Just for clarification: with these style of posts, am i supposed to read the bottom one first? I can't remember when these types of posts came into circulation, but I've been puzzled about them ever since. It's like the first/top line is sometimes the punchline, and i feel like i spoiled a joke or story by reading it from top to bottom.
The user that screenshooted it had the bottom post selected, that's why it's bigger. However, top to bottom is the normal chronological order, see how they mention the other one to respond in the second and third posts.
On my PC, for some time now, every week is "week of the Linux desktop". My user experience only got better since I ditched microslop.
(playing my games on linux)
I'm doing my part!
very impressed with linux gaming now
my last try was 10+ years ago
games are literally running better on my (getting) tired desktop, and I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram which could barely boot windoze
Pride flag yet excluding laptop users.

The L in LGBT is for laptop

Iβm gonna buy a red hat to celebrate.
looks at PC "Are you ready champ?" - Me
I've never been more ready. - My PC
Tomorrow, I will pick up a second, empty, work notebook. I am part of a small group that implements a user driven Linux support in our 6k employee group.
We will make it more then a week, I promise :)
Starting my third week of the Linux Desktop. I've never been so happy to switch DE's as I am this time, and without a dual boot option for windows to claw itself back. Goodbye forever, Windows. My new DE is Fedorable
I could definitely get far more work done on Linux than anything else.
wait this week? fuck i have two things i have to do first and one of them is run a backup, the other i remember being life or death big and i haven't had my coffee yet and don't want to think about that scale of problems until i've had my coffee. oh i remember i have to design and manufacture another prototype. fortunately i have all the measurements i need finally. coffee first.
I think I would question the reverse. I don't think I could get my work done if I had to use something else. Maybe MacOS would work...maybe.
Iβve been having that classic moment for the last 3 months since switching at home:
βCan you hear that?β
βWhat?β
βSilence.β
PipeWire not working?
could be, but probably referring to no notifications, fan noise, and/or HDD clicking
Do people on Lemmy not know what a joke is?
probably forgot to pacman -S humor
that's why I said could be
Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can't say that about many things these days.
Honestly, this is such a great idea. Get the IT team to create a bootable distro with all the apps the average user needs. Have a video they can watch to get the basics down, have IT available to install one-off software.
At the end of the week give people the choice to keep going or go back to Windows/Mac and get feedback.
Try again in a couple of quarters.
Most people use web-based apps anyway.
interesting interaction
I run a dual boot.
Love that it functions so well on my current PC, as my last one didn't run Linux particularly well, and I love having the option to do anything private off-Windows.
The week of the Linux Desktop is everyday
I literally presented the first draft for switching to linux at the company I work for, today...
How are you all just swapping OSes all the time like it's nothing? I have so much shit to configure.
New pride week just dropped
In honor of this week of the Linux desktop I updated my Arch system. Will update again for the next week of the Linux desktop. Keepe in the loop!
Do you only update once per week? Doesn't sound very Arch.
I'm not lazy I'm, uhh, mitigating supply chain attacks.
Tried again last weekend to install and play "Strange Antiquities" on linux mint. Again - as expected - shit wouldn't work.
Linux people say their shitty software works, but it actually doesn't. And they're to antisocial to come together and work united on 1 distro and 1 distro only to make it better for everyone.
