@jackpot Then they ask what’s a bios? what’s a product key? how do boot from USB? there is huge details your missing maybe for a Linux native 15 minutes seams reasonable but my first install took maybe 45 mins, and I’m tech competent.

Also people will be asking how do they copy over their data already on windows. The other question for many is why would I want to? sadly the general population doesnt care about open source

@Hazmatastic @theredcaps I think it is a bandwidth concern, especially if multiple people will be streaming from the server. WiFi is unstable too its part in parcel, wired is just required if you need something that’s stable

@caseyweederman @makingStuffForFun the prediction imperative will come in before that. surveillance capitalism is how they will make their fortune

@Strit @blakeus12 forgot about element, but its sadly quite a terrible client on Linux. although that could be the fault of my nvidia graphics

@bappity no yeah totally I used it for ages it just sucks there is no truly independent privacy orientated browser. the closest thing to that is brave search

@bappity @asexualchangeling sadly duck duck go is basically just a bing proxy

@danielfgom ah I see well either way even if fedora put a backdoor in it wouldnt exactly be a secret. maybe a compromised iso from their main website but people would quickly raise the alarm over the hashes

@danielfgom @cygnus fedora is as independent of red hat as Linux mint is independent of canonical. At least as far as I know

@flashgnash yeah they work in proton… that’s not native linux. porting a windows game to native Linux is more trouble that its worth for most devs hence projects like proton

@thethirdobject @iHUNTcriminals I would say its a no brainer if you mainly use a laptop with a trackpad. its feels like the de is setup for laptops and has great gesture support. the desktop experience is also good though once you install a handful of extensions and configure the keyboard shortcuts

@Rooty even 3 - 5% is not worth it for a lot of devs for the amount of time it would take. you must also consider every update also needing the same care taken to it. financially small devs don’t have the resources and big devs know it would eat into their profits

@Rooty @Uluganda you mean apart from the extra work it takes for devs to give support to the platform, a platform where they will get less than 1% of sales.

saying “theres no excuse” is just delusional

@nottheengineer what do you suggest? problem is I’m limited since my home server is a raspberry pi so I’m limited to distros that support arm

I should probably give Debian a try, but I never had a good experience with Debian desktop.

@nottheengineer well thanks for letting me know anyway, this probably explains a lot of the docker issues I have been encountering which are “snap only” problems, despite me installing through apt

@nottheengineer is this also the case with Ubuntu server? If so is there a way to turn that shit off,

@sab @OsrsNeedsF2P @GustavoM @Kidplayer_666 @db2 @AngrilyEatingMuffins @bear I bet these idiots don’t even butter their drivers before baking them into the kernel

@winterayars @Coreidan yep did it the other day just spam no and your done in 10 mins. obvs Linux is easier than that these days but op is overreacting or stupid

@JuxtaposedJaguar @andrr_464 that’s better than most people, j know people who don’t even try remember their passwords and just do forget password everytime

@PeterPoopshit this has to be a shitpost this person is either extremely stupid or shitposting. windows install takes 15 mins worst case. no trh install is not great because you sit there for 10 minutes hitting no no no but its not hard

@happyhippo @bankimu but if your not looking to spend 2000+ on a laptop then they don’t offer anything. and the price for their min spec is insane a ryzen 5 8gb or ram and 250gb of storage. no ports, pretty standard display for $1,300 is insane
