MotoAsh, in Look at that fragmentation!

MS so jealous that their biggest innovation in the last decade was … to put Linux in Windows.

That and ads in the start menu.

They’re talking about Windows Subsystem for Linux. Basically reverse WINE.

infeeeee,

That was WSL1. WSL2 is just a vm: devtopics.com/wsl1-vs-wsl2-a-comparison-and-guide…

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) which lets you basically run linux kernel along side the windows kernel which lets you do a lot of cool stuff like containers, linux apps, whole DEs, etc.

It was pretty cool for like 5 minutes until people realized that keeping windows around was kind of pointless and we should just be running pure linux lol.

It’s still a good feature, but it just gives you a direct comparison of linux vs windows which tends to outshine windows.

Honytawk,

Why would it be pointless to keep Windows when it is capable of running (al be it slowly) Linux software?

It is like saying Linux is pointless because of Wine.

mexicancartel,

It was pointless to keep windows at all. Pure linux is much cooler and running it inside windows was pointless. Unlike wine which runs windows programs inside linux which is big deal

ryannathans,

Plus it’s slow as shit typically

itsJoelle,

What was weird was one of my friends who is “baffled by my choice of Linux” let me know about this subsystem and said “hey, look! There’s no reason to use Linux again!”

merthyr1831,

it’s one of those niche developer tools that ends up highlighting how fucking appalling windows is for developers .

What kernel parameters should I use?

0x4E4F,

The parameters that suite your needs.

laurelraven,

All of them, just to be sure

Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we’re referring to the whole OS ?

cyanarchy,

LiGNUx is a hill I’m entrenched and ready to die on.

0x4E4F, (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.

loaExMachina,

The mask has fallen.

thecrotch,

Is GNU really just unix in disguise?

laurelraven,

Well, it stands for GNU’s Nearly UNIX, so probably

victorz,

No. Otherwise where’s the limit? GNU/Linux/systemd/Xorg/i3/Firefox/kakoune?

mexicancartel,

What if i call it GNU and put the limit there

victorz,

What if I call it your mom

(jk I luv u)

stoicmaverick,

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.

Last time I installed Kubuntu I was stopped by an seemingly undealable-with overscan issue, like 20% of the view was outside the screen and NVIDIA control panel sucked. So I had to go back to Windows after like half a week of googling and no dice, it was unacceptable. Thoughts?

You should try ball busting

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You need to set the image in the monitor to the left or right (depending which side was being cut off).

BustinJiber, (edited )

Not an option with this TV. And it was all sides. It was easily fixable on Windows, I somehow figured it out on Raspberry PI OS and Kodi. But the Linux NVIDIA configuration had like one slider and I have no idea what is that even suppose to do. Shows how much they care.

0x4E4F, (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Please refer to the answer of the question “Why do Linux users hate Nvidia”.

BustinJiber,

I’m not even Linux user and can join that crowd.

I’d like you to guess which one of these is fake:

  1. How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?
  2. How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?

Edit:

OP has answered, the answer isthat the second one is fake, the first one is real.

ook_the_librarian,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

Whichever one is fake could be real tomorrow.

makunamatata,

There is always an alternate reality

AVincentInSpace,

do you have any idea the shitstorm that would go down in the Void Linux forums

thecrotch,

Is it anything like the daily shit storm in every Linux community?

renzev,

Not OP but I know which one is fake because I remember actually doing the other one haha

cyanarchy,

If you didn’t tell me one of these were fake I would never have questioned it.

ook_the_librarian,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, just because one is nonsense, it wouldn’t mean it’s fake. I’ve read help forums.

PoolloverNathan,

…Neither?

unlawfulbooger,

You’re good. I know one of these is definitely real, but the other one is plausible enough to make me think both are real

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

They are both fake. Neither of them show up any results on google searches.

What are programmer socks?

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

They’re socks that programmers usually wear when they’re out, not programming, because everyone needs socks when they go out. But, programmers felt underappreciated if their socks are called just like everyone elses socks, so they changed their name by adding programmer in front.

uis,

makunamatata,

They are soft material artifacts that protect and warm up the programmer’s feet.

How do you reverse the bit-stream scalar using the systemd fractional scaling initializer?

stoicmaverick,

There’s an EMACS plugin to do it.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You remove the scalar with pliers, then do some welding work on the initilalizer to get it to the proper shape (systemd is known to have unstandard sizes of shape and size plugs). Then, you chop the bit-stream into single bits and insert them one by one into the initializer, hold them there, then plug the initializer in systemd and let the bits fall in it. EZ

How do I change the language to EN-US on redstar os?

ccdfa,

Follow up: how to change to french on templeOS?

0x4E4F,

You have to recode the kernel in french.

0x4E4F,

Oui.

spookedbyroaches,

In the locale picker it’s called YEE-HAW not EN-US 👍

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You don’t. It’s designed to be unchagable. Only the supreme leader can change that.
