mlg, 1 year ago to linux in Zorin OS 17 Has Arrived

mfw when entire distros are advertising UI features of gnome that came standard on every DE like 15+ years ago, including gnome.

Seriously, Compiz is from 2006.

mlg, 1 year ago to piracy in Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.

Not for every average Hollywood movie ever.

There’s so many acronyms for the source because of how many people independently rip, not even including cam rips.

Now if it’s some big gun software like cobalt strike, then sure yeah people definitely charge.

But Movie and TV pirating is so easy, people regularly make their own rips and torrents.

Stupid owl never answered the question smh my face

mlg, 1 year ago to linux in Thinking about making the big switch – recommend me a distro!

Anything except Ubuntu and it’s direct downstreams

Fedora for my pick.

mlg, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Look at that fragmentation!

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.

mlg, 1 year ago to linux in What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

fstab bind mount for /home that I misspelled, so I couldn’t login as myself.

fstab external hdd mount that didn’t have ignore flag so PC would pop if I booted while unplugged

Accidentally booting windows after a year and it overwrite my EFI boot entry.

The best I’ve see however was an acquaintance who accidentally set perms to own user on /usr/bin

So everything went from root:root to user:user which removed all the SUID/SGID bits as well so a bunch of bins broke lol.

Believe it or not, it was actually fairly easy to fix with chmod and chown

mlg, 1 year ago to memes in But hey, at least everyone supports webp now.

Animated PNG actually does exist but it has poor support coverage.

I remember using it to make whatsapp animated stickers

mlg, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Hot take

I have an unholy combination of XFCE and Compiz lol.

mlg, 1 year ago to linux in "Must Try" distros and DEs?

Yeah I’m surprised it doesn’t show up as much anymore despite being both a performant and highly customizable platform.

Lots of the effects aren’t available on other DEs, and the team behind has so far actually maintained all the plugins.

Yo dawg I heard you like showers…

mlg, 1 year ago to memes in You do know you can just click the "reject all" button, right?

This reminds me of how when reddit closed their API, a select few just went to web scraping it instead lol.

mlg, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Two moods

RHEL it is

mlg, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

I feel like people are overlooking the fact that this is typical early internet behavior lol.

I get that its the linux kernel mailing list, but I’m pretty sure Linus was way more wild online than in person because that’s how public internet forums and IRC used to be like.

Stallman has also said some equally braindead stuff lol.
