Gimp = green is my pepper
How do I open an exe file in Mint ya smelly nerds??
Install Bottles.
You can't run an exe on Linux
Idiot /s
Add it to steam as a non-Steam game and turn on proton for it
Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.
Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead
"Linux will never supplant windows" naysayers in shambles.
Cringe.
I can assure you no one is such a dire need to come to u for help
Cringe
Calling this cringe is cringe
“…you have the audacity to come to me for help?
Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”
Word!
The Windows shit-train is not, in & of itself, gonna get a significant percentage of users migrating away from suckling corporate teat.
Marketing Foss solutions to problems is something I Revere about people in the communities. Just Wish we could be a little better at helping more people make the shift.
Heal the computing planet! Deprecate the Corporate OS blight!
Don't do this
Ehm... yes?
Excellent. It looks like you've already installed Audacity, so next let's copy over your songs.
After years of suffering under Microsoft's bugs, you're ready to have your own bugs no one can help you with.
Wow.
Peak "M'lady."
That’s the joke.
Do not nixos-install
me without reason
Do not uwsm start select
me without valor
True story... Loaded Linux on my machine to learn. Dual boot wouldn't recognize Windows despite many efforts. Then Linux cinnamon crashed and i had to nuke the whole thing. Still won't deter me.
💯💯💯
I look like that and say that
Yeah, okay. I just installed the free upgrade to 11, which took maybe 9 minutes.
If I had an old computer that wasn't compatible, I'd just install Linux. It's so easy even an idiot could do it.
