Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Hell no, fuck Windows 10 too. It’s what started a lot of the bullshit we’re dealing with today.

    [–] placebo@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

    Yeah it's funny reading now that Windows 10 was good. I remember how people didn't want to migrate from Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 like people today don't want to migrate to Windows 11. Perhaps back then the issue was even bigger than today.

    Our family PC still has 8.1 (parents really don't like change and Firefox got security updates until recently). I think I'll upgrade it to 10 when I have time, the amount of debloat required to keep it sane is manageable as opposed to 11. Mom could handle mildly riced XFCE Linux with Firefox and our legal copy of Office 2007 under Wine but dad uses Total Commander and won't use anything other than drive letters.

    A suggestion:

    Dual boot!

    Call the Linux partition "Mom's speed machine" and the old Windows 8.1 partition "Dad's slow shitheap".

    Make the Linux partition as easy and intuitive to use as possible. Let the Windows partition rot.

    I'm sure dad will come around pretty soon when he sees mom's sleek setup and he gets a pang of jealousy.

    Good luck!

    Off topic but I always thought Vista was pretty good. A lot of the stuff people hated was just change. Things like UAC are normal now, can you image how bad it would be if everything still ran as administrator? Vista basically threw itself on the grenade.

    I use Linux by the way, don’t lynch me.

    Actually, what happened to win10? like much no updates, if some security hole get discovered, there wont be fix for that, sure, like it never was any extra secure in the first place... so, what changes now?

    [–] Johanno@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago
