Is there a bigger meme psyop than Linux "gaming"?
troonix can open .exe files too doe
I setup cachy the other day and I'm shocked at how well it worked. But it still just feels like a indie os slapped together with tape and hope maintained by a handful of people who could just up and abandon it at any moment. Same with any distro.Think I'll just stick with what works and hope it doesn't get any worse.
>DOOD LINUX IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTERWhy?>UHM..... BECAUSE.....UHHHH.....LIKE......YOU CAN DOWNLOAD RANDOM SHIT FROM THE OS DIRECTLY WITHOUT USING RANDOM WEBSITESWhy would I do that?>UUHHHHHHHHHH.... LIKE..... BECAUSE...... SHUT UP!!!
>>744561437Why don't you ask >>>/g/
Are people seriously patting themselves in the back for using the OS that's explicitly made to be used by retards
>>744561606>and hope it doesn't get any worse.it's been gradually getting worse and worse for years now and people like you have just accepted it because the decline is gradual, your hope is just cope at this point
As someone who dual booted for the last decade, I don't even have Windows installed anymore. It pretty much just does everything I want it to now. Not that you won't run into issues but it pretty much just works at this point I think the only shit that seems a little wonky for me is VR
>>744561921You say that like it's a bad thing. Windows just works.
>>744561437Linux is overall more fun to use.I don't even really care about gaming with Windows that much. Windows is just for Microsoft Word and shit like that.
>overall more fun to use.It's an operating system. Do you need bells and whistles and obscene graphics on your drill, too? You do own a drill, right?
>>744562220windows has made people so used to garbage UX that it made people forget that computing was fun at one point
>>744562220yesI wish Windows Vista wasn't dead and shit
>>744562272>>744562381Drill status?
>>744561437are those all executable? (i dont know linux)windows have screensaver files that are basically exe files as well.

LOL
>>744561830>Why would I do that?Same reason why you can do it in Windows now.Dumb cunt.
>>744562806Modding for many games is remarkably easy in loonix land. Shit like MO2 with steam games just works. No fuckery involved you just setup a profile for your game (much like on WIndows) and go ham.
>>744561437Linux can run exes too, lol
>youtuber that's a massive apple whore switches to linux because microsoft is le badI fucking hate dankpods
>>744563673You need to install Windows steam through wine to get the best mod compatibility for Linux, and you have to add a bunch of stuff to your wine prefix just to get it barely working with graphical bugs.
I like the familiarity of Windows and don't feel compelled to switch.
you are irredeemable goycattle if you're not on linux in the current year desu
>>744562806>discordTroon detected, deport yourself to hell
>>744564071Linux is for Indian men and transgender women.
>>744561437Microjeet will keep getting more and more disgusting and you will keep putting up with it because you're a subhuman.
>>744565080>indian men and transgender women?>what's the difference?
>>744562806>Wallpaper Engine>he needs fucking wallpaper engineAnon you need to be 18 years of age or older to post on this website
>>744561437I pity people who still use Windows. It's just so clearly inferior in everything it does. Also it's in the state Linux was in 2016. Yesterday I broke the GUI by accidentally opening a video with the image viewer.
>>744561830
>>744562220>Want to do a thing>Do the thing>The operating system compliesAs opposed to windows.
I set up a CachyOS dual-boot on a whim and I haven't gone back to Windows ever since, I haven't run into any compatibility problems that would necessitate it. As soon as I get over being too lazy to wipe Windows I'll probably reclaim all that NVME space and be pure Linux.
Works fine for me. Sometimes you might need to use the terminal then copy paste location of some windows exe then copy paste location of whatever file it might need to fuck with (if youre modding or romhacking). Use bottles one with wine and one with ge proton. I only need base wine with heavily modded games (ftl multiverse and fonv totww)
>>744565390based anon. what games are you playin? this is what im playing right now those 2 random games are beast of reincarnation and trails in the sky 1st i just use steam as a proton launcher and controller support
>>744565390be careful, windows likes to randomly write over any dual-boots it detects, including on a separate drive. I'd get rid of it sooner rather than later.
>>744562806>>Professional job software suites Nobody needs those. >>Games with anti-cheat (e.g. the things your friends actually play) Most work out of the box. >>Full hardware accessory compatibility (missing software tools/drivers for niche things) In over 10 years of using Linux this has never been an issue. >>Fun customization like Wallpaper Engine No idea what that is. >>Easy modding It's exactly the same. What the fuck. Only exception are certain Linux native games. >>Social features like Discord screen share to be reliable Only audio is fucky sometimes. >>Functioning audio 24/7/365Had like one issue in ten years and it was easily fixable.
>>744561437Long wall of text coming. This year I upgraded my PC and my windows 11 on my SSD was stuck on a glitch about the pin not being usable. Then I cleared out my OS and got me a new windows 11 download. Then last month at the beginning of July, after getting so fucking sick of the watermark at the bottom (even though I bought a key 2 fucking times) . I went to Bazzite.So over a month I've been using Bazzite as my daily operating system and my fucking god. This is pretty fucking decent. I will admit there's some faults here , the biggest being shit relating to drivers. Especially for my corsair keyboard + headset. Which took a little while to fix up. But overall, this shit is probably better than windows 11. The best example I can give is Total war warhammer 3. My campaigns and battles take SO much less time to load up compared to windows 11. I'm not really a PC expert so I don't know what the reason behind this. But overall from 20 seconds down to less than 8-10 seconds to load up my campaign. My biggest fucking complaint about Linux is this. It's still not retard friendly. I'm not saying it's not friendly for avid PC gamers. But if you're talking about me grabbing some random fuck on the street and getting them to use Linux for a month , I can see them switching over to windows 11. The whole terminal thing is anxiety inducing for tech-illiterate people. That's my biggest concern about it. Also throw in the fact that there's a fuck ton of distros. It took me research to figure out Bazzite is probably my best distro. If I were to grab my girlfriend and make her try to pick out a distro. I can see how she'll be a confused mother fucker on what is the best to play games and enjoy the daily PC experience. Besides the fact she is stupid, well the problem is MOST people are stupid. Never forget KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.

