2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.

    I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

    [–] [email protected] 57 points 5 months ago

    Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (9 children)

    Or maybe stop treating it like a religion that needs converts and only appeals to conspiracy theorists in the long run when people realize the lies they were fed about it.

    [–] [email protected] 45 points 5 months ago

    What lies were people fed about Tuxcart?

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

    I went from not owning a proper computer for nearly a decade to exclusively using mint for work, school, and gaming emulators. Works flawlessly, everything's pretty intuitive, zero issues whatsoever. Maybe my use case isn't crazy but for the average joe, Linux works just fine. What lies was I fed?

    Hahaha Windows users having sense

    have no idea how to install another OS

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    I'll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!

    (I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I know how to quit smoking weed erry day, I simply choose not to.

    Damn, just call me out dude

    It's all in good fun

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Well Ubuntu is shit XD

    Try KDE.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    KDE is available for Ubuntu. There's even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Yup and since like 2 weeks that version doesnt suck anymore.

    Before that, it did.

    And there are more issues with Ubuntu than just their atrociously themed GNOME. Bad updater, not shipping GNOME Software (ootb), no flatpak support (ootb), simply following outdated paradigms

    I can, I just prefer windows

    The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

    Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

    Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

    Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

    Mac owners have money? more like had money

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

    Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

    Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

    Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

    Windows users have regrets

    Mac users have stockholm syndrome

    Linux users have a computer

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

    Linux

    Have time to make everything work before doing anything

    Also I live in a river in Egypt bitch, guess which one first one guess doesn't count and you can't repeat guesses and only possible answers allowed..

    Also there's a camera recording everything I'm doing at all times that's somewhat accessible to hackers.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    First guess is "the Nile" second guess is "denial" , third guess is Sinai. Also, what the hell is that, an AI catcher?

    Open source kart racer with a bunch of open source mascots as playable characters

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.

    TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989

    If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.
