I agree with you, lol. The other day I tried windows 11 at a store, and it was a pain. The learning curve was bigger from windows 10 -> 11 than from windows 10 -> KDE.
I’m curious about your choice of Gnome for your wife, though. If she’s hopeless with computers, why give her a less (imho) intuitive DE to play with?
The problem is that he is a fascist and fascists always need an external enemy to blame.
Love to read this, I’m exactly on the same journey! Was using Mint until a few days ago, and now I’m on Aurora. There is a bit of a learning curve due to the atomic factor (some apps aren’t in Discover), but overall I’m happy with the stability.
Linux is truly wonderful and I look forward to learning more and seeing it grow. Fuck Microsoft, I’m done with their crap.
NGL that smiley face from Finder looks so condescending lmao. My wife’s laptop is a Mac and it’s hilarious every time how it shows up so often. Like Clippy from Word lol.
Always the same gadlighters trick: acuse others of doing what you are doing.
This is not how I envisioned socialism and redistribution to work, but I’m okay with it.
Sorry to say, but both Zen and Floorp were obvious honeypots from the beginning.
Unsolicited advice, but don’t adopt the latest browser/search engine/OS that promise privacy and/or security, and you’ll avoid a lot of disappointment. Most fall apart at the seams within a year or less.
If the one browser/SE/OS you currently use works, stick with it until more research on the newer stuff comes out. Then you can reassess.
Does he think
No.
And nothing of value was lost.
Those are also the colours of the US flag, the obnoxious font is very reminiscent of Texas hold’em salons, and let’s be honest Tony is not a Dutch name at all.
Look, I totally get it man, I’m just as propagandized as anybody else to just associate certain patterns to US products.
I believe he’s trying to say “here’s other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs”. Who knows.
Interesting design, by the colours and font it actually looks American.
I’m now curious to try but it doesn’t seem to exist in Spain, sadly.
That’s what this conversation is about. Normally I’d chastise people for not reading through to the body of the linked article, but this time it’s right in the headline. You literally could not have reached this post without reading it at least once.
It’s called having a conversation and typically in those people move past the starting point on to other related topics. There’s no need to read malice into it.
You’re welcome to not answer further, too.
Well, yeah. What kind of security do you think normies are running? They won’t even get hijacked by an unpatched Windows 10 exploit, they’ll just try to download The Last of Us by opening “WatchOnlineMoviesFree.exe” when a pop up tells them to.
Well exactly, although let’s be honest: “normies” will downgrade upgrade to windows 11 because they always want the latest greatest thing.
Business operations will go with whatever is cheapest to maintain, which is the entire point of LTSC and the article in the link.
This might be true wherever you’re from (I’m assuming US?) but it’s in no way reality where I live. Here you must use a secure OS for businesses, you can’t just use whatever.
I suppose. We would have to know if it’s worth their while to work on security flaws (which I imagine they will put zero effort into and pretty much just answer to bounty hunter reports) for $30 a year.
But because I know Microsoft and am used to their shenanigans, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that lasting for too long.
I personally use Fedora (starting yesterday actually), but Mint is definitely a serviceable distro that works for a wide variety of people.
I simply don’t like how it stays so behind on updates (I see that as a big security and privacy risk), but if you don’t need windows-only proprietary software, or all you do is browse the web, then Linux Mint is a familiar and usable enough distro.
If you’re going to criticize Mint for being behind in packages, then you also need to criticize Debian, because that’s where the philosophy comes from.
Wow! Thank you for going through the effort of figuring out whether there was a solution for me. I really appreciate it!
You’re most welcome!
Which a shame because I do want Linux to be more widely used than it is currently, and I think small annoyances like this are part of what is holding it back.
And yes, I completely 100% agree. Hopefully there will soon be a fix for this, because like you said, it really sounds like something that should be able to be fixed relatively easily, lol.
Anyways, best of luck to you in the future!
Hey, so I just tested this and you’re right, it doesn’t work as you described.
I suppose I unconsciously found workarounds and just ran with it.
For the examples you mentioned:
I’m is achieved by typing ’ and then space.
ç you can get with AltGr+<
The other two, I have no idea what they are, but I trust your judgment.
I also went around some forums and yeah it appears other people report it doesn’t work as it should. A bummer.
Maybe there already are some custom keyboard layouts out there you can download?
To get
I hear you, but me get this straight:
Windows fleeced you out of a technology they were supposed to support for the years to come, but you’re still gonna snide Linux and stay with Windows? Lol.
Hmm, you may be onto something here.
I think I’ll test drive it and consider the same for my wife. She has a Mac, and she says she prefers Windows (clearly she hasn’t used it in nearly a decade), and this might be an option for her if I can just put all the stuff she uses on the bottom docker.
Thanks for the tip, and best of luck in your Linux journey! 🐧
