  • 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.

    A big hurdle in any technological change is the "power users". People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

    The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I was a Windows power user, but in Windows 10 I can't do anything. People be like "yeah just use group policy..." but I have home edition which worked perfectly in Windows 7/8. I could disable the anti-virus, I could disable the firewall, etc.

    Now I borked my Windows 10 because I downloaded some debloat scripts and now it won't update because update service requires the firewall service which I disabled. Fuck it, not booting into it anymore, Linux 5ever.

    [–] WanderingCat@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Nothing, because I'm behind a router

    [–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling

    [–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    There is if one of them doesn't do the job properly.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    No, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Why not 3 firewalls in case two fail?

    I'm not allowing programs in two places "just in case" what a ridiculous suggestion

    I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

    I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

    [–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ngl, you're kind of proving their point.

    Setting up a pass through GPU for Linux gaming is obsolete knowledge. Between Proton, Lutris, and Heroic Launcher I can play my entire game library directly in Linux. I haven't booted Windows in months.

    [–] wathek@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago

    Wellp, i can't. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell. Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not. I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell. And that's assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever. Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.
