Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

Then next paragraph…

I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …

Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.

What do I use? Arch Linux.

BTW

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Its a blog

muhyb,

You should lose that “l” young man, because that’s what it is.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

“young man” rofl

failed at reading comprehension? check

muhyb,

“rofl” as you want. We know your mental age and how broken your toilet mind is. You probably get some professional help to fix that. Just don’t laugh at that. It’s no joke.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Thank you =)

muhyb,

I guess I should’ve used lass. Anyway.

“I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words”

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Let me guess… you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?

vzq,

This is the contempt I’m talking about.

The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Nah, I just treat them like equals :)

rottingleaf,

Which is the same as “despise”

MrBubbles96, (edited )

So basically, “they’re trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I’m gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn’t the latest bleeding edge stuff?”

Cuz that’s what i get outta that whole, article…that and that you really, really like to swear.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It’s the boomers who get triggered.

Naughties…

conciselyverbose,

By far the most offensive part of this complete and utter shit post.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Yeah, that’s what 00-09 is called

I don’t know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.

Oh content from this blog has been popping up in random places. Methinks it's le epic trole.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

I just want to post my epic opinions in places where they matter.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Lemmy.world deleted it on their Linux group because they’re idiots.

wim, in Linux Boomers

To quote the author himself:

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn’t use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Another fool who thinks I’m a guy

    I wouldn’t call mint old. It has

    • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
    • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don’t like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
    • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I’m sure they don’t want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
    • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it’s a thinkpad)

    So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you’re a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

    vzq,

    So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS

    It’s what I put on my dad’s laptop, so in his case it’s literally BoomerOS.

    WalrusByte, in Is anyone using awk?
    @WalrusByte@lemmy.world avatar

    Sometimes I copy and paste an awk command from online, but I can never remember how to write it myself

    cybersandwich,

    I’m convinced no one actually knows how to write awk. It’s all copy and pasted from the web.

    caseyweederman,

    I am very, very slowly chiseling it into my long-term memory. I feel like Rincwind.

    rynzcycle, in Linux Boomers

    I'd argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don't have enough money and joking about how you're spending your kid's inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

    user224,
    @user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I am still sad my laptop from 2007 (Compal FL90) died earlier this year. It was still pretty powerful, and really full of ports. I could even add USB3 ports with express card if I wanted to. And unlike with modern laptops, the keyboard had some travel.

    Currently I use HP 255 G7. I wasn’t using it because that old laptop simply suited me better. It’s fine, but… I am still looking for a cheap used ThinkPad. But it does have a DVD drive, so that’s nice (yes, I do use that).

    Enoril, in Linux Boomers

    Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.

    tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…

    @r00ty@kbin.life avatar

    When I reached the essentially "I use arch btw" I assumed it was just badly written satire.

    MrBubbles96,

    Took ya that long? As soon as they went “That’s right fuckface.”, it was over lol. I knew whatever was gonna follow would be some unhinged shit…and it was, save for that one nugget of wisdom that was thrown in there about shutting up and using what you wanted (that of course, they wouldn’t follow. If they did this wouldn’t exist in the first place)

    That made me laugh so hard. Are there really no clients for linux mobiles?

    Secret300,

    There wasn’t a few months back when I checked

    wiki_me, in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy

    Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.

    Do you have a github or codeberg link?

    Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

    Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.

    It seems to be working for me.

    Do you have a github or codeberg link?

    I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.

    Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

    I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.

    lvl, in need help fixing a hardware problem using linux

    I have had an identical problem a few years back, with a Samsung 2 in 1 that worked perfectly on AC, but had exact issues on battery.

    It was the “power saving” capability of the GPU that triggered it on battery. So simply disabling this is the integrated Intel GPU control panel (in Windows) fixed the problem. Laptop is still running now and works with my sister in law.

    dingdongitsabear,

    thanks for chiming in. yeah, some surface models are prone to have these issues as well, I remember trying that in windows but with no results. in linux, the i915 driver doesn’t have that option any more, or I suck at reading comprehension… anyhow, not sure that’s the same issue, as my device has these spells also when on AC power but with battery installed. the only times it’s functioning properly is when it’s on AC and with battery removed. but this looks like a promising lead to research further.

    heartsofwar, (edited ) in Xclip is not talking to the system clipboard (Klipper)

    KDE plasma runs Wayland; therefore, you need wl-clipboard (wl-copy) not xclip which is for X11

    Hammerheart,

    Thankyou!

    Cysioland,
    @Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    Oddly enough, on Wayland GNOME I can use xclip just fine

    drwankingstein, in Does Wayland really break everything? (Nate Graham's OG post ref'd in the Phoronix article)

    I really don’t like nate’s take here. IMO it’s really not that good, Wayland is still outright lacking features, even when using the craptastic xdg portals junk

    Auzy, (edited )

    X11 has it’s own issues (and there are a lot of them, including security)

    What features exactly?

    drwankingstein, (edited )

    I didnt even remotely imply that x11 doesn’t have issues, so im not sure why that was brought up. The goal is to make wayland an acceptable and universal replacement, Everyone knows x11 is dying but wayland isnt ready to replace it yet

    Things like window embedding, the wayland way is for each app to have it’s own embedded compositor. Wayland has no support for things like overlays/always on top (Useful for OSKs PR has been made but like all wayland things, we might not get it for another couple years, or perhaps never), currently missing support for reading other window states (PR made for this as well, but again, who knows how long it will take), Still no support for window positioning (again PR made), Emulated input events (libei is not universally supported) And these are just the ones off the top of my head, There were others but I cant think of them ATM

    gnumdk,
    @gnumdk@lemmy.ml avatar

    On the other hand X11 is missing an important feature: security

    WarmApplePieShrek, (edited )

    Security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security. X11 doesn’t have security. Wayland doesn’t have usability or security. Security is about putting walls in front of the bad guys while letting the good guys go through. Wayland just puts walls around everyone.

    drwankingstein,

    while I do agree that x11 could be better in that regard, having the baseline critical features met matter a lot more then security for me.

    I personally really like wayland, I just wish it actually was properly usable in all my use cases

    WarmApplePieShrek,

    Xorg is the organization behind Wayland, and the Xorg X11 server is also the best Wayland compositor.

    corsicanguppy, in What is the point of dbus?

    Lennart said so.

    No. DBUS has its roots in freedesktop.org and the KDE+Gnome projects. It’s basically a desktop agnostic reimplemented of KDE’s DCOP, which was itself a simplified CORBA (gnome was using ORBit at the time, if I recall correctly). DBUS was so useful that the domain spaces its been applied to soon rapidly outgrew the desktop space, and this is why it’s usually started earlier these days.

    It also works on Windows.

    AProfessional,

    DBus works very poorly on Windows unfortunately.

    WarmApplePieShrek,

    GNOME also works because Lennart said so.

    But I think DBUS was a simpler KDE reimplementatioon of something GNOME did.
