Um…when it comes to desktop OS’s, they ARE the top, and always have been.

And even if you remove windows entirely, Apple becomes number one. Not Linux.

Last I checked, the highest Linux as a desktop usershare ever got was something pathetically small like 5%

And the reason for this is Linux developers design their OS as if the user knows what they’re doing.

Windows designs their OS as if the user is clueless.

So users who know how to use their computer, use Linux. And idiots use Windows. Well it turns out the world is full of idiots.

I tried explaining how to install a program in terminal to someone who’s never touched linux.

“sudo apt install program”

And her response was “ooooh, no no no no no! That’s too much for all that! Ain’t nobody got time fo’ all dat!”

I have no idea which OS she’s using these days. Haven’t talked to her in years.

But if I had to bet my life savings, I’d bet she’s still never touched Linux.

I’ve said it a million times. The year of linux will come 5 years AFTER a distro is released which not only holds the users hand, but handcuffs it. Does EVERYTHING for the user, so the user never ever ever ever has to even know how to do anything. Update a driver? They don’t even know how to do it in windows! You think they’re going to try their hand at updating kernals and such in Linux?

How big is the torrent, and where do I download from?

I’m pretty sure I almost bought those years ago. Instead I bought the Seinheiser PXC 550. This was 2018. I’ve had to replace the ear padding once. Which was super easy. They just unclip, and the new ones clip right in.

Sorry. You gotta go to jail now. Your toddler grabbed a juicy juice box from your smart refridgerator without being 18+.

Thats my plan.

I work a job at an airport assisting the elderly and disabled with wheelchair assistance.

I cannot tell you, literally cannot tell you how many people sit in my wheelchair, and IMMEDIATELY start talking about the weather.

Uggghhhhhh!

I would be pleasantly surprised if the conversation instead was like this:

“So, hows your day going?”

“I murdered my wife and kids last night. Then I ate their corpses…”

“Really? That’s fantastic. Hey, what operating system are you using?”

Nah. I find most people are just jackasses. The business owners just have the resources available to them to get away with more.

Feels weird upvoting this comment. I have to remind myself. It’s not you I’m mad at. You’re not the one doing this. You’re just the messanger.

Hear that guys? Smaller is better. If you have a bigger one, she won’t remember it…

Me: Using 11 year old PC. Originally rjnning Windows 7. Now running ZorinOS.

I don’t particularly like linux, but…

looks at Windows 10…11…now 12…

Yeah, fuck that dumpster fire.

I want to see a Jurassic Park movie where it’s just geese and swans breaking out of captivity, and mildly annoying everyone.

Thats my one complaint about Lemmy. It only gives content for like 3-4 hours. How am I supposed to take a shit for 7 hours at work, with such little content and comments???

I feel like I read every comment on this site. I’m wrong, obviously, but thats how it feels.

I love when people comment. You should comment 400x more everyday. Everyone should! Tell us everything! What’s your life story? How was your childhood? Did you have a bully? Did you punch them in the nose? Did you win the science fair? Did you play football? How were your college years? Did you drink 3 bottles of Bacardi 151, and wake up in Michigan in a hotel room filled with 7 lemurs, in a room paid for by Rick Morranis with zero explaination of how you even got to Michigan?

FEED THE MACHINE!!! ATTENTION SPANS DWINDLE!!! ADHD IS REAL!!! OOOOHHHH!!! I SEE A PUPPY OUTSIDE!!!

runs outside to play with a puppy before you can respond

See, here’s the big open secret. All these politicians, who make all these rules? They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. They think a kernel is something that gets stuck in your teeth whrn you eat corn.

Simple solution. From now on Linux distros should ship with a big message “NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA”.

You want to force age verification? No server in all of California will run. Period.

…you want us to get together and moan with each other? Buddy! I didn’t know this was that kind of app!

Kinda feels like at this point it’s not “if”. It’s “when”.

“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”

What is converser.eu, and can I use it to deliver french fries to my mouth?

Oh yeah? What’s your favorite curse word, and what’s your favorite display of violent imagery.

Me personally I’m partial to the french killing the wealthy with a guillitine.

You posted this 2 hours ago. However I read this same post yesterday.