>>744565440FF7 Rebirth, Elden Ring Nightreign, Mordhau (the "random weapon FFA" servers are pretty dead nowadays outside of one EU one unfortunately), Kingdom Hearts 1. Mostly waiting for Beastmaster to release in FFXIV (it's due next month) and then it's just waiting until Evercold releases. Other than that I've been mucking around in Prototype a bunch.>>744565441My Windows install is a lobotomized Windows 11 with a metric fuckton of at-installation scripts to neuter its ability to phone home and update itself, so I haven't run into the dual-boot being killed and don't expect it to do so. It's something I'm aware of though. If it *does* happen I'll know I need to get on erasing Windows pronto and I'm already over the new-user hurdle of Linux and can just set up a CachyOS installation again, annoying but doable.
>>744565704>Linux theme over his Windows 11 installNice try little man.
>>744565701my one problem with Warhammer 3 on Linux is I can't get the Shazbot mod manager to work
>>744562806>Professional software suitesEither run it in a VM or get a work computer. Why are you running professional software on your gaming station? And while I'm not saying that open source alternatives are entirely there yet, the output of companies like Autodesk and Adobe have been declining for decades now and they've been coasting on their ability to buy out the competition and shut down their services, whereas alternatives like Blender and FreeCAD have only improved with time.>Games with anti-cheatThe last time any of these games were good was in 2012.>Full hardware accessory compatibilityI like that Linux isn't just spaghetti code on top of NT, so it actually has decent support for USB devices and I don't need to download a driver to even run USB DAC.>Fun customization like Wallpaper EngineLinux has better customization.

will installing linux help me find a tranny gf
>>744565854Its outdated bait, discord supports screenshare via xdg portal which is in every modern DE but people are better off using vencord or vesktop for better compatibility and adblocking youtube links. i dunno what people are so upset about linux gaming besides that one retard here who couldnt even get ubuntu working but the bait is the same every time.
>>744566070Vesktop, my beloved. Love that shit on Windows and was delighted it's on Linux
I guess codec nonsense is one problem depending on whatever distro you use. Nobara makes that easy. AUR is apparently getting fucked with malware. Trying to troubleshoot before chatgpt would have been too much effort for me too
>>744566119it thankfully just works, had some issues with it in fedora when they decided to update the default portal. They need to make that easier to set defaults but also my fault for having three DE's installed for testing with.
Ok faggots, I'm fixing KDE bugs again. Hit me with bugs you've encountered.
>>744566150The AUR was never really safe to begin with but with all the gamers being recommended cachy it became a big attack vector as most of them just don't know about how it truely works. I always recommend new users Fedora, nobara or bazzite depending on how competent they are at using a PC. I put my folks on Fedora and all the complaints with windows just stopped, cant whine about adware when they cant install it afterall.
>>744561830it's better because it has actual customization, that's all really
>>744566415Customization of what?
>>744562427what about drills?
>>744566150just use the windows flavor of linux called ubuntu
>>744562806>Fun customization like Wallpaper Enginebro has never heard of linux ricing
>>744566459the system. everything from themes to core stuff you dont even have proper themes in windows anymore
>>744566505I was pleasantly surprised that I can just fucking customize KDE Plasma no muss no fuss out of the box. My only gripe so far is that I can't replicate Windows middle-click autoscrolling and apparently literally cannot do that whatsoever under Wayland setups.
>>744566459windows 11 you can't even put the taskbar on the side anymore, linux you don't even need a taskbar if you want, or a desktop, or a graphical interface
>>744566521You can customize everything in Windows too tho
>>744566567no you can't
>>744566556Middle click scrolling should be accessible under general behavior. I added it to mine in KDE that way. I'm not a fan of its default middle click paste.
>>744566562So you are saying that Linux is better than Windows because it doesn't need a graphical interface?
>>744566567not everything, no. and the customization you have is done by adding third party stuff on top of your system that adds bloat and uses more resource. in linux you can just strip the system down to its bare skeletons and add whatever you want
KDE is shit
>>744566556It's being worked on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/9671#note_1567670Apparently nobody noticed that libinput just supports it.
>>744566607I know reading is hard for pajeets like you, but you should try it
>>744566643Sell me on using GNOME over KDE.
>>744566606General behavior only lets you tick or untick pasting on middle-click. It's very annoying, last time I looked up something about it I got a Redditor telling another Redditor that "oh middle-click paste is SOOOOO much more useful and SOOOOO many more people prefer it.">>744566661Oh thank God.
>>744566567Windows update destroyed my install because it changed some random gui customization. This affected enough people it got mentioned in a newer update note lol. Kept backups ofc
>>744566742why would you ever update, turn that shit off
>>744566691last time I used those were the 2 fun things I saw, when you press the windows key it shows every open window, and you have a mac like taskbarI honestly always seen KDE as bootleg windows and GNOME as bootleg mac
>>744566705Oh my bad, i hope they add it soon. Honestly i cant stand the redditor comments of "you're using it wrong/its better this way" when Linux's primary advantage is making it work for you how you like it. Hopefully they push this shit soon, something this basic should have been done years ago.
>>744561437If it's a psyop it's not working very well because nobody fucking uses it.
>>744566643>>744566691xfce is king
>>744566783There's a similar feature in Mouse Options you might have been thinking of, it's not quite the same but it gets the job done. Firefox and related forks also have an option to enable autoscrolling in the browser regardless of system settings.
>>744566838That might have been it. I haven't used KDE in a while since i use Niri+DMS these days.
>>744561437>friend constantly shills linux to me>he doesn't do anything but watch youtube and play games>complains constantly that half the games he wants to play don't run on linux>starts posting screenshots of his desktop layout thats 1 to 1 mimicking windows>point it out and ask why not just stick to windows>proceeds to chimp out

>>744566992okay but why would you update?
>>744566783>something this basic should have been done years ago.Browsers support in their own settings it which is probably why people didn't realize what was missing.
>>744567006>Retard doesn't even know what a stable distro is
>>744566992i dropped it after it broke my audio drivers every few updates, my shit was plug and play and they always sought the need to change my sample rate above what it was specced for, after realizing i had like two games i couldnt play for anti cheat it was an easy move over, fortnite and destiny 2 cant exactly justify a windows install.
>>744563968No you don't. That hasn't been true since like 2013. You download the native Linux version of Steam. Then Steam handles the compatibility layer automatically through Proton.
>>744561606>slapped together with tape and hopeThat's what dreams are made of, anon.
>>744566914>anon makes up random friend scenarios in his head to post on 4chananon... this is a bit pathetic...

>>744567116He's been doing it for years.
>>744567120show me a single mod that doesn't work
>>744563968The only game I've ever had any fuss with installing mods for has been FFXIV where WINE didn't want to acknowledge the vast majority of my mods because of UTF-8 standard muckery (even though none of my mods had any nonstandard characters). A command-line argument in XIVlauncher fixed that and everything afterwards works flawlessly.
>>744567051This is a big issue that throws people through a loop unfortunately, the settings may exist but people are used to kinder toys hamburger menus that control everything and searching provides less useful results these days so i understand peoples frustration when it comes to the little things in linux. God forbid they try to rice Gnome, poor bastards.

