Would you like an eli5 for some stuff you’ll see in the linux community/forums/etc?

I’d personally be happy to give you a quick rundown of some stuff.

Really? I swore I’ve been told that the regular mint uses snaps since ubuntu loves them. I haven’t used mint since snaps were a thing eitherway.

I’m also going to recommend Linux Mint, its a really friendly beginner distro. I’ll presonally recommend you do Linux Mint Debian instead of normal linux mint since regular linux mint is Ubuntu based and really loves snaps.

The default user env is cinnimon which is going to look a lot like Windows 10 making the transition easier. If you want to install steam its literally a command line away from installing and then its ready to go. That and Steam personally pushing for Linux as a viable gaming platform there are a lot more games now that work out of the box now on steam.

What? Are you saying a bunch of racist slave holders might have also been ageist? Complaing about “kids these days”?

enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another

Merriam webster dictionary definition 2D.

That is a definition people use when discussing libre software. The software is under YOUR control. If adobe says “fuck you, you don’t get the brush tool anymore” thats it for the brush tool. If gimp gets rid of a feature in the main branch, you can say “no fuck you I like this tool” and can just keep the code base that included it still.

Also you have a rather perscriptive understanding of language, which just simply isn’t how language works. Languages evolve over time. Open up a dictionary and see how many definitions are listed as antiquated. Those are definitions that aren’t used anymore as they fell out of favor.

Now get off your high horse about how words aren’t the same as they used to be or how words are frozen to definitions.

I always do non-human if the option is given too. Its just more fun to be a lizard person or an alien, if not, I go for “eh, that looks enough like me”

Yesterday as I was helping someone with their computer a couple of coworkers were talking about how the hunter biden trial was super quick compared to trumps and yadda yadda yadda. Its mind boggling. Like, guys you got what you wanted. You can legally say Hunter is a criminal without it being libel/slander. Hes a felon now. What did this accomplish exactly now that hes a criminal? Hes still not on any ballot. Hes still a fail son, but like he’s not doing anything.

Hmmmm. Best outcome I can think of would be the judge telling the dao to fuck off then putting pharma bro back in prison because.

Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.

Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.

I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything

Yeah thats hard. I knew like 4 of them and guessed the rest. Still only got 13.

This is fairly common for tech jobs, asking for more experience than is phisically possible. Theres a whole sub about shit like this on the old site.

I was just talking to my friend anf his job is going to use AI to parse contracts to understand who is Liable for X, whose responsibility is Y, etc.

So yeah no we’re close.

I know you already have your answer but for anyone else: side scrolling anti-capitalist beatem-up

Yeah, even the “playable” tag i have to check what they mean by that. Psychonauts 1 and 2 are “playable” but both need you to manually pull up the keyboard and show xbox controls… Like okay? That’s all? They play perfectly.

I also downloaded an indie game “tonight we riot” and its not even tested. Want to geuss how well it plays? Spoiler, perfectly fine.

I’m genuinely greatful for steam personally pushing for more games to work well in linux even if the game needs a compatibility layer like Wine or proton.

Lol, it’s at 1/3 of its peak a few weeks ago.

Oh the sweet schadenfreude.

Seriously, I don’t understand tgat person’s point. Before elon the check ment “yes this really is Billy West, voice actor for a lot of things”. It wasn’t a hard concept.

Lake Superior holds 10% of the Earth’s surface fresh water. The Great lakes hold 21% of the Earth’s surface fresh water.

some European countries are much bigger than Michigan

Yeah and Michigan is bigger than many European countries.

Land area of Michigan: 150,504 km^2

Land and water area: 250,493 km^2

Area of Austria: 83,879 km^2

Portugal: 92,230 km^2

UK: 244,376 km^2

Denmark: 43,094 km^2

Belguim: 30,689 km^2

Netherlands: 41,865 km^2

I know this is a shit post, but I don’t think most non natives truely grasp the vastness of America. This is A state thats bigger than Denmark, Belguim, and the Netherlands combined without including Michigans water area.
