I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 56 points 1 month ago

Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 83 points 1 month ago

Hahaha Windows users having sense

have no idea how to install another OS

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

I'll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!

(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)

[-] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 13 points 1 month ago

I know how to quit smoking weed erry day, I simply choose not to.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Damn, just call me out dude

[-] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 15 points 1 month ago

It's all in good fun

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Well Ubuntu is shit XD

Try KDE.

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

KDE is available for Ubuntu. There's even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Yup and since like 2 weeks that version doesnt suck anymore.

Before that, it did.

And there are more issues with Ubuntu than just their atrociously themed GNOME. Bad updater, not shipping GNOME Software (ootb), no flatpak support (ootb), simply following outdated paradigms

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Don't forget snaps! Fuck snaps and snapd. Furthermore, fuck automatically installing the snap when I try to install software through apt.

I can, I just prefer windows

The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

Mac owners have money? more like had money

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

[-] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 30 points 1 month ago

In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

[-] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

[-] SkyeStarfall 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

[-] Katzastrophe@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

Shoutout to the 3DS custom theme shop for having a Tuxkart theme

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago
[-] fnrir@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Have ~~freedom~~ their code stolen by corps

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Free bsd users have driver support issues

[-] nothingcorporate@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago

from the linux sucks community?

[-] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago
[-] waz@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

[-] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on

[-] waz@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago

Windows users have regrets

Mac users have stockholm syndrome

Linux users have a computer

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

[-] toothbrush 9 points 1 month ago

Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Hehe. Some games we tried were too much so I guess something more simplistic gotta be nice.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.

TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I've used both of them, both professionally and personally, for some time.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 1 month ago

More like Windows user have games.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Linux

Have time to make everything work before doing anything

Also I live in a river in Egypt bitch, guess which one first one guess doesn't count and you can't repeat guesses and only possible answers allowed..

Also there's a camera recording everything I'm doing at all times that's somewhat accessible to hackers.

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 4 points 1 month ago

First guess is "the Nile" second guess is "denial" , third guess is Sinai. Also, what the hell is that, an AI catcher?