Can I play Resident Evil 0 Remaster without visual artifacts yet?No?Pass on Troonix
>>744567230>Remasteremulate the original, retard
>>744566150The AUR is not the official package manager. Its just where random users can throw up whatever they want, no different than hosting executable on Github. The official packages hosted with Pacman, on the other hand, are all verified by maintainers and are generally considered safe. Though if you're really paranoid, you can always switch to Debian stable where packages are audited for months before being released.
>>744567120I mean, r2rmodman has a linux port that can scan proton games and manage them without issue, nexus is working on their mod client and theres limo. I think the only issue i had was SKSE but that was a couple years ago. It's only getting better. I'd also suggest using something like proton tricks for windows applications that mod directories for you, found that helps a lot.
>>744567243No, I like the Remaster.
>>744567173Be honest: do you genuinely think you are fooling anyone?

>>744567148Not that anon, but the reloaded II launcher definitely did not working on that FFT remaster for me. It's worked on others like Silent Hill 3's PC port and Sonic Riders, but oddly doesn't work on the remaster. Probably a DX12 thing apparently (but it was the main reason why I refunded it because I wanted the unfiltered sprites in the remaster mode)

>>744566769>I honestly always seen KDE as bootleg windowsWindows actually copied off KDE starting with Windows 7, especially with the bottom taskbar. Here's what KDE looked like with version 1 in 1998.
>>744567373nta but thank you, this looks good.
>>744566150AUR is like the warez-style internet from the late 1990s to the early 2000s.
>>744567415anon?
>>744567415The one thing that Linux copied from windows was tiling window managers. Windows 1.0 was tiling.
>>744567120What about it? If a game works, then all mods work. What would lead you to believe otherwise?
>>744566343>I'm fixing KDE bugs againI ran into a bug that's called Gnome. I need something stronger than a foot deodorizer. And please, no usecase queries.
>>744567415is this really true? my whole life has been a lie. I thought that KDE was the copycat but really it was the other way around... also NTA
>>744567447What do people even use from the AUR? I've been on cachy for a year and never felt the need to get anything from there.
>>744567415Soul, i personally preferred CDE but the ricing is never quite accurate enough on KDE.
>>744567026Man I haven't seen that in a long time.
>>744566567Not officially supported.I really miss win98se and winXP. Those were the last times we had themes.

>>744567427I hope it works for you, I don't use mods myself that isn't on steam workshop.
>>744567710It could have something to do with native SDL vs xinput through proton. I believe thats what linux uses to manage input devices like controllers.

>>744567898dude it came after windows 7 lol 2010
>>744567650I remember having an absolutely ridiculous setup in college. I remember it involved the Compiz cube, but with windows stacked with depth, eye tracking via the webcam so you could move your head to look around windows, and a bunch of bullshit animations like windows being engulfed in fire when you close them. Then I lost everything with the switch to Wayland.Luckily, some people are bringing these backhttps://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows
>>744567510What they use doesn't matter, it's about discovering neat little software. It's like window shopping IRL, you never know what you'll find. That's why I said it's like warez. It feeds into the instinctual desire to poke around and find out.
>>744567925Compiz was amazing for the time, i think i used some kinda conky setup with crunchbang and added all the rice after. Sad that distro suffered repo death so quickly.
>>744567898It was forked from KDE 3 in 2010 after the main KDE team moved on to KDE 4. KDE 3 released in 2002.
>>744567960Does arch have anything like nix shell -p? Temporarily running apps in a cache that are cleared with the shell i found to be very useful for testing programs. If so i could pass it onto my friends who are still messing around with Cachy.

>>744568137nuh uh the trannies play video games and you can't do that on freebsd
>>744568056Denuvo absolutely works on Linux. I don't think its ever been a problem. What doesn't work are certain anticheats like Punkbuster. EAC works on Linux only if the developers check a box for Linux compatibility before shipping it. For whatever reason, a lot of developers don't.

I can't wait for every troonix user to 41% xerselves once Microsoft fully pushes out the K2 updated and turns Windows 11 into the definitive operating system for every good computer right before they remotely shut down every single poorfag tier system via hardware GDID, therefore making the internet and all tech spaces great once again.

>>744568054You can just install Nix on Arch.
>>744568280>remotely shut down every single poorfag tier system via hardware GDIDThe chinese on pirated windows would have an express delivery just for you on that day.
>>744568184>>744568213I just remember that every time I tried to pirate games in the last 5 years linux versions of the games had latest updates and all of the DLCs, while windows ones lacked almost all post-release content (if they even existed).Then hypervisor happened and all of these releases appeared for windows with a much higher risk of containing malware with access to the most inner parts of my computer so as a risk management measure I am not touching them
>>744568330It's still BSD. You can't expect Sony to give away things for free or anything that sounds free, they're allergic to that.
>>744568334Oh good point, i keep forgetting its platform agnostic instead of just another distro.
I've been on Bazzite since the start of the year and so far it just works desu.I'm not a linux newfag either, I just like the idea behind immutable systems. My PC is beefy enough that I barely notice any overhead from flatpaks and whatever either.
>>744568369And now Hypervisor is userspace-level on Linux compared to Kernel-level on Windows
>>744568369I'm still amazed at the retardation of stupid dudebro gamers and pirates wanting to run hypervisors to get around piracy measures. One malicious move and you can say goodbye to your PC build.

That's the real draw to keep windows until I do.
>>744562701>t. noobie Ubuntu user.deb would be the standard debian/ubuntu executable. Most common filetype you'll see assuming you don't install things from picrel or APT (the terminal).rpm is the same but for Fedora Linux. I have never seen the filetype in my life because I don't use Fedora..pkg.tar refers to tarballs, which are pretty much just zip files with the application inside. Developers do the same thing on Windows (with .zip instead of tar) so I don't know what the big deal is. Also these can run on any distro and are pretty rare unless you're downloading niche software. .appimage is the user friendly version of tarballs. One file, one click, then it just opens the app.snap and .flatpak are both for very user friendly package managers. Honestly they're kind of the same as .deb, but snap does automatic updates. They can run on any distro. There's definitely a lot more nuance to it but that's my experience. .[no extension] would just most executable files in tarballs. I think you can just click on them, or do ./filename in the terminal. It's kind of just a result of decentralizing things. Most of the time you'll just download stuff from picrel, which shows all APT, snap, and flatpak packages. Linux haters always make it look a lot more complicated than it actually is, most of these filetypes you'll almost never use.
>>744568513I mean the windows user humilation must continue, they're planning to remove all the legacy UI elements which is good on paper. In reality it just means a lot of third party apps are going to be depreciated and more resource heavy react code for the basic UI elements. Great times ahead.
>>744568623>setup the link to my NTFS steam drive with all the games I installed in windows.how
>>744562150OnlyOffice is fucking great though
>>744568623Just make sure you keep steam compat data off that NTFS partition, windows throws a shitfit if you dualboot due to invalid symbol file extensions. Valve has a guide on github regarding NTFS shittery.
>>744561606>valve makes an entire linux based OS for their flop of a project to bring steam games to consolepoors>not planning to do anything else with it, even though it's actually the only good part of the consoleWhy dont they just put a bit more effort into this OS and distribute it for actual PCs?
>>744561437i know this is bait but none of those are executables all are package filetypes. Don't expect low iqs to understand anything anyway
>>744568659https://github.com/Hezkore/steam-ntfstl;dr Mount drive with lowntfs-3g in fstab, if you don't know how to do that this shell script will do it for you
>>744568716They've already done that, SteamOS is available for normal install now if you've got an AMD graphics card (Nvidia shitters need not apply at this time, they're working on it)
>>744568623>link to my NTFSYou're living life on the edge anon. Migrate your steam library, there's an option for it in Steam itself. Then reformat ntfs to ext4 or btrfs. It's going to be a pain in the ass but it's better than having the drive suddenly get corrupted because linux isn't built for ntfs. ext4 is also a faster format than ntfs. Or you can continue what you're doing since it works, it's your PC after all.
>>744568758valve specifically says steamos isn't a windows replacement
>>744568712Yep, setup the symlink for it to my home folder and it fixed every bug that didn't seem related. All games boot, controller support fully functioning now.
>>744568663I got windows users using it over 365. It really is goated.
>>744561606>it still just feels like a indie os slapped together with tape and hope maintained by a handful of people who could just up and abandon it at any momentTo be fair that applies to any distro that isn't corpo backed, and even then they might just shove enough slop to make people want to get away from them anyway (see Ubuntu).On the other hand, you also get ones like Slackware which is still being maintained by the same people despite being ancient.
>>744568652I dread and yet want to see this trainwreck happen from the safety of my linux install. M$ has been a lolcow for years now and has become progessively worse with the mass firing of their veteran engineers with that pajeet in charge.
>>744566742>Not setting up third party firewall to allow internet for only games and torrentNgmi
>>744568806Nicely done. i moved over to ext4 but its good to see it plays nice.
>>744568789It's mostly Arch Linux with Steam preinstalled and Valve is the one handling system updates, CachyOS is quite comparable after installing Steam and Bazzite exists to *be* an unofficial SteamOS installation.
>>744567345How?
>>744568767Sage advice, you're not wrong.If I'm like 6 months in to not booting windows at all and wouldn't look back, I'll reformat the dedicated steam NVME. If it corrupts, I'll reformat anyway. All my saves are on the cloud and I would need to redownload the games anyway. I'm on a 1gigabit connection so that's not that bad to download a terabyte of games.
Can I shrink my Windows partition?
>>744568852Exactly, its getting a lot harder to not act smug when you see their updates breaking shit like notepad and the trashcan of all things. I wonder what its gonna take for a lotta people to consider alternatives. Not just linux but in general. Hell they broke office 2019 for mac who owned permanent licenses so they'd get the subscription. Read only mode documents, what a ruse.
>>744562150>Windows is just for Microsoft Word and shit like that.No thanks, I'll just use MS Office 2007 on linux, thank you.
>>744567880>Command-line package managerYeah, I already know nobody is using that shit. Windows users wouldn't touch command prompt with a 10ft pole if they had a gun to their heads.
>>744568948I think so but it can be error prone
>>744568948You can shrink it with the disk management to make unallocated space, power shell or a program in linux live like parted. If you do the latter it might force a chkdsk on your next windows boot but nothing will be borked. Most modern linux installers will give you an ez dual boot mode choice anyway.
>>744568943Don't you have a spare SATA or NVMe SSD from anons warning you about price hikes a year ago? Hook it up to a USB adapter and transfer back and forth, don't forget to verify the files. Or play low bandwidth games thru the USB adapted drive.
>>744568767>linux is easy and just works>btw you need to transfer all your shit to linux approved file system or it might brick your shitWhen will your windows emulator learn to work with ntfs without potentially shitting itself?
>>744569082>you should drive an electric car, it's easy and it just works>NOOOOO IT NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO USE GASOLINE BECAUSE I'M ATTACHED TO THAT
