Installs mint. Connects to wifi at work. Prompted with a window that wants me to specify certificate versions or whatever. No clue about what any of it means and never get to connect. Uninstalled and back to Windows. Mint so easy to use /s 👍

mercury,

Mints wifi was a pain in the ass first time I used it, try some distro with kde as stock, or install it yourself. Might be more usable

Yeh and apparently Lemmy folks down votes legit bad experiences with gnu/Linux. If you think the user is the problem here, this community seriously have a problem if thet want gnu/Linux to be mainstream.

mercury,

People here really do need to realize how little the average user is willing to tinker and troubleshoot. Not to mention the software availability. Saying “it’s soooo easy to switch over” is just blatantly false, even now. The vast, vast majority of gamers play games with incompatible anti-cheat. Those people will likely not stop playing the games they want to because of moral values or Foss whatever’s. Same with software. Sure, krita or gimp are easy as hell to pick up, but if you’ve lived your whole life with Photoshop, and have no problem other than the usual adobe bullshit, you’re not gonna switch to an is with zero possibility of supporting that app any time soon.

I can’t offer a solution to fix linux’s issues, but there needs to be a community willing to answer the most basic questions honestly.

I love Climate Town, but have such a hard time consuming long-form YouTube like that.

anothercatgirl,

it’s under an hour long so I can watch more than one like this during my lunch break. It’s the long form content over an hour long that I have to avoid because it’s usually just vods which severely bore me.

For a home user with recent hardware in my opinion the system to beat is openSUSE Tumbleweed. It is a stable and rolling distribution, that is, it has the best of both worlds.

I have used some distros by now and I do love mint. But a few years back every major upgrade of mint lead to bugs and me reinstalling my system. So far the only Distro i tried that just keeps working is MX Linux on my old laptop.

Because I want to get rid of windows I installed Nobara. I love to play games. I works pretty good, but since only one guy ist maintaining it, it should be not considered a daily driver.

I am still not happy because it dont want to switch between distros for gaming and working.

Nobara is just a Fedora remix. I’ve used another remix a bunch of years ago and converting that to a regular Fedora installation after its maintainer left was just removing that addon repo and letting dnf handle the rest. I think I only needed to switch to Fedora’s branding packages.

mindbleach, to privacy in AI Generated CSAM Is Out of Control

There is no such thing.

God dammit, the entire point of calling it CSAM is to distinguish photographic evidence of child rape from made-up images that make people feel icky.

If you want them treated the same, legally - go nuts. Have that argument. But stop treating the two as the same thing, and fucking up clear discussion of the worst thing on the internet.

You can’t generate assault. It is impossible to abuse children who do not exist.

m0darn,

Did nobody in this comment section read the video at all?

The only case mentioned by this video is a case where highschool students distributed (counterfeit) sexually explicit images of their classmates which had been generated by an AI model.

I don’t know if it meets the definition of CSAM because the events depicted in the images are fictional, but the subjects are real.

These children do exist, some have doubtlessly been traumatized by this. This crime has victims.

kelvie, to linux in 10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

I’ve used Linux for over two decades (red hat to Gentoo to Ubuntu to arch) and I must say it’ll be a tough sell to get me back to an RPM or a debian based distro solely due to how god awfully slow the package managers (dpkg and rpm) are.

Since Docker came along and brought with it the ride of Alpine and APK, it made me realize that system upgrades on a modern processor, fast internet, and an SSD should take seconds, not minutes.

Yes. Good ones.

Break contract. Fuck ‘em

brezelradar,

Better yet: Fuck’em without breaking the contract.

paris,

And then go to court against Morgan Stanley


I believe they’ve been trying to get out of the contract though which is good, but it’s still easier said than done.

PowerCrazy,

Just claim sovereign immunity, bing boom, so simple. (I have no idea what the consequences of that owuld be, or what the legal outcome would look like.)

    Corruption is to make sure nobody in the government does the reasonable thing.

    People believe the system is a lot less corrupt than it really is. Propaganda good

    It was my first distro I liked it at the time, but after they killed of the KDE Edition I tried out Manjaro and the rolling release with up to date software just fits my use case much better.

    lordgoose, to linux in 10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

    I’ve been using Mint for a few months now after initially trying Fedora and Kubuntu. Mint has been by far my favorite experience and I’ve even gotten a few people converted to Linux via Mint. Definitely my recommendation for any Linux newbies.

    Linux mint at least in my experience seems to be one of those shit just works distros

    A lot of distros work really well on my laptop, but Mint has always been the only one that works perfectly

    CalicoJack,

    I don’t use it myself, but it’s been my main recommendation for newbies for years for that reason. No complaints yet, even from the less tech-literate.

    I sure wish I could get off Windows and onto Linux, but as a VR developer, it really is not feasible. Sucks

    Molten_Moron,

    At least you get Windows and not the abomination that is MacOS.

    dino,

    I’d rather use macOS than windows anyday.

    Subverb,

    I run a small business, but I’m also I’m an embedded systems developer on ARM processors for my products. Our toolchain is Windows-specific. That and the Adobe suite which I also need for my business keep my primary work machine Windows.

    My laptop is Linux but even that creates occasional hassles with my work flow and presentations.

    Immersive_Matthew,

    My VR runs fine on Linux, just I cannot develop it on Linux as the tools are simply not available.
