Umm... How old is this meme? You haven't (really) able to play PC/Steam games on Mac for a while... Also, XFCE hasn't been a serious contender for a DE (save for a lower end hardware spec) for quite a while now.

This meme might have made more sense if it was comparing to Windows. Comparing it to a Mac now is comical, especially since a lot of Adobe software doesn't work quite right yet on M* series Mac's yet (though it is better than at launch).

Is it just me?

But i can understand if artists really need photoshop they cant do that on linux because adobe explicitly gives no f*ck about any linux compatibility.

I must say if an app doesnt work, mostly its intentionally by the devs, and that sucks. Especially on games with Kernel level spy.... i mean anti cheat.

It's not just you.

Having an all-AMD system certaintly helps.

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ohh yeah i have an nvidia gpu and for some games i have to switch to an oldeer/newer driver, but thats nvidia

[-] django@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 1 week ago

Lots of linux users just use steam and play games.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

And AFAIK Linux is way better for games now than MAC.

How the times have turned.

Maybe the Linux god just loves me but back on Windows I always had technical issues. From driver problems to blue screens. And since I switched to Linux in 2021 its all literally a perfect out of the box experience. Everything works. No problems. Much more stable. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The backwards root directory is not real, it can't hurt you Backwards root directory:

I'd understand getting Windows instead of Linux... But MacOS? That things has the usability of a bent spoon.

[-] Arkhive 3 points 6 days ago

It really just comes down to what you know. Moving from MacOS (from OS9 through like 10.12 or something) to Windows made me feel like Windows was the bent spoon. So many small things that to this day infuriate me. Just a couple that really stuck with me even after ditching both for Linux.

  • if you have highlighted text to select it, and hit the right arrow, where should your cursor end up? MacOS decided the cursor will be after the last character within the highlight. Windows places the cursor after the first character outside of the highlight. Why does this matter? The reason I noticed it was trying to edit file names quickly. I would like to right click, select rename from the context menu, which selects the text in the editing field, tap the right arrow once to move my cursor to the end of the string, and begin deleting whatever amount of text I need. If I try to do this on windows I end up deleting part of the file extension unless I tap an additional time. Not a huge deal but it legitimately messed with my muscle memory in just basic typing on windows.
  • the other aspect of MacOS that really is far and above anything windows has is ‘Preview’. Not QuickLook, which is a detail view of a file triggered by tapping space with it selected. I mean ‘Preview’ the graphics viewer utility. It’s one of those pieces of software that “just works”. It can import from pretty much any scanner, print to any printer, do basic image editing, open and edit PDFs. It’s really a phenomenal piece of software that feels like such a basic set of features that should exist in a default install of a flagship OS. Even the best free option of anything similar on windows doesn’t hold a candle to it.

These are two VERY cherry picked examples, but I also feel they exemplify the “what you already know is more comfortable” dichotomy. Like having to find a functional PDF tool is kind of just “normal” for windows. Few windows only users I know actively miss the inclusion of that by default, and a whole industry has formed around the need for PDF editing, and yet humble Preview still puts Adobe Acrobat to absolute shame.

osx showed me that windows sucked ass. It showed me that the terminal could be useful. It's at least UNIX like.

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Mac has a decent terminal (even defaults to zsh IIRC), homebrew for package needs, no obnoxious ads in the desktop UI, great (although pricey) hardware. I am an avid Linux user forced to use Windows at work. I would much rather use a Mac.

[-] IndieGoblin@lemmy.4d2.org 1 points 1 week ago

It runs the web browser thats all you need

[-] sandayle@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

We never say "reinstall the OS".

sudo chown user:user -R / will get me to reinstall.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

The fix is to chmod it all to 777.

[-] SnotFlickerman 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah even when my desktop broke I fixed it via command line narrowing down which file in .config/ was causing the desktop environment to fail to load

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 13 points 1 week ago

This meme needs to be updated, Gimp has CMYK support now.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Krita has a full-blown animation suite. And yes, the sound does work.

[-] froufox 2 points 1 week ago

Still needs 10 million clicks to draw a circle

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Circle selection tool, fill selected area/stroke selection with brush, boom done.

[-] froufox 1 points 1 week ago

You cannot move this circle, have to create a new layer for that. Okay, now put some text around the circle

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Smart Objects are afaik patented by Adobe.

Or just use inkscape if you want to do vector graphics.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 points 1 week ago

Hehe, that's true. Though it also takes 5 million clicks to draw a circle in Adobe Photoshop, or have things changed since I last used it?

[-] froufox 1 points 1 week ago

Idk, never used it

[-] Asparagus0098@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

It has a dedicated eclipse drawing tool.

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

S/he may be dumb

[-] espressome@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

ragebait much?

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 8 points 1 week ago

Wow. But I mean who needs Photoshop and Office anyway? I heard kids these days do everything on their phones?!

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

"What's a computer?"

[-] RedditEnjoyer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

this is technically a linux meme, so it fits the sub

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

No this is an anti linux meme, so it doesn't fit sub.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I'll leave it up because it's technically about Linux and technically contains a meme, and somehow I didn't suffer any spinal damage with that stretch.

This is prime linuxsucks material, yes offense.

Windows admins who are sad they didn't learn Linux when they were younger

[-] froufox 3 points 1 week ago

For us. To test us

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There are some peculiar machines out there that can misbehave in weird ways when you take windows off them. Unless you bought your computer from Walmart you are probably fine though. Linux has dramatically improved over the years while windows got so much worse. It’s just better now.

Windows is for stupid people at this point who don’t want to learn anymore.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Her and her girl gonna be pissed when they don't have no gaming. No cap, that what girls like.
