  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

    Ah, shit, TempleOS.

    Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

    People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

    I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

    Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

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

    I might have to give that one a try.

    My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

    I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.

    Hi I'm some mf

    Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

    I know, they won't, but I'm gonna keep asking anyway

    Hey, same boat. I've tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)... But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

    Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

    so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

    People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

    If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I'm gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

    Ubuntu logo is a trinity but you're not getting laid

    The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

    L4L, must have showered and touched grass within the last 24 hours.

    And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

    [–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (6 children)

    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

    That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!

    [–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Why are both of the USB drives red?

    [–] [email protected] 81 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Because choice is an illusion.

    [–] SirHery 23 points 22 hours ago

    Both are Linux.

    [–] fluxion 10 points 20 hours ago

    I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜
