For what it’s worth, I switched 2 years ago and have yet to run into a game I wanted to play and couldn’t. There are some glaring holes, mostly around “serious e-sports” games that have overly invasive anti-cheat (or devs that specifically choose to block linux) that won’t work. Riot and Epic both seem to have a hard on for blocking linux users, as an example.

But here’s the neat part. You can make the switch and see, and it costs you nothing. If you are in the minority that it just won’t work for and have to switch back to windows, you are in the exact same spot you are in now, with nothing lost but a bit of time.

I get what they are trying to say, but I definitely don’t want my browser to just facilitate me raw-dogging the internet. I had to use someone else’s computer at work the other day, and they don’t have any ad block and have apparently clicked “yes” to every dialog box for years. It was a fucking nightmare. Every web page was so full of ads, pop-ups, notifications, banners, auto-playing videos, etc. Jesus christ, I just needed to check the weather on a local news website and the internet skull-fucked me until I had ocular hepatitis. Decided the safest course of action was to just stand outside and look for tornadoes myself.

I think you’ll be waiting forever for that one. Not even sure why you would want that; I seriously doubt it would even work as a shortcut to reactos becoming a viable and mature OS.

I made the leap 2 years ago on both my gaming desktop and laptop. Running Garuda Linux and have loved it. The only ‘hole’ I’ve run into is fusion360 - i just can’t figure out freecad and autodesk really don’t seem to want their software running under wine…

They didn’t say Ireland wasn’t an island because of it… But, for the record, Canada isn’t an island anyway so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And the large hadron collider, which was first turned on in 2012, ending existence immediately - as predicted by the Mayans.

The fact you called it DOS feels like you are just rage-bait trolling… lol

Oh I’m opposite. Edges are for face/head exclusively and I use the middle of the towel for the rest of the body.

These aren’t “tech related” problems, they are “windows is shit and abusive to the user” problems.

I personally love Alexandrite.app as a UX. I’m so used to it that I get confused when I follow a link and see a default Lemmy instance, lol.

Unless you are specifying a custom filepath for each file, in which case, carry on.

This one is correct. I always setup my browser to ask where to put each download, and then send it to the file it needs to live in. Usually have the “default” be the home folder so I can easily browse to the subsequent folder quickly. The browser doesn’t just get to decide where to put stuff or it would all be a mess eventually anyway.

I definitely would go ahead and put the printed document directly into a hanging file in my desk drawer if I could read/use the document without ever moving it like I can on a computer…

You just made it more appetizing to me by comparing them to popplers. Every time I watch that episode I wish I could enjoy a poppler at fishy joes… They make it look so good.

Call the Trumpulance?

Are you saying my dick is broken and not the brothel? Ruh Roh.

Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.

I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.

Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.

This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.

even though you’re not there for service

I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?

One 3-headed hound of the abyss.

I don’t think that’s a universally recognized distinction, but the more you use it that way and spread it around it could be one day soon.

Language is weird.
