1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Lemme interrupt you, what You're referring to is actually a funny little penguin in combination with a wildebeest.

    Are we gonna talk about the mastodon in the room?

    I hated the “lemming” association to Lemmy until I started seeing the “Let me” association.

    [–] Vanshaj 6 points 1 year ago

    Yes, indeed.

    They should add a Bill Gates racecar to Super Tux Kart. It could be covered with ads, and so bloated that it never actually wins a race.

    I used to spend hours playing xbill instead of doing homework

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Someone should email that to Bill Gates.

    Holy early 2000s website design, Batman!

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Actually you could create your own kart (with blender ig)

    Yea I never cared about the privacy or security at all I just like the penguin

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

    Penguins are our favourite birds.

    That was a reference to We Didn't Start The Kernel by SUSE but sure

    [–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Given that this article exists. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

    I'll put my bets on the penguin.

    Btw that is one of the worst guides on installing linux

    Win what competition? Userbase, profits, data mining, ease of use? We must know the question before the answer.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    One of these is not like the others

    The winner is three people hugging each other in a circle

    It used to be, but I'm getting ready to try something new cuz Ubuntu isn't working very well on my laptop, in spite of having used it for a decade.

    [–] Resol 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Having held the crown once but not anymore still kinda counts in my book.

    Good luck trying out those other distros. I heard that some mint flavored one is pretty nice.

    [–] RubberElectrons 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I wish my login screen didn't take 10s to process my password, correct or not. Why does my Intel wifi just drop on its own so often, where no other devices do? Other Wayland stuff as well.

    Sigh.

    [–] Resol 1 points 1 year ago

    My WiFi is genuinely worse than 2G speeds at times. And by "at times", I mean 3/5 of the time.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Idk man, I use all three major operating systems where they are appropriate (I like my MacBooks for dev, I know apple sucks now and all but I still prefer them).

    I’m way way past my zealot days of trying to get people to convert to Linux, and windows isn’t really as dogsjit was it was in the early 00s… not to say it’s perfect, but it plays my games great.

    Home lab and work infrastructure? All Linux, in various flavors.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    You should try playing games on Linux with proton. It's gotten so good in the past 3 years that I have not wanted to play games on Windows since COVID.

    I have only seen games not work on Linux when it required a rootkit and I don't care to have that installed outside of a sandbox anyway.

    If there is still a place for windows, it's for games that require root kits and for the handful of specialized software that won't run on Linux.

    Even when a company forces me to use a windows laptop, I just install arch in wsl2 and do all my work there.

    I guess I have my steam deck, that kinda counts!

    [–] RubberElectrons 3 points 1 year ago

    I need it for my engineering apps unfortunately.. but even then, I run windows in kvm lol

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

    I think its a thing from person to person, for me linux works best for dev, idk it just integrates better. :p

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Yep I get it. I’ve been on macOS for 15 years because that’s what Silicon Valley companies hand out generally, so I just got used to it. I’m sure I could feel comfortable using desktop Linux after a while, I just haven’t since like 2002

    [–] molochthagod 8 points 1 year ago

    I prefer to think of Tux as one of those huge albino penguins from At the Mountains of Madness

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    The funny little penguin is a taimed beast.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    My colleague asked me to use Zorin OS or Pop OS as I am not good with coding and stuff. I have to say Zorin OS is so much like Mac OS. All my laptops and desktop PC is now running Zorin OS

    Uhh. I'm not sure I understand the meme... I'm not trying to create a war here, but Windows has very clearly won has it not? It makes way more money, has much higher user share, has much higher recognition Etc. ... I'm not sure this meme makes much sense.

    [–] PizzaMan 5 points 1 year ago

    Money/users/recognition isn't really what OP is suggest linux wins on.
