I got into mostly posting rather that commenting because of the hostility of Linux evangelists / brigaders. -Posts can’t yield negative karma on reddit. My comment is typically in the form of the title or in the customization / creation of the meme.

Maybe you’re still thinking back to when it was new; there are some posts from today (or a matter of a couple hours) with 3 comments already. It’s funny how people are criticizing it when there’s some adjustment (getting the right audience / parcipation) to be done in the face of a brigading / evangelizing issue from people it’s not meant for. I didn’t bring a community, and I’m not going to recruit for here from the reddit subs.

It’s unlikely that anyone is going to come along and contribute anywhere near as much as I do. -I don’t see the problem with that. Progress is happening and we are continually on the trending lists. IMO it’s working.

I wish I could just mute it for them. -Apparently not an option.

" that community isn’t a community, it’s literally just one account hanging out by themselves."

Is it though? Here’s a screenshot from comfy@lemmy.ml showing 2 other contributors (and this isn’t chat; I’m not here to ‘hang out’).

It’s also new and trending. Even on Reddit’s r/linuxsucks, I was a prolific poster, and continue as such on r/desktoplinuxsucks.

Maybe just admit being butt-hurt or mute, because you aren’t the intended audience and it brings you discomfort. -Thanks

It would be nice to see the genocidal religions being squarely blamed rather than the nations that are infested with them.

Dave Plumber is pretty damned objective.

Admittance of ‘all eyes on code’ being bullshit.

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

Isn’t this more of a pseudo piracy from youtube tool rather than an alternative?

Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.

I wouldn’t know any differences, as I wasn’t using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.

DWM, Newsboat, MPV, NSXIV

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch’s page didn’t work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn’t work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don’t.

Same way you’d learn to use your smartphone. -Why do we see this stupid question constantly?

Pan pizza wouldn’t need it.

I brought it up at work, since I had an idea like it a decade ago (but more practically done in a minivan). They complained it would eliminate jobs, but in the same conversation ‘people don’t want to work’. Boss drives a Tesla which should be self-driving soon too.

Racist propaganda.

Then why are we reading about it?

If you want her hooked; make it better (not like). You’re taking away Adobe, Office, Games, Topaz and other proprietary software, and you want to make it ‘like’ windows to boot? Outside of conspiracy theories about privacy and stuff, and people expecting an OS to run smooth at minimum specs; there isn’t much reason to use Linux over Windows, besides dynamic tiling window managers. I’d think you were an idiot if I were her, and you gave me the popular response here.
