump

  • I love summer. I love wearing shorts and t-shirts, swimming in the sea, being outside, and opening the doors like the garden is just another room in my house.

  • Which Med Should I Try Next?

    Jump

  • I take ZMA, is that the same type/quantity of magnesium? If nothing else it helps me sleep.

  • Graduate's father arrested for blocking Black superintendent from shaking daughter's hand

    Jump

  • The article also mentions that it may have happened because the father was unhappy with how the superintendent had dealt with the daughter being bullied.

  • Linux on old School Machines?

    Jump

  • As long as you can secure them it should be fine, and as long as you can deal with the user account issues. You’ll either need to join them to your Windows domain or explain to people why they can’t use their normal username and password. You’ll probably find the kids understand it better than the teachers.

  • Is it possible to use Linux without the command line?

    Jump

  • I wish I could just go 10 minutes without using terminal.

    I always think Linux caters to people with incredibly basic requirements such as a bit of web browsing, emails, and editing a document. And it obviously caters to total nerds like the kind of people who subscribe to the Linux section of Lemmy.

    However, it really doesn’t cater well to the inbetweeners who want stuff a bit more advanced than what an iPad can do, it kind of just lumps them with a huge learning curve and says “get on with it”.

  • 7 Common Linux Myths You Should Stop Believing

    Jump

  • Two things. Linux certainly does have a difficult learning curve, at least compared to Windows and OSX. I’m currently in Fedora 39 and I had to dig up some terminal commands off the internet just so I wasn’t choosing between 100% and 200% scaling. That’s just beyond the average computer user.

    Secondly, I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS. Anyone that cares already knows, and anyone that doesn’t know doesn’t care.

  • do you use 4chan?

    Jump

  • I used it around the time of Epic Fail Guy and barrel rolls. It was fun for a while but I eventually realised that it was the same jokes and content going around again and again. Then someone posted a spoiler for Bioshock and I was done with it.

    As for tech answers it’s probably about as reliable as an AI. I wouldn’t expect people to generally lie to you but there would be the occasional bit of bullshit from some troll from /b/. I’m sure you’ll get abuse if people think you’re being stupid, probably worse than a Linux forum.
