What's wrong with his head? It looks so uncanny

[–] [email protected] 70 points 7 months ago (1 children)

His head is overinflated with the self-indulgent smugness that comes from downloading Linux several times daily.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that about me...

Well, I would have ten cents. But you have to admit it's weird that it happened twice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I was looking confused at that for a while, thinking "Isn't a nickel 10 cents?" Then I realised that was a dime.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Maybe it's the perspective, but it looks like an adult man's head on a kid's body.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The head is perfectly cromulent.

Using Linux embiggens the smallest head

Man, even in the source video he looks like a kid with a man's head. Creepy.

righto, no cans

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Unironically yes. Switching to Linux gave so much peace of mind through this wave of enshittification. I know my system will remain user-centric for eternity to come, and will work in my interests.

I had to use a Windows 11 computer a couple of days ago. I can identify with this meme.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I love watching other peoppe suffer

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yep, I'm so happy when I hear how shitty Win 11 is. Enjoy your ads, currency exchange rates that for some reason cycle on the taskbar, traffic information, and what not.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget inflated hardware requirements and links to Copilot shoved into every possible place!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Oh yes, the "AI", how could I forget. All aboard the hype train!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'd like to double this statement! Fuck W11!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

Yeah no, I don't care personally. However when I inevitably play tech support it sucks.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (2 children)

For people who apparently want to disconnect, they sure seem to obsess about it a lot.

It's like all the people from Team Fortress communities that constantly talk about Overwatch, while the Overwatch communities just kind of... exist.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

Considering how pretty much all of the actual problems with Linux are due to the fact that many software and hardware vendors don't support it due to low market share, it makes sense that we'd be aware of what the OS with the vast majority of the market share is doing. I'd love to "disconnect" from Windows entirely and not care about it, similarly to how I couldn't tell you what version Mac OS is on right now, but we're not there yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I mean I want to disconnect from League of Legends, but now that I am slowly getting there it's kinda just funny how crappy the balancing is in places. Stuff that used to frustrate me to no end in the game, is now entertaining. Obviously cause it does not happen to me anymore. It's a mix of Schadenfreude and justification for me not playing the game anymore.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (4 children)

currently using Win10. i am not upgrading to 11.

once i figure out how to play games like fortnite and other anticheat games on linux, i'm honna switch over so hard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

2 years left still. Hopefully by that time Linux gains enough popularity that developers consider supporting it. At the very least Ubuntu.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Not all the anti cheat systems will work in Linux, some vendors will flat out ban you even when you can get the software working.

Anyways Fortnight works if you use the https://lutris.net/ system. Lutris is pretty cool, it's mostly just a frontend that does all the configuration for you. If you create an account, you can almost one click install most of your games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

this is wrong. Epic executives have an unressonable hate against linux, meaning they deny support for fortnite spesifically even rhpugh they can enable it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

no you didn't no fortnite won't work with lutris.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

i'll try that out. once i get my full list of games working, there's just my T300 to worry about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

this answer is copypasted from my original answer to the orher fella that gave you the advice: this is wrong. Epic executives have an unressonable hate against linux, meaning they deny support for fortnite spesifically even rhpugh they can enable it.

This happens with age. After multiple cycles of FOMO driven by the pushing of consumer demand you eventually realise it's all bullshit and attain a state of JOMO.

It's why people chasing the latest graphics card "ray tracing" bullshit seems so pointless.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was one of those who used to dream of real time ray tracing before it became a thing. And now that it's a thing, I feel uninterested by it (didn't event try to buy one of those GPUs. It's as if the dream was more fun to have than having it in reality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I can just emulate God of War on my Steam Deck and it looks amazing at 2x resolution. Much better than a fancy looking game that isn't fun. Looking at you Cyberpunk.

Windows users are missing out on nice Desktops like Gnome and KDE

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

How is WSL in 2024? Maybe they can finally install a good os inside their bad one.

Some of my best memories involve the sentence "Fuck it, I'll stay home".

Also, some of my worst memories involve the sentence "Fuck it, I'll stay home".

Chose your "I'll stay home" moments wisely.

Also, I have to use Win 11 atm and it will be part of my worst memories as soon as I can stop this.

Applies to Windows users, too, honestly.

I'm going to have to use JOMO more often.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Windows users cry because it happens every now and then, it's not a constant. :smug:

[–] MeDuViNoX 5 points 7 months ago

I'm a JOMOsexual.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (8 children)

I have a laptop that I run Windows 10 LTSC for the rare occasion I need Windows for something.
