Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Arch Linux? I got a pamphlet and reading material for you.

It's ironic because you are actually more original/funny than that guy. All he does is complain about Windows

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Did you know that using Windows makes your balls shrink?

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No no, all you'd ever get from an Arch user is single postit that says "got a question? RTFM!"

Source: I use Arch btw

[–] theFibonacciEffect@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

It's all in the Wiki

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep. It's me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, GNU/Linux?

[–] MaliciousKebab@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or as I like to call it GNU+Linux.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

No I'm pretty sure it's GNU divided by Linux

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Those bricks are laid incredibly poorly, look at all those gaps

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Typical Windows app 🧌

[–] TacoNissan@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

AND at least 2 of them are already cracked!

In german we don't say shitty brick wall, we say 'Landhauscharme' and I think it's beautiful.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Ich hab das jetzt als Land Hausch Arme gelesen und war verwirrt

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Edge only exists to download Firefox.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Windows bad, give Internet points!

[–] sircalico@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's Chrome, but Microsoft. So no it's not good but not because of speed or technical quality.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Okay, but windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.

I don’t hate windows as much as I hate Microsoft.

ReactOS is a cool project and I hope it goes somewhere.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, Windows has become alarmingly invasive and dumbed down.

But how difficult is it to use actual arguments to prove they did instead of pulling completely false ones out of your ass?

I make fun of Windows search all the time because it deserves it.

But I'm not going to make fun of Windows update because it doesn't directly tell you what they changed. Since a single google search can give you the answer.

Anyway, Linux memes should be about Linux, not Windows. It is almost like those Linuxians are jealous Windows has a ginormous market share while their respective distro does not.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What market share are you talking about?

Overall Linux runs the world. So I am generally confused.

Then go and use any of the things you are using without linux.

Lemmy? Hosted on a Linux server

Almost any major website? Linux server

Any other web service? Linux Server

The Server infrastructure that surrounds your favourite Operating System? Guess what, Linux server

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did I stutter?

Without Linux the whole world would litetally not run. I don't fucking care what some consumers jack of on which OS. I care what runs literally our complete infrastructure.

Which car does use Windows or Mac? Which super Computer does that? Which Important Server does that? None, literally.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mentioning Windows' market share really hit a nerve with you, didn't it?

I use Linux without worrying about whatever market shares anyone has, and I feel much happier that way.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I wanted to go against his "we as Linux users are jealous about Windows because of marketshare" which I tried to defeat because I literally am not jealous for given reasons.

[–] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

I mean I know people who are still trying to find bypasses to get around Microsoft and their online only strategy.

If you're still doing this, you.need to try Linux.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My linux config does give me a boner tho

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Don't fuck the toaster

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Try to understand, not everyone likes windows. They require quite a bit of maintenance, are usually insecure and speaking personally, some setups just don't look good. It's why some people opt for skylights instead.

Ok, boomer.

[–] CreateProblems@corndog.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 years ago

I enjoy Linux memes.

But not when the only joke they can muster being "Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]"

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea I do get a little tired of all the Windows-hate haha

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah these ads that they shoved in my start menu and lockscreen are totally legit! I can't wait to consoom!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's so goddamn annoying because I can block it on my personal computer but then they get me at work.

I was pretty ambivalent on Linux until then, but between that and the growing support for Linux gaming I'm going to have to make the plunge.

Don’t hurt Microsoft’s fee-fees.

[–] regbin_@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Edge isn't a bad browser. However it's based on Chromium so using it just feeds into the Chromium monopoly.

Firefox or Safari is the only way.

[–] SickPanda@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

I tried switching to Firefox some weeks ago but deinstalled it immediately after realising that it's DNS doesn't work. My ISP is censoring some 🏴‍☠️ websites and I can only visit them by not using my ISP's dns service.

No matter which DNS i selected in the browser settings I always got an error saying that Firefox couldn't reach the DNS. I will stick to Opera GX now 🤷‍♂️

Edit: it's funny how the butthurt Firefox users downvote me for just talking about my experience with the browser.

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

it's funny how the butthurt Firefox users downvote me for just talking about my experience with the browser.

Nobody is downvoting you for just talking. They're downvoting you because you very clearly lack knowledge in what you're doing but are blaming it on the browser.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

firefox uses doh, not regular dns

[–] dRLY@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It might be a good idea to get a good VPN for any of those sites (even the streaming ones). No hate if you ran into an issue with FF. Every now and then I do see some PCs act weird with FF DNS options. Never able to figure out what causes them to not work correctly while most other PCs are working fine on the same local network. Opera and Opera GX "feel" too "busy" for me personally with just all the random things on the UI and features. I support people using anything that isn't official Chrome at this point.

If you don't already have a VPN, here is a list article with more than a few options and give some basic info on stuff like if they keep logs of IPs and for how long. Some of them also have additional DNS options for removing ads. https://torrentfreak.com/best-vpn-anonymous-no-logging/

Sounds like a typical layer 8 issue to me 🤔

[–] SickPanda@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The same DNS settings work in Opera GX, which means the problem is made by Mozilla

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Okay listen... i fully support you in your choice to use the browser that works for you without spending time troubleshooting. But why Opera GX?