>>744569037every debloat tool is using winget retard
>>744569082when will windows read ext4 at all?
>>744569082when NTFS is actually open and not a reversed engineered approximation sweetie why do you think windows cant see ext4 or apfs? keeps you locked in.
>>744568948Not a fan of partitioning a drive, it's a point of failure down the line. I dual boot win7 on a nvme and Nobara on a separate drive. Also heard too many anecdotes of Windows after an update messing with the grub bootloader.
>>744569168>Also heard too many anecdotes of Windows after an update messing with the grub bootloader.not an issue unless you're a retard using MBR in 2026
>>744569168that has become a lot more common as of win 11, they keep fucking with the UEFI for no discernible reason and breaking the boot loader.
>>744568967>Hell they broke office 2019 for macThat's a low blow. Macfags are already in the gutter, they don't need the manhole cover thrown over their heads. Expect more shenanigans like this now that Apple is aiming at the lower end of the PC consumer market with that cheap laptop or whatever.
>>744569082NTFS fucking sucks>manages to make partitions unmountable if you look at them funny>incapable of defragmenting itself (most linux file systems do this)>ancient shit from the windows 95 days
>>744569107NTA but all debloaters are retarded. Use windows as is and firewall it from the router level. It's what I did on my now spare 4790k build with windows 11.
>>744561490My browser can.
>>744569082Use a kernel that has ntfs-resurrection
>>744569137Same day majority of games on linux would run natively without wine.The biggest linux achievement of past decade is becoming a windows emulator, all i ask is for them to go all the way through with it, because clearly nobody fucking cares about linux as anything other than that.
>>744569245yep, even on my macbook i make sure i go with programs i can trust more than the mainline shit. Localsend is god tier for sending shit between my linux desktop and the mac.
>>744569202Perhaps not, but I would rather keep it separate. Those SATA ports are just sitting there.>>744569214Funny, I don't use UEFI. I'm on legacy boot for my dual boot.
>add .exe to steam>run as non-steam game with proton>worksWhy do people act like this is rocket science
>>744569441what if i dont want to use steam
>>744569441zoomers are the most tech illiterate generation
>>744569461Lutris, heroic, opening with wine directly if you have the dependencies like visual studio installed to your user prefix. Its very simple, winetricks can also help you install direct x and dotnet shit in bulk.
>>744569461Heroic launcher or bottles if you want a library-like display of available games.
>>744569461Heroic launcher, lutris or even standard wine with winetricks. It might need setup but after that it just werks.
Should i use bazzite or steamos? I have a steam deck and really like it but i don‘t know if it‘s gimped compared to other distros or anything
>>744569569Only in terms of hardwsre support and Valve makes sure it supports their own hardware.
>>744569553what does it mean about me that when people associate anime girls with linux it makes me want to use linux
>>744569569steamdeck is fine with steamOS, bazzite is just similar to it for desktop users or people with handhelds steamOS doesnt support.
>>744569569>should I use the OS designed for the hardware or something else>>744569467
>>744569605You're trying too hard.
>>744569649huh
>>744561840All the actual competent people left /g/ years ago
>>744569605they're just copying windows as usual
>>744569597it means (you) didn't have breakfast yesterday
>>744569337The only reason to use Linux is to get away from the Devil (microsoft), but much like the real Devil windows actually has some good points and looks appealing and nice and tempting, because let's face it for all of it's faults it really does just work. So all Linux needs to do to win is "just work" the same as windows, but without all the bloatware and spyware and built in ads and all that other gay windows shit that Big Bill wants to shove up your ass and down your throat. Yet it's been over 30 fucking years and Linux's only success is working as a configurable system for corpos to use shit like point of sale (cash registers) systems on. Just make an OS that doesn't require a minor in compsci to use on a practical everyday basis, that can run video games, and doesnt spy on you. Thats literally all you have to do, but troonix creators are functionally retarded and huffing their own farts. They use their linux distro as internet street cred because they think using command lines is like casting wizard spells. Fucking retards I swear to christ.
>>744569569They're similar in function since they're both immutable operating systems. Just stick with Steam OS, you already have a deck. Nvidia owners will have to wait a while, perhaps a year or two.
>>744569107How many people are actually debloating their Windows install? How many people do you think care about that, or don't even know you can? How many Windows users do you think get interested in doing that but get spooked by the fact they have to use the terminal? And of the ones that do decide to use the terminal, how many actually know what they're typing in? Do you really think users are actively using command-line package managers to do anything outside of following a tutorial on how to "debloat" their Windows install?
>>744569535>>744569550>>744569553I want to double click .exe and watch it go. When will linux have this arcane never seen before capability?
>>744569715>How many people are actually debloating their Windows installyoutube tutorials with millions of views are all bots for sure
>>744567148My freinds host a l4d2 server that just doesn't work on lunix because of its mods
>>744569698>using command lines is like casting wizard spells.SourceMage. Look it up.
>>744569720You can do that today if you want to.
>>744569669its horrendous how bad it is over there now, not like HN or reddit are any better but god theres a lot of retards there. AI and crypto bros slurried their collective brains. Otherwise its just bot and twitter drama.>>744569720When you install wine, your system associates .exe's with the wine loader. Double clicking opens it lol.
>>744565440damn anon, those fonts are crispwhat de are you using?
>>744569720>Associate exe to wine>Double clickDependencies and whatever are not linux fault, even on windows you might need install bunch of crap.
>>744569720>I want to double click .exe and watch it go.Already does that.
>>744569749>How many Windows users do you think get interested in doing that but get spooked by the fact they have to use the terminal?

