Even 4s would be fine, anyone who’s made the move is better than anyone who’s stayed.

[-] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Yeah honestly even if you try it and give it a fair chance but still decide to go back that’s fine with me.

[-] GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

In that case the user has made a choice is the good thing. They've seen what options are there and decided Windows fits their needs best. That's better in my mind than a world where everyone accepts the OS that comes preinstalled on their machine as permanent and doesn't consider alternatives.

Best part is that it never gets old day after day after day af...

Can confirm, I'm using arch btw and every three pacman -Syu 's I run into issues that are new to me

[-] hubobes@piefed.europe.pub 46 points 2 months ago

One day I will figure out what other Arch users do and why my installation had not a single issue in the 3 years it has been running so far.

[-] utnapishtim@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

I was thinking the same thing, I have installed it on a laptop and it's almost boring how it just works.

Heh, that's on you, bazzite here (was arch for a few years 4+ish years ago) can't remember the last time an update was problematic (oh, wait, 42->43 broke a distrobox, but I do that myself all the time, it's what they're for).

I get a hit of dopamine just doing mundane tasks on Linux.

4 days?

Took me 4 seconds to realize I can actually use the super key and have my start menu pop up instantly and not watch it struggle to load 50 ads and tell me to download candy crush

Well I know I'm superior because I don't use the OS that funds a pedo's STD collection via stock value.

[-] halfsalesman@piefed.social 45 points 2 months ago

I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.

[-] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 months ago

Sex is cool and all, but that feeling of something natively supporting Linux….

Back before I switched to linux it was how I (as a then Windows 2k user) looked at any version of Windows w/o the NT kernel. Now its how I look at people who still use Reddit.

Maybe I just like to look at people that way.

[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

The few people I know that still use Reddit already used the Reddit app and the "new" interface before the API changes. I don't think they care too much to begin with (so yes, I also look at them that way)

And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

I installed Linux on my PC this week, so yeah.

[-] vogi@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago

Spill the beans! What distro are you running?

Imagine being a Linux user and a vegan, it's absolute moral self-masturbation

[-] riskable@programming.dev 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Vegan Linux users can compile their own protein from source.

Their purity level is so high that they can kill -9 anyone wearing a leather belt with just a glance.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

There's probably a pretty decent crossover between those two things.

I still look at Windows user like this after a year

[-] rocketpoweredredneck@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

I had been dual booting bazzite for about a year, up until last weekend when it borked and I wound up just reinstalling. I just deleted everything and went pure linux. Still bazzite, still a little scared of the terminal, but windows is completely gone from my computer.

[-] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

As it should be.

[-] Enzy@feddit.nu 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I run Windows and still look at them like this

Mostly because they aren't competent enough to remove the bloat.

Every day I use windows I find more that is wrong with it...

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

Yes, let the hate flow through you.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Ive been Linux only for 3 years and I gotta say, I still can't convince myself to move to a stable release. Opensuse tumbleweed is just on another level.

Unironically me IRL. I switched to Bazzite from Win10 this year and it's been real smooth. I can't belive how easy the transition was.

[-] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 months ago

Back in my day we had to manually install nvidia kernel modules. In the snow. Uphill both ways.

[-] Buffy@libretechni.ca 17 points 2 months ago

There are a lot of "And rightfully so." comments here. And rightfully so.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 17 points 2 months ago

Ten years and I still look like that.

Helps that I have to use Windows at the office for a constant reminder of how shit it is.

I have been using Linux since almost 30 years. It took me almost a week to get X running, since it had to reboot to windows everytime I wanted to look something up or get help. Now I buy games on steam without checking if they run, because... they just do. :)

Actually I don't need more people using Linux, I am happy with how it is now - no need to attract the attention of the malware industry. 😜

I went to Linux at the beginning of the year and "had" to install windows onto a drive this past weekend, I've looked at myself this way in the mirror everyday since.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

You know, I have used DOS and various un*x (hpux, aix, irix, sunos/solaris, sco, bsd, minix, sVr4, others) in the 80s/90s, before linux and windows existed, so I'm looking at you like this, peasants!

And after 30 years, same thing.

[-] dil@piefed.zip 12 points 2 months ago

I swapped back (250gb paritition on my 2nd internal ssd) for iracing and a few other nonsupported games. (and to do some initial hotas setup, moza updates, etc.) It's wild how slow windows is just in regular use, even opening the settings and clicking stuff takes 5 years while it's all snappy and fast on linux.

sudo systemctl reboot && systemctl deeznuts

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.
