Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

is there any incentive to doing that? like you aren't gonna convince the average juan to use linux lalo na't sanay na sila creature comforts ng windows

I agree. Kahit sa Steam Deck community ng PH ang daming nag iinstall ng Windows OS sa deck nila kasi mas sanay sila sa Windows and mas madali mag install ng quack sa Windows OS.

is this one of the reasons why halos pabigay na yung presyo sa mga steam deck sa marketplace? hahaha sadly even if gusto ko man patulan nakasetup na yung sunshine/moonlight server ko sa bahay

In a way, yes. Mababa presyo kasi madami na stocks unlike before. Pero marami rin nagbebenta ng palugi kasi nagpadala sa hype pero hindi naman willing matuto on how to install games, tweak settings to make games playable, dual booting, and so on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Maybe. Pero kadalasan nakikita ko is mga impulsive buying tapos nahihirapan intindihin yung process ng installation sa OS. For me kasi hindi pang common knowledge yung tinkering ng system ng Steam Deck compared sa other handheld na naka Windows OS na agad.

@k5nn @ProximaPrime99992 Hindi lang naman sa Linux ang mga FOSS. Kung alam ng potential user na may kapwa Pinoy, edi baka mas madali dumami FOSS users ;)

maybe mali pagkakaintindi ko pero OP was trying to say na maybe the reason why FOSS is not widely adopted is cause lack of translation I don't think yun kasi if we look at the average Juan they use MS Office , Photoshop , Premier and naka english naman if anything I think they just don't know that FOSS alternatives such as LibreOffice , Krita and KdenLive exist and even then with things like Photoshop and Premier I don't think you could easily coax someone out of their comfort zone just like that we are creatures of habit after all pero if we see more content creators who use FOSS then yeah magkakaroon ng Following yan for sure