>>744569893I know it's hard to understand GUI programs can use winget on the background
It will never not be funny to me that modern windows vs Linux discussion is like ye olde console vs pc discussion.
>>744569943it's only like that because of tech illiterates and indians, just use the pc whoever you fucking want. Having a melty over someone using something is brown behavior
>>744569797Why do i need to install it? Why isn't it made part of the kernel so everything works out of the box?>>744569867It is though, linux should have all dependencies bundled in or at least being auto downloaded on demand by whatever you want to run. The whole thing should be handled on os level with no user input needed unless user specifically wants to fuck with it.
>>744569597I‘m gonna get a steam controller with it so it should work great. Is compatibility with headphones/mouses/keyboards only a concern if they‘re wireless or wired too?>>744569640I‘m talking about the distro i‘d put on a new pc i‘m gonna build
why do we have multiple threads about offtopic linux vs windows shit every day but actual vidya discussions get deleted for being "generals"
>>744569943and the idort remains the winner, still funny to watch retards self own though.
>>744569994why the fuck are you putting handheld distros on a desktop PC
Linux is cool if you are into computer science. It is fun configuring your OS like an autist and you learn a lot while doing it. But that audience is hyperniche. The average person wants a GUI so they don't need to remember commandline syntax to do something as simple as looking through their photos. The average person wants to download a game and hit play and it to work without having to troubleshoot or use third party software to get it working. The average person doesn't care about open source.
>>744561921Elevators are also designed to be used by retards and cripples yet I don't see you taking the stairs.
linux fags assume the windows user here is as tech illiterate as the average normalfag
>>744566459you can put trans flags everywhere
>>744570061this hasn't been the case in 20 years
>>744569994>Is compatibility with headphones/mouses/keyboards only a concern if they‘re wireless or wired too?You're at the mercy of the manufacturer's firmware but generally linux detects most of it. It would be nice if there was a pcpartpicker style website you could run existing hardware thru and see if it werks fine or needs money thrown at it to get the devs moving.
>>744570061You can configure Windows just as much as Linux
>>744570034Why the fuck is valve releasing handheld distros for desktop pcs then? It worked fine when i used my deck docked
>>744569045I did it :D
>>744569993Thats like asking why your car isnt both a 660c inline and a v12 out of the factory. Because not everyone needs it, nor is it the role of the kernel to provide that support, WINE is independent of the linux project. (You) should actually look at what the kernels role is and what it includes.
>>744570097reading the thread they are more tech illiterate than a toddler
>>744569993Proton should have most stuff sorted out, and launchers in general have tab to download common dependencies.Also, wine comes pre installed in most distros.
>>744570034Please be patient with our resident retards. SteamOS is like training wheels on a bicycle.
>>744570136do you boot your pc with big picture mode on? no because you aren't retarded, handheld distros are this way because they aren't supposed to be used as desktops
>>744570097Gamists are usually a few grades below a normalfag. They've deluded themselves into thinking they know their OS because they can install GPU drivers and mod a game and are too arrogant to accept they know jack squat. Normies are easier to talk to because they already accepted they dont know shit and are willing to learn some new tricks.
>>744570082Damn what a burn, I'm borrowing that.
>>744562806>Social features like Discord screen share
>>744570180What exactly is this supposed to show?
>>744570354>Show more options>Exact same options
>>744570082i actually do take the stairs. most public buildings i go to are like 3 floors max
How people are unable to follow simple instructions?Is not like everything needs some fuckhuge bash script.
>>744562098It's honestly the opposite these days. Linux just works and gets out of your way while jeetdows constantly gets in your way and bricks your SSD and is getting even worse due to being vibecoded by jeets.
>>744570354Just the kind of cherry mistake a windows ricer would do, like having two clocks on display. I'm tired of modern windows, anon. I really am.
>>744570108depends on the distro, which is another problem. the average person doesnt want to decide between hundreds if not thousands of choices. even if someone gets slightly intrigued by linux and abandoning windows the first thing that meets them is decision paralysis because linux is just an umbrella for a bunch of solo projects. The average person doesnt know the difference between arch and debian and they dont care to know, they just want to buy a box that says "OS" on it with the only option being "home" and "business"
>>744561921Just because something is hard to use doesn't make it good. There's no reason a book needs a convoluted set of latches and locking mechanisms just to open so you can read it. It doesn't need to come with a separate manual describing the author's entire creative process. You don't need special training to thread miles of film on a spool into a projector to watch a movie at home.You don't need to build a mechanical organ with a bunch of physically actuated, air powered instruments to play music on paper tapes. Software is the only medium upon which some creators insist on reinforcing a bunch of needless technical obstacles as some sort of essential part of the experience. It's like if cars still had manual cranks to turn the engine over and a manual spark timing control on the steering column because doing those things electromechanically is "cheating" or "taking control away from the operator."
only problem with linux is konami dumps are still iffy to get working
>>744570464>How people are unable to follow simple instructions?"Bro what's a folder? How do I get to a folder."
>>744565272This is the big reason. Every time I want to do something in Windows it fights me every step of the way.For a while it kept replacing my video card drivers, but it also kept fucking them up in a way I had to clean install the drivers every time. Like it'd install them ON TOP OF my current drivers and cause constant crashes. In any sensible OS I could just tell it to stop or uncheck the drivers install during updates. NOPE Windows assumes you are a drooling retard and refuses to do it. I had to regedit those particular updates to disable them.
>>744566914This. I have a friend on Linux too, and he also has random stupid issues regularly, meanwhile everything on debloated W10 just werks, and all linuxtards have to respond to this is some schizo semantics like this >>744566992
>>744570605literally "white people make computers hard so black people cant use them"
>>744570818>debloated W10Reminder support ended in 2025. Time to upgrade to 11.Don't get sassed, I'm just saying the same thing people said back then to windows 7 users.
>>744565440can you use proton without steam?
>>744570918>support endedwho cares, how does it affect me
>>744570605>It's like if cars still had manual cranks to turn the engine over and a manual spark timing control on the steering column because doing those things electromechanically is "cheating" or "taking control away from the operator."I mean this is true up to a point. Some automation is good and even desired. Windows just wants to do EVERYTHING for you. It's more like one of those meme self driving cars that will run through walls because it assumes it knows it's right.
>>744561437Gaming is fine, but I don't understand why my phone can open certain .rar standard but Linux can't, you would think that this would be their highest priority but I've been using Linux for years and "open it on another device" is their only solution.From non actually Linux issues I would like Steam to link the game's proton folder in compatibility tab so I can copy saves from windows games without wasting half an hour trying to find the right one, or at least give me its custom appID.
>>744566048Just speedrun any videogame
>>744570918W10 LTSC has updates until 2032. Linux can't be a good option if every single defender of the thing has to lie to promote it. Also this >>744570945, it's not 2007 anymore, you don't need weekly updates because javascript auto-downloaded virus.exe without asking you.
>>744570928yep, lutris, bottles, heroic and a few others can make use of it, not steam account needed. i think theres also tools to download specific versions. for caesar IV i have to use proton 8 and below.
>>744570987Karen sexo
>>744561437>.exe>.msi>.zip>.7z>.rar>.iso>.cue>.binwhat the fuck, windows gaming???
