Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

bdonvr,

That’s kinda the point

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

bdonvr,

Wine/Proton can run a huge amount of Windows programs.

Honestly though I’ve just been using Linux for 8 or so years now and just find some other solution. For general computing it really isn’t hard at all. Perhaps if you have some weird proprietary work software or absolutely need Adobe it could be an issue

bdonvr,

I think it would be pretty easy to qualitatively test this

bdonvr,

I appreciate that mental image but I must respectfully inform you that you need to wipe down the socket, not the ball.

Which is why us real trackball users get our tongues all up in there to clean it out.

bdonvr,

Just pop it out and wipe it off once in a while

bdonvr,

I bring my trackball to work everyday, seriously.

bdonvr,

I could leave it at work I just don’t want to buy another $100+ mouse, I use it at home

bdonvr,

Is it like that in Cuba?

bdonvr,

That was the meaning I was going for. It has happened.

bdonvr,

Alright coo- ah fuck they just updated it and now it has micro transactions.

bdonvr,

Unfortunately it’s not really a step by step guide

bdonvr,

November Christmas music does cause me physical pain thanks

bdonvr,

In informal text perhaps, but in publications and such it’s still used.

bdonvr,

True, though doing this makes it sound incredulous.

In Spanish it’s just how questions are.

bdonvr,

Or because one or both parties are very socially inept.

bdonvr,

Israel is just taking their land back

How on earth did you get to that conclusion

bdonvr, (edited )

I mean I know “ropes” could be used to mean that. But “blasting ropes” specifically isn’t really a thing.

In any case it’s very uncommon.

bdonvr, (edited )

It’s also definitely not something you’ll ever hear.

From a Google search I think this post made it up anyway. Most results are this post, Urban dictionary only added it in 2018.

bdonvr,

That would make it cooler

bdonvr,

Ubuntu font. Ubuntu font best font.

bdonvr,

Doge, it would make crytobros slightly less cringe (VERY slightly)

bdonvr,

Well BBSs, Usenet, etc were far more niche. Social media today is nearly ubiquitous.

bdonvr,

Language science/grammar/etc are all just observations of a natural phenomena, they are not laws to dictate.

bdonvr,

I am TERRIBLE at keeping in touch for sure.
