Damn, that’s a lot of luck.

Interesting given that he is actually preparing for an apocalypse scenario where he hides out in a bunker only to emerge a leader of men.

Yes, but the masterminds behind levelling Gaza are still at large.

It’s called a community. If Reddit doesn’t seem like this anymore, it’s because half those people are actually AI.

You’d think it would be a blow to Bethesda that their sole programmer quit, but fortunately the creation engine is so cutting edge that I’m sure they’ll lean on it just as it is for years to come.

That’s true but as long as his political opponent has a more supportive stance on Israel, the Democratic Party knows that there’s a lot more room to support Israel without haemorrhaging too many voters who don’t align with that value.

You’re talking as if political donors and lobbies don’t exist.

Pretty much just that Arch Linux will be more secure, stable and reliable.

Yeah so what’s your problem with what he said then?

He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.

That’s a number you just made up.

Either way, use a blacklist then. If you really care about what sites they access, use a whitelist.

Exactly. It’s like a tacit admission that the only reason to have this stuff is for people like Joe.

This is what I did. If you generally know what you’re doing around computers it just requires patience and a willingness to “Read the (Friendly) Manual.”

If you’re running intel, nVidia, dual GPU setup, and some other things, your installation will be more involved.

But the great part is that once you’ve set all that up, things just generally work and the Arch wiki is an amazing resource.

They don’t need to know what a distro is, the same way they don’t know the difference between Windows Enterprise, Professional, LTSC, etc.

If it’s not OEM, people like us are going to be the ones installing it for them anyway.

I don’t think Linux will displace Windows meaningfully any time soon, but I do think people underestimate the fact that most people don’t install their own OSs. They get people like you to do it for them.

The reason for NATO’s involvement is quite irrelevant because they were still happy to step in and do the work. The fact is that it was ultimately NATO-led and their efforts did not lead to peace in the region.

To call NATO’s involvement in Libya ‘anti-war’ is sheer lunacy.

The invasion of Libya was a NATO-led effort.

Stop lying.

It’s easy to forget that Windows’ success doesn’t come from people seeking it out and installing it as an OS intentionally. They’re buying machines that come preloaded with it. Linux’s success, however big or small, lies in how its methods of distribution compare to Windows OEM dominance.

Let’s be real: when it comes to the actual installation of an OS, regular users ask people like us to do it for them. I don’t think Linux is going to outpace Windows anytime soon, but the last few times I’ve been asked for that kind of help, I’ve installed Linux for them, because it is absolutely ready to be used by regular people.

I fully believe PC gaming’s future is on Linux. Valve are pushing compatibility heavily enough to the point where Proton runs virtually all my games as smoothly as Windows would and as hard as it would have been to believe a few years ago, most my library has native support anyway. Combined with the fact that Linux has a smaller runtime overhead than Windows, most of my games run better.

Ease of use is the harder metric to gauge. Most people seem to forget that Windows isn’t built for ease of use; not like MacOS anyway. Things break on Windows all the time; most people are just more familiar with the common workarounds. Even installing things are easier (once the user learns the singular command they need to do this) and flatpak installations align more with how people are used to installing apps on their phones and tablets.

A “harmful ideology”? Is someone paying you to spout this propaganda?

I’m responding to the more general sentiment you and BearOfaTime expressed, which is that one is ‘always trying to solve strange problems on Linux.’ KDE is being offered as a solution in this instance, but it’s also just a default in its own right. Contrary to how you’re characterising it, it’s not a distro, it’s not difficult to install, and it absolutely is not obscure.