>>744570945That's the same question windows 7 users asked, and there wasn't an answer, just an obnoxious deluge of you must update for security reasons from pajeet posters. I'm just here to remind you that it's going to happen again.By the way, never updating. Pic related.
>>744569785>>744569797>>744569871Yeah, well... fuck you
>>744571004which one would you recommend? I'm a very no google and no steam kind of guy.
>>744570972>I don't understand why my phone can open certain .rar standard but Linux can'tI use 7zip for compressed files. I know it's windows only, but it works for me on linux.
There's still no decent W10/11 LTSC alternative to Linux
>>744570918*Microsoft support. Steam, Firefox, Nvidia and AMD still support W10 and you're not getting annoying Windows updates anymore. So, after 10 years W10 finally became a decent desktop OS for personal use. W11 will become ok to use once Microsoft drops support.
will never not be funny when poorfags glamor like it's a good thing they are still on windows 10 with no driver support for newer hardware because they are fucking poor
>>744570972i dont think ive ever heard of .rar issues in linux, even in 2008 it worked natively, some kinda issue with it setting for default applications maybe? for archiving gui applications use ark or peazip.
>>744571016W10 is unironically better than W7.You almost never get BSOD in Windows 10, it's much harder for a shitty app to crash the entire OS. It's also required to have recent nvidia drivers if you're into AI prompting, and many vidya won't run on W7.
>>744571078I actually have the opposite problem where newer operating system don't support my older drivers for capture cards and shit.
>>744571016yeah and they were right. there's nothing wrong with still using 7, you're arguing with a strawman. im on 10 because i like some of the new features, despite its problems it feels better to use than 7 >just an obnoxious deluge of you must update for security reasons from pajeet posterswho cares, you dont need approval from people to use your pc
>>744566343Im not the most skilled linux user and I have been using it for over a year exclusively, and I have yet to find issues where I have to work on fixing stuffHow the fuck do you cunts keep breaking shit?Im using cachyos with kde plasma, if that matters at all.I thing the only real issue was with the login screen, but I just switched to a previous version and that was it.
>>744571065You're using the same argument as windows 7 holdouts before they eventually broke and gave in to 10. Steam, Firefox, Nvidia and AMD will drop support someday.
>>744570972>.rarPropietary file format so Linux distros don't want to open it by default. If you only care about extracting files just install unrar.
>>744571171>Steam, Firefox, Nvidia and AMD will drop support somedaythey all still work on 7, you're fucking retarded
>>744571053Lutris is good, it has a search function for installing games too and setting up configurations and can read steam library, gog etc. heroic is for epic games but you can quite easily get by with lutris. i dont look up the games i install for compat unless something goes a bit oddly. VOTV had issues reading files for the tv and radio, just needed a launch arguement. little things like that but its not too common.
Is there any downside to W10 LTSC?Once you install the xbox gaming services or whatever it's missing, can you play all vidya on it?
>>744571118>You almost never get BSOD in Windows 10, it's much harder for a shitty app to crash the entire OS.But I've never had a BSOD for the decades I've been on 7. It was windows NT that gave me problems. I'm not budging. New video games certainly won't run out of the box, but pre-2019 are fine.
>be windows user>have to try and disable like 80% of the OS for it to be bearable>still a fuckton of telemetry>literally having to fight against the OS so they dont sell your sould out, this happens literally every time it gets updated>whooops, you installed Bejeweled again, somehow, and you set Edge by default, AGAIN.>Cortana is back on, btwAnd these people have the gall of saying that having a Linux OS is high maintenance.Motherfucker all I do is sudo pacman -Syu like once a week, reboot, and thats it.
>>744571169kde's new login managers can be a bit strange but you can always just replace the lock screen with something else entirely, be it lightdm, gddm or Ly which i opted for. I do appreciate how plug and play they can be.
>>744571214>Is there any downside to W10 LTSC?not really
>>744571171Correct, and 7 took a really long time before that happened. Shit, I think Steam stopped supporting 7 during COVID and the reason was some chrome shit. So yeah, use W10 until the shit that matters actually drops support, or until W11 becomes good (until Microsoft drops support)
>lil bro has to use a more than 10 years old OS full of 3 letter agency backdoors just not to use linux
>>744571203Nvidia and AMD do not have working drivers for their newest GPUs. You won't be able to use the newest features or have driver bug fixes.
>>744570956Windows isn't that bad, at least not in comparison to mobile operating systems. (As much as I fear it won't be for long.) I remember a time when technical people were complaining that Windows was assigning IRQs automatically. I remember when there were people saying USB would never be useful for mice or keyboards because it couldn't interrupt the CPU. My computer science teacher in High School, a smart old guy who was also an electrical engineer, insisted that PS/2 was always strictly better than USB.
>>744571280i debloated once years ago when i installed, then i disabled updates and everything still worksare linuxfags too retarded to use windows? why do you feel the need to update everything constantly?
>>744571203a 9070xt does not work on 7 at all
>>744571350>>744571384I wouldn't know, I'm not a retard who buys new GPUs. Have fun with whatever UE5slop you're playing though
>>744571397and there it is, the poorfag argument
>>744571358How do you turn off updates? that shit always turns back on for me.
>>744571358>I disabled updates on a computer that connects to the internet>who tf needs antivirus, just use common sense bro>I am very smart, in case you didnt noticeAaaah, my brother in law used to be a smug cunt like you, 'bro I work in tech' until he had all his savings siphoned out.
>>744571397There are older games that would run better on newer GPUs. The benefits of new hardware are great. New software, especially from Microsoft, not so much.
>>744571439same as it ever was, theres always a favela poster around the corner trying to justify their netcafe tier setup
>>744568390Damn, does chocolate insulate really well? Should I be filling my walls with it?
>>744571358They just have to lie because what you did is easily doable by literally anyone if you show them for a couple minutes and fixes everything for years and years. The genius IQ tinkerers somehow can't run an exe you can find on any search engine in 5 seconds that does everything automatically for you. Insta shill proves you're right >>744571504>>744571484There are plenty of debloaters with a "turn off updates" button, just run the first ones to pop like Titus and you'll find one.
i'm just happy i don't have to use windows anymore
>>744571542Don't do it unless you live in -10C all year round. Actually it should be possible after some processing, the chinese did use a rice mixture to stick their bricks together at one point.
>>744571358Actual answer? Linux works different under the hood. The company or group that mantains the distro choose how often the distro should update for whatever philosophical (autismo + practical) reasons. That's why you have rolling release distros that update everything almost daily, ones that update their core stuff every six months or so, and the ones that take several years called stable distros. So yeah, depends on you how do you like or need your updates in Linux. And compared against Windows, Linux updates usually improve stuff and don't fuck up your system randomly. So yeah, is fine to not update Windows if everything still works, in Linux depends on your choosed distro
>>744571731>Linux updates usually improve stuff and don't fuck up your system randomly.I respectfully disagree, I update once a month for a reason now
>>744571776nta but valid, i went to nix generation style for that reason. red hat distros would break my libraries on occasion and it was getting on my nerves, i can just test the new updates as they go without my shit breaking.
>>744561437You can game on Linux now
>>744562806>Games with anti-cheatI've had literally no issues with anti-cheat games working though. Was this figured out and fixed at some point? People still bring it up as some sort of gotcha, but it just works on my machine.
>>744571280Idk anon, I debloated win11 a year ago and Ive never had an auto update or anything I turned off turn back on. I know this was a problem in the past, but I think you did something wrong.
