I had an NVIDIA card when I switched to Linux about two and a half years ago and I’ve never had an issue AFAIK.

I thought this was pretty normal for Linux nerds. I’ve tried loads but I keep coming back to openSUSE.

I’m the same. I like the workflow of Plasma, I just find it more practical, but Gnome actually feels like an OS made this century. All the KDE software just feels like it was made in the early 00s and since then it’s just been getting hotfixes to keep it going. I wish they’d just abandon a bunch of their projects and stop spreading themselves so thin.

That food looks gash.

I don’t think the person who turned him in will still work there, assuming they got the reward.

In the UK women can be called birds but it’s considered a bit tasteless nowadays.

Over the past year I’ve gradually switched from Gnome to Plasma but it’s so fucking clunky I do miss Gnome. I feel like it’s in the right place but it just needs rebuilding from the ground up in the modern world.

The original reasoning for having all those directories was because some nerds in a university/lab kept running out of HD space and had to keep changing the filing system to spread everything out between an increasing number of drives.

My sister-in-law let her 10 year old daughter play it with zero supervision. When we found out we told her she should be watching what her daughter’s doing so she went in to check and found the kid talking to some grown man from Azerbaijan.

This whole thing seems inaccurate. I literally never get even remotely excited about a Linux update, it’s always boring stuff that means nothing to me. I don’t Windows updates because I feel like it delivers them in a big lump and lets me install as I shutdown, which is easy. Apple hasn’t charged for updates in well over a decade.

Aside from install and the first welcome screen I don’t recall seeing anything.

I use Fedora and openSUSE but I’m not sure if this graph is taking the piss.

Honestly, who has the time? I could read the manual or I could enjoy my life instead.

I honestly don’t know why you guys love shitting on AI so much. I flew into Munich, where I’d never been before, and had to hurry to a pub in the middle of town. ChatGPT managed to tell me exactly what train to go for, how to get to the platform in the airport, and even what the signs that I should be following looked like. It was literally like having local knowledge.

I assumed this was bullshit but she actually said it. Her account’s been suspended.

Honestly, most people keep a Windows partition anyway. I have one for Fusion 360 which intermittently stops working in Bottles.

Didn’t this turn out to be fake?

I honestly don’t care. There’s like five companies running the whole internet now and they’re all shit. Burn it down.

I think if you wiped everyone’s prior experience and knowledge and all that stuff, like just wiped the slate clean and presented all the OSes for what they are and let everyone choose which on they got to use, things would land pretty much where they are right now. Linux is generally way easier than it was 10 years ago but it’s still far too tricky for most normal users. If it’s too difficult for them to use then they effectively don’t have a computer and it’s useless to them. Linux may be free but after dropping £1000+ on a laptop people don’t mind so much paying an extra £70 for the software.

The two most important things to normal people are good looks and ease of use and Linux comes in last in both of those races.

Linux isn’t for normal people, it’s made by nerds for nerds.
