    I’d never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It’s now my preferred PC. But it’s also super-duper polished and painless.

      I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.

        Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).

        Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

    If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, and you’re not there for service.

    Then it would be like Lemmy.

    source
    • Crozekiel@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      even though you’re not there for service

      I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?

      source
      • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Why come to lemmy if you’re not down for linux?

        I dunno, maybe the brothel gas a restaurant with a good prime rib special.

      • Zorque@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.

    More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.

      Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS

      Yeah, your’s is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they’re drunk but thank god they’re not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.

    Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.

    source
    • pH3ra@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No it isn’t a thing, I’ve seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I’m pretty sure it’s either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint

      source
      • nokturne213@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Complaining that linux sucks, and complaining that there are too many linux users is two vastly different things. I think linux sucks, but I also wish there were more users because then there would be more programs for it, and it would also be better.

    I don’t care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I’m in. Enjoying something is fine, but it’s best to not let anything become your identity or define you as a person.

    i came to lemmy because reddit kept banning me for pointing out the elephant in the room. i heard enough about linux from my brother, who was talking about it back in 2006. he has a mac and PC now and no time to deal with an indie OS. you people are late to the party and also a little weird frankly.

    source
    • kava@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      indie OS

      it’s the OS that virtually every server uses. even Microsoft servers slowly switched away from Windows roughly a decade ago. Today majority of their servers run Linux

      it’s not indie- it’s big and corporate. the difference is there’s a weird serendipitous intersection of OSS and corporate interest that has arisen in a way that allows regular joe schmoe to run software you can actually control. so that your computer actually belongs to you

      imagine with your car. would you be OK with ads in your rear view mirror? with your car constantly sending data about how you drive to some nameless corporation? your car randomly turning on and updating itself while you sleep? taking away features you may want or adding features you don’t?

      that’s the path we’re going down with cars right now. and it’s partly because people are content to sit on their laurels and cede all of their collective power to companies like Microsoft

    It’s contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It’s the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it’s a mild case. But there’s always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

    I don’t understand why anybody would complain about that. It’s like complaining that too many people wear jeans.

      Maybe because jeans wearers don’t spam up every thread about clothing with “JUST WEAR JEANS!”

        I’ve only been on lemmy for a short time but I haven’t seen any Linux users spamming any threads that way. This complaint is the first sign I’ve seen that anybody even has that idea. It reminds me of crusty old farts who see a gay character in a sitcom and say OMG it’s all about the gays now!!!
