I'm sorry to be the one who breaks this to you but linux is as binary as you can get. Ever wondered what 64 bit means? Bits are quite binary, that's kind of the definition

Afterwards you will be running a 63bit system. I challenge you to find the others.

With the introduction of the number 2, we goin' TRINARY!

Fun fact, the reason internet speeds are measure in Bits, not Bytes, is that 8 bits to a Byte is entirely arbitrary and could be changed if there was will to do so.

internet speeds are measured in bits so they can artificially inflate numbers.

cause selling 100mbit sounds a lot meatier than selling 12mbyte.

100 milibits lmao

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I mean, yeah. That too.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Not quite, network speeds have been measured in bps since the day the first packet got out of its egg.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

calling Kostman's?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Wait... I could have used arch btw without being trans???

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

No you have to use Manjaro, it's Arch for the rest of us

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

still waiting for my trans arc. Haven't seen it coming yet...

Nah, we just prefer the one true Linux mascot.

im he/they and i dualboot so this checks out

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He/They and I also dual boot. But I have reproduced so I must have broken something. ~~Just like my Linux bootloader T~T~~

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I wonder what percent of Linux users dual boot. ~~I don't think I ever have~~ I'm just remembering getting a laptop from an employer and going through the effort of partitioning the disk drive down to a bare minimum for Windows and setting up dual boot - I don't remember actually booting into the Windows side more than a couple of times. This would have been over a decade ago. Either I've had a Windows-only machine supplied by my employer, which I wasn't allowed to mess with at that level; or I've had a Linux machine. Even the computers I've bought that came with Windows pre-installed, I haven't even booted into Windows before wiping the storage and installing Linux.

I'm not some sort of purist; Windows just makes me angry when I use it - I've just always found it a frustrating experience, so I've never bothered with dual booting.

It makes me wonder what the distribution is. Are the majority of Linux users dual-booters?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I used to dual boot for some games. Mainly VR stuff. But Windows is always a hassle and super slow.

I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven't used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Used to for one package - stupid tax filing software that won't run under Wine, likely because it's shitty garbage that was written in VB. The forms don't reflow properly.

I had enough of the two systems trying to clobber each other's bootloaders and this year am running Tiny10 in a VM instead. The forms STILL don't reflow properly in anything except for VMWare. Don't ask me why, it's financial software and it always comes out broken and is patched just in time to file before the deadline.

Steam's Proton and modern AMD drivers have been super effective in allowing me to do all my gaming on Linux now, and all my dev work always was. Don't see much reason for Windows these days.

What the..?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

BTW, TIL learned more pronouns.

Some people give options when sharing their pronouns. For example a non-binary person could use both “he/him/his” and “they/them/theirs” pronouns. - https://www.diversitycenterneo.org/about-us/pronouns/
