Linux Mint. Cinnamon. With a Windows Vista theme. It confuses and/or irritates everyone who sees it.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 weeks ago

I was going to go Mint/Cinnamon, but now I'm going to more.

I'm using the Windows XP Bliss wallpaper on my Fedora PC at work. I've had a few people ask about it haha. Most of the company uses Macs.

So going off the chalice in the movie, the distro that will save you from judgment is the plainest one – the one with the least bloat? That tracks.

For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I'd still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 28 points 4 weeks ago

Mac OSX isn't bad... so long as you sell it your soul, and don't want freedom in return, it's great 👍.

I kid... mostly - it's iOS that is horrifying, but Mac OSX is still Unix (tho not GNU), so not anywhere within leagues of Microdick.

And - possibly dumb question - couldn't you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 32 points 4 weeks ago

MacOSX is great, other than the fact that it only runs on insanely overpriced, un-upgradeable and irreparable hardware. And that you have what I would consider limited control over it.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 16 points 4 weeks ago

Other than all that, yeah:-)

Still not comparable to Windows though, imho.

Its sins are just of a different sort - e.g. you don't need to repair or upgrade those machines so often, bc they work so well for so long as it is, plus other than for gaming, who even upgrades machines these days to begin with?

For non-gaming, Macs are great machines. So too are Linux. While Windows sux ass no matter what. Thus that's the dividing line, imho.

That's all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?

[-] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 weeks ago

Eh it works just fine 🤷‍♂️

Just setup Mint last night and have been troubleshooting how to get everything to work. So far I'm liking it. Last thing I setup was Lutris for gaming so that's nice.

PS anyone have any favorite resources for absolute tech illiterate noobs? I'm trying, but without a baseline understanding of the subject, it's hard to find the right guides

Just a humble Arch Linux user here

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

It's wonderful how the expression "humble Arch Linux user" manages to pack a contradiction in a mere 4 words.

Fedora Workstation 40.

On windows until last year, after trying 11 on my T440s which made it unbearably slow so had to start over but instead of going back to 10 tried a bunch of distros.

Fedora stuck, mainly because of gnome vanilla (I really like the paradigm, don't care about deep personalisation) and how everything just worked great.

Fight me?

Reactions:

Ubuntu: 😮why?

Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

Mint: ex windows guy?

Debian: 😃nice, how did you got to that decision?

Endeavour: 😃nice, how did you got to that decision?

Arch: 😃nice, how did you got to that decision?

Nix: 😃nice, how did you got to that decision?

OpenSUSE: 😃nice, how did you got to that decision?

Ubuntu: 😮why?

For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who's not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

I've been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

Mint: ex windows guy?

Aren't we all?

I've been on mint for a while. Here's a tip for anyone who needs some windows apps that won't work in Linux.

VM workstation 17 is free and is fast as balls. With plug and play pass through too.

So true. But this is (usually) more like sibling rivalry instead of actual disrespect. It is kinda fun if you're in the mood to poke at your peers.
