It's a little funny that most folk think of linux as this overcomplicated mess that you see in tv/movies. No GUI just multiple terminals and a billion commands to remember.

Meanwhile I just... turn my computer on. It literally just looks like any other OS, except I can customize it any way I want to. I mean hell, on a lot of distros you probably never even TOUCH the terminal. There's normal GUI options for just about everything.

Hell, my 60 year old dad took to it within a few hours.

I mean, here - this is my desktop I use every day:

It's really nothing crazy at all!

Tbh, I find it a fuckload SIMPLER than Windows, and I've been reminded of the fact again now that I dual boot on my PC.

#i just saw a silly linux joke lmao #don't get me wrong they're hilarious #but i also would like folks to see what it's really like.#and also FUCK microsoft and all their anti-privacy bullshit all over their OS - including fucking ADS #computers #linux #also don't mind all the fic docs lmao i'm editing

Well fuck you too Windows. Wonder why they're pushing this-

Ah. That's why.

Anyone got some good Linux resources for someone who hasn't touched that shit in their entire life? My big concern is whether I can even move my huge game library over + software or if it's just going to be a massive headache.

Otherwise the only thing stopping my PC from actually working with Windows 11 is installing a chip onto the mobo.

#kerytalk #windows 10 #linux #tech dystopia #fuck corpos #tbh this feels like a massive grift push just so they can get their AI on your pc reading all your shit to train their language models #noooooooooooooooooooooo thanks #'everything windows 11 do that 10 can't!'#that's bloatware #you mean bloatware #I want a PC to do what /I/ want not be overloaded with stupid bells and whistles that just take up memory you dingbats #the chip I need is the TPM because yes it would be ridiculous if this theseus ship PC able to run ray tracing in cyberpunk 2077 #could not even run windows 11 #but oh boy have I seen some shit about those TPM chips and I don't feel comfortable installing one

I love how every time I install linux I have to learn a different video editor, because the one I was using before suddenly stops working.

linux users after saying "switch to linux" 1000 times and then mauling another linux user to death for using a different kind of linux instead of like. providing me with anything useful. when i asked

girl i wanted to switch but like now i dont want to because youre being such a cunt about it

#i dont even have anything against linux i am actively looking to switch to it. but like everytime i am greeted with either the least helpful #advice followed by an argument thats like actually that advice is bullshit and then some more advice which leads to another argument #or just 'haha idiot doesnt even know how to use a command line what an idiot' when thats. what im trying to learn. thats literally what im #here trying to learn. but they never provide resources they just take it as a rant on how computer literacy has been declining. which doesn #teach anyone anything and does nothing to solve the problem theyre talking about other than the fact it exists. and then treat you like a #shit idiot baby for asking what to do when no i do know what a fucking folder/file system is is im trying to learn how to use the thing tha #you are actively telling me to use!!!#and then you run into the modern internet issue of not being able to find information anymore because its either locked behind discord #or the person asking the same question you have got told to just google it #head in hands....#sorry for the ramble im just tired

We were looking at Linux distros in computing today and. I thought all the trans girls and furries in computer science were joking. Puppy linux is a thing.

#sorry to all the people who arent trans girls or furries but are in stem and do puppy play #but ive never seen you before so #kitty screams #this post was brought to you by me seeing a computer fucking post and puppy linux being mentioned within minutes on my dash #what does this distro even do #'ease of use and minimal memory footprint' thanks wikipedia

I'm a college senior. I'm taking a course on wireless network security. Professor is going over the OSI model and mentions MAC addresses are unique to the device and cannot be modified. I ask about MAC spoofing.

She says she'd never heard of MAC spoofing before.

why does computer friend insist on being problems. i just want to play game.

#i would like to get to the having fun part #but am currently stuck into the 'screaming into the void' phase #infinite fusions plays well on linux but my wireless controller won't work unless plugged in #windows lets my controller work but now infinite fusions locks up for thirty fucking seconds every time you enter or leave a building #and the alternate launcher only exists in the bloated preload version and doesn't even work!!#so now i'm digging into a bin of older games to see what else i can potentially play during treadmill time

man i love the jetbrains ides but they take up soooo much memory i wish they would just rewrite their ides in a native language...

#with some fucking around with settings i've managed to get this minimal python project down to 2GB of memory usage when i have it open in #pycharm but my laptop only has 7GB of ram so i can't have like too many firefox tabs open or whatever while i've got my project open still #i might see if i can open my laptop up and install another stick of ram but idk #i've not bought ram for ages i dunno how spensive it is these days #also i should not have to buy a whole ass extra stick of ram just to use an ide 😭#i could switch to an ide that's not written in java but idk i like the features of the jetbrains ones and also they're what i'm used to #i used visual studio when i was 13 lol but they don't have VS for linux #they only have vs code for linux and if i'm using an editor not a full ide im just using vim

I am not having a good time rn. Switched over from windows to linux lite, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to download firefox. And during the long long long hours of trying to figure it out, stumble on a different thing called lubuntu, which already has firefox preinstalled, and like, cause I got linux lite based on the it's smwht similair to windows and easy to use things I've been seeing, how does this other thing, lubuntu, compare, things seem a bit complicated for me on linux lite ngl.

#linux lite #firefox #help me if uk what the fuck i should do to get firefox #on linux lite cause i did install it and all #lubuntu #i don't want to install the rest of my shit if this proves complicated

so I just found out my login manager won't start a dbus session bus despite being told to...

I'm using tuigreet with greetd - it's lightweight (runs directly in the framebuffer) and is enough to launch sway.

however, it doesn't take launch commands with arguments

Exec=sway ✅

Exec=dbus-run-session sway ❌

solution: wrapper script

Exec=/path/to/script.sh

environment variables can be set in this script too but I prefer to let sway handle that

#!/bin/sh

# session

dbus-run-session sway

.... okay so I just discovered tuigreet wasn't launching my sway session but instead a sway command (it supports sessions located in /use/share/wayland-sessions as $SESSION.desktop files as wellcas directly running commands with a -c flag)

tried launching the session with its wrapper script and my greeter user apparently doesn't have the permissions despite the script being owned by them (might be related to not owning /run/user/1000)

HOWEVER

running tuigreet with the -c flag set to dbus-run-session sway works fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and launches a dbus session properly

okay no

no why

I just tried setting the sway.desktop file to run Exec=dbus-run-session sway and it works

the thing. literally the thing that the documentation says won't work. passing sway to dbus as an argument. WORKS.

(the reason it did nothing the first time was due to my aforementioned confusion over session vs command in tuigreet)

#daemon.md #long post #swapon #linux #free software #void linux #greetd #tuigreet #what the actual fuck why are things like this
