Linux@programming.dev•Installing Linux on friend's new PC, which distro should he use?
2·1 month agoIf you don’t decide to even parse my answers, there is no good reason to argue further.
I have shown, that Ubuntu has done practices that go beyond subscriptions for extra Support, instead risking free users security. They have added Amazon ass once. They broke big parts of the os and made debugging harder by forcing a proprietary snap format, going against the decisions of users.

3·1 month agoUbuntu is a simple install
So is about every os by now. Ubuntu was special back in 2010 maybe. Now, no anaconda installer is the exception if you wannabe the arch btw guy, not the rule
What is the exception by now, is breaking your entire OS with a rust rewrite, forcing a propriatery package format even when the user requests the normal package from the package installer, hiding security updates behind a subscription (even if its just your email), and putting Amazon ads in the OS
When 90% of even niche Linux distros like Rhino, Vanilla or mint or Endeavour or Cachy or even fucking Artix have the same experience as Ubuntu, I’d rather recommend someone an Os that hasn’t shown it would go the Microsoft way if it had the opportunity to

So why Ubuntu then?
That looks more like the general „Lines instead of actual text” used by many artists
Not really an AI thing
On the right I mean. Specifically, an apt update neither upgrades the packages (only syncs the repo), nor should it magically change your shell to sh without giving you any output, except if you enabled the --silent option, which was not enabled in this case, and even then I’m pretty certain it would only cut out verbose output like the specific repos, but not the „synced repos. X packages can be upgraded” message.
If you don’t want a secure OS, you can at any time just install Linaege
Its obviously AI
Apart from my comment, here’s the tldr:
The outlines, the thought bubbles, the general senselessness of the meme and it not being tied to anything Linux users normally do, instead being based on stereotypical stuff regurgitated by most youtubers now
Also the Terminal on the left is just nonsense
Check out the daily slop of Eli the Computer guy, the thumbnails are all AI slop and generally you can really see the parallels once you look at those vs this image
The typical Font, the typical drawing style
It is generally
- not a known meme template
- not a „normal” font style like impact, used by most no effort memes
–> pretty big effort
- maybe artist?
–> no Mark, not known like xkcd, pizzacake, cyanide and happiness (which would have been most likely)
- pretty typical AI font style, weird curly but at the same time straight font
- also the outlines remind me really much of AI slop
- If anyone might have drawn it, the monitor and desk would have stayed the same. If they wanted to do it in a more obvious way that these are 2 different people, they would have added more of a color and/or person differentiation with clothing or other desks. Instead the image is copied and pasted 95%, except for small, usually not noticable changes like the corners of the image. This is generally how AI images look using the same input, only having the random parameters that are usually inserted into the image generator change.
Its literally the same line thickness
Also, random notes: Thought bubble looks really like AI, nonsense Terminal commands consisting of a mix of Ubuntu/Debian default bash and sh??? (sh usually only has a $)
The template „AI vs no need to update” generally has nothing to do with each other, and is generally just the stuff regurgitated by just about every YouTube channel by now; unlike most Linux users memes, which ranges generally in more niche topics
- Windows AI, Forced updates
- Linux no AI, Terminal, Debian commands
Also, as https://lemmy.world/comment/21278707 @AeonFelis has pointed out, the image is 5mb big.
Also, a resolution of 2816x1536 is not normal
Almost just like it is not normal for such an image not to be tagged by your Graphics Program that you used to make it
TL;DR: this is what happens if you ask grok to make a Meme about Linux and windows from the meaning depth to the weird art
Check out the other great dissection
https://lemmy.world/comment/21275322
And the fact you are even denying it, yet posting the most obvious slop, makes it even funnier
Might add to it later, but I think if you already read this, you might as well look at the PIC and my example and decide for yourself
The AI Generated anti AI Meme.
Also, the example has nothing to do with updating or not.
SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.
Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?

Linux@programming.dev•After 5 years, I’m finally leaving Ubuntu for this Linux distro
2·3 months agoI love Fedora atomic, really do, but it youre a power user and need docker regularly, you cant go around doing some Atomic bullshit, which in turn breaks stuff (for me it was sddm)
But for stuff like a media center, its godly

Linux@programming.dev•Repurposing Dodgy Android TV Boxes As Linux Boxes
21·3 months agoBut still, all of it implies you can get Linux on that thing in the first place, which is (especially with fake specs) very hard to guess
Sure, if someone puts in the time to sort those, great
But even at 5$ a piece, and if 1/5 work decently with Linux, you are looking at like 45$ / working piece, or even more if someone is refurbing it
For comparison: I can buy a lot of x64 (kinda nice, since arm is not as supported everywhere) thin client with way more ports, changeable memory and everything, for 30$

8·3 months agoTl:;Dr: sort of
The guy mentioned here got really lucky
the android TV had a standartised rockchip SoC which had a port for Debian, and booting externally was really easy
That’s the 1/100 chance. Even when, what are you going to do with 8 gig of rom and 1 gig ram?

Tech@programming.dev•Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"
4·4 months agoLast time I ever saw an RTFM was when someone has gone into something that’s way over their head to a point where it would have taken weeks to guide them to even get the relevant info to guide them what they need to do

5·4 months agoAlso, they have terrible update policy, with some packages still bring 3-4 GNOME versions older than the ones packaged with the running version
Also, they are advertising wine as a revolutionary thing to run any win app, just installing them via .exe as before
…If anyone reads this and still decides to ask me WhY lInUx iS nOt gEtTinG nEw uSeRs, I will literally pay you in monero so you can buy yourself a mouth gag.
you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines
Kinda the reverse for me
I need to fiddle with Massgrave and various debloat scripts to run win
Your applications/games only work well on native Windows
Windows for docker, winboat, etc
serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods
I would argue sudo and normal file permissions do the same
Makes helping Windows users harder