>>744571504My windows defender still works and I can run a malwarebytes scan whenever I want just in case. I also have ublock on firefox blocking malware ads and even though I download tons of eroge off F95 I have not gotten a virus on my PC since I was 12, over 19 years ago.
>>744562806The only real program I know doesnt have a alternative is Adobe after effects
>>744572163It just boogles my mind how microslop users consider even remotely normal having to debloat your OS so it doesnt try fuck you.
>>744566643OOOoooh
So what Distro is actually decent if you're on modern Nvidia cards?I assume anything Debian is a no-no?
>>744572562nobara, cachy, bazzite are the usuals for easy nvidia but you can get it done on debian based systems, just need an up to date kernel and a guide. mint or ubuntu probably has guides to get em working. maybe one day nvidia will pull the fist out of their ass and make it not shit but dont count on it.
>>744561830>better customization >doesn't suck a third of your PC resources just for iddling >sleep mode that actually saves battery >customizable as hell>can be navigated entirely from the terminal, so no need to bother with a mouse >can be installed offline with no user data, meaning you're actually anonymous that's off the top of my head, dedicated software is still a problem, but with stuff like winboat even that is turning into a non-problem
>>744572562ubuntu is the retardproofway of using nvidia
>>744572719>no need to bother with a mouseWha?
>>744572719I swear to god Im not trying to shill Linux but top of my head I cant really think of any software that gets me thinking 'damn I wish I still had Windows so I could use X'>SteamSteam>GOG, EpicHeroic>Battle.netInstalled with Fautus, working perfectly>OBSOBS>BrowserBrave >OfficeLibreoffice, but honestly I dont even use it at all>Text editorSublime>Digital artKrita is great, however I can use SAI 2 with Bottles. Clip Studio havent tried.>3DBlenderI dont know man. I guess if youre a heave Adobe user it may be a dealbreaker, but other than that....
>>744572719You literally wrote customization 2 times lmaoCustomization of what? Trans flags on your desktop?
>>744572914When using the file explorer, anything you can do with a mouse you can do with the terminal>move to directorycd >copy filecp>move filemv>delete file/folderrm>create filetouch>search filefindand so on
>>744572931i got clip studio working under wine, it runs fine.
>>744572986Yeah but... You can just own mouse?
>>744566914>and then everyone clapped
>>744572986you can do that on windows too
>>744573062I do have a mouse that I use quite a lot for internet browsing, but why would I do several clicks for file management when I can just write the source and destination of the files if i want to copy, instead of>go to origin directory>select file>copy>navigate to destination directory>pastewhen I can literally just do it with a one liner
>>744561437You forgot about .bat, .msi, .scr, .jar, "rundll library.dll,Function", etc.
>>744569993>wineThere is no user input 99% of the time. You run it through wine and wine automatically installs the needed dependencies.
>>744561437>Redditbob
>>744561830Based random website enjoyer.
>>744571964Red Hat was bought by IBM.IBM has a pajeet CEO.What do you think would happen?
>>744573415I have more luck installing old things on Lonux thobeit perchance
>>744573606for real, was installing xp and 98 era games without issue. Vista era games are a can of worms though, they dont like to work on anything without a fight.
>>744573415>Modern windows>Running old programsEl ol el. Most of time you need workarounds.
>>744573720people keep saying this but i literally never encountered a problem using old programsthe worst case scenario is resolution fuckery with old games but you can fix that with a single ddraw.dll
>>744569930GUI isn't exactly command-line is it?
>>744573939Its just a way to express commands, plenty of GUI applications are just silently running terminal commands and then providing you the output. A layer of abstraction to simplify and streamline a given process.
>>744561606>But it still just feels like a indie os slapped together with tape and hope maintained by a handful of peopleCompare this to Windows, a spyware os slapped together with shit and maintained by pajeets
>>744573415I literally just had to do a full reinstall of my drivers because windows downloaded an older driver on top of a newer one and it fucked everything.
>>744569797Yep. Its fucking insane how fast /g/ became a joke. The faggots there act up worse then even here when asking actual questions. All the generals like the piracy ones became unuseable because of the bots and other retards.I genuine dont know when this drastic change happened. You can't ask them anything
>>744562806>So fat his fucking underbelly protrudes from what is at LEAST a 5XL shirtHow the fuck can he walk holy shit.
>>744575589Makes me wonder where the old guard for installgentoo ran off too, in my early linux days the irc was actually really chill
>>744571207Just adding on that lutris is genuinely the easiest thing ever. Whenever I download a game off a torrent website I just point lutris to the installer using the GUI and it sets it up perfectly. You get a faux-windows folder with program files and the game data all inside it so you may modify the game just like a Windows machine. It has worked for AAA games, indie titles, even h-games. If the torrent was for a very small indie game and its portable (like the game files are already extracted) theres even a button for that in the GUI. I have also had no issues with using unpackers like FitGirl.
>>744576084you bring up a good point with h-games, i havent even had to do any locale bullshit with them. they just work.
>Linux is bad because it's not supported Even winjeets acknowledge that all the Linux problems are completely external at this point Meanwhile windows problems are completely internal, it's a shit os with inertia
okay dude just stay on windows then
>>744569669>>744569797>/v/ complains about other boards' qualityironic.
>>744566643Usecase for Gnome when KDE exists?
>>744580838self harm
>>744562806>Easy moddingThat's the only problem i've had out of all of those you mentioned (besides not being able to find a decent video editor) and it's the one thing that stings the most
>>744580838KDE plasma is windows 11 ugly
>>744581127I use OpenShot and I think it works pretty well.
>>744582054VERY cool counterspell at the end
>>744562806>Full hardware accessory compatibility (missing software tools/drivers for niche things)>Professional job software suites>Functioning audio 24/7/365These are the major dealbreakers for me to this day. I'll say though if you enjoy rhythm games Linux is actually better than windows in regards to lag but that's the only real gaming benefits it provides. For anything remotely not popular you are forced to tinkertroon
>>744568651Thanks!I never liked the Linux Store, like where does it even download from? You just have to trust it isn't a virus in the things you install.
>>744572719>>can be navigated entirely from the terminal, so no need to bother with a mousetranny
>>744582540>Functioning audio 24/7/365I've never had a problem with audio in Linux. And I even have a fancy guitar amp that runs a RTOS Linux kernel.
>>744583168the store reads the repository links that were included with your distrobution or added by yourself, the repos basically act as a warehouse of precompiled binaries targeted for your use. trust is a matter of the maintainers of the distro itself, its why people either opt for the more popular ones or go full autism and compile it themselves. Discover is kind of a crappy interface to deal with at the best of times unfortunately, its rather slow. I prefer synaptic package manager or just updating off the terminal.
>>744575757I know a lot of people migrated to 8 back in the day. Then that got shut down, so who the hell knows where they went. I hear Lain was popular for a bit, and also the [New Zealand Fruit] Farms. God, I hate how these sites are wordfiltered here. I'm not being vague about them on purpose.There's also Libera Chat, which is just a fork of Freenode after Freenode got bought out in a hostile corporate takeover.
>/g/ thread on /v/
>>744583851couldnt imagine going to the farm,looking at those lolcows makes me exhausted. maybe the levelonetechs forum is a good substitute since they do a lot of linux stuff there
>>744584040They do have a really good tech board, as well as a self sufficiency board. I just went to check but it looks like they're under a DDoS attack again, lol.
>>744584425I think they have decent off-topic(vidya, anime, tv show, weightlifting, wrestling and mma) boards too but they're slower, a lot less dedicated to their topics than /v/ and honestly I could not care about the lolcow parts. None of them are even funny outside of the occasional gambling guy punching a hole in his wall dudes.
world domination proceeding as planned
