Better not mention that you don’t use Firefox
Twice is a coincidence, thrice is a conspiracy

Joke’s on you, I use star trek and watch Linux.

It’s okay, BSD, Haiku, and even Amiga users are welcome too.
Temple OS user here, I’ve been welcomed as well.
OS/2?
edit: I had no idea - it lives
Call me when I can play ALL the video games I want to play on Linux and I’ll happily ditch windows.
Hard mode: you aren’t allowed to mention Proton or tell me to abandon video games I like because “Well kernal anticheat is bad and was invented by satan” (it is, I know, I still want to play fortnite occasionally or whatever).
Dual boot would like to enter the chat
Dual boot is great until a random windows update borks it :/
It can only do so if both OS are on the same drive.
It is recommended to use two physical drives: one for Windows, one for Linux.
Never failed me in years.
Thanks for making me realise why I never had the legendary “Windows broke dual boot” issues that everyone says are so common. I always used separate drives!
As well as Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher
While great overall, these are just launchers/wrappers for Wine/Proton with built-in library
They will not help launch something that can’t be run with Proton, and for hard mode, they won’t add native support.
So, nice, but not what OP is looking for
ring ring: This is your upcoming Steam Deck purchase calling from the near future.
:)
As a Linux-only person I can totally acknowledge the need for Windows if you want to be a regular player of specific popular games. And maybe VR. I haven’t tried it recently after playing a ton of VR a few years ago.
But I can also point out the fact that I probably already own more games than I will ever finish in my adult life, and just in case I do there are also more games released every year that work on Linux that I could ever play. So if a game will not work in Linux even with proton and whatnot, my life is not negatively affected by that game not existing in my world. (I’ll admit I probably didn’t always think this way, but for a long time I still ran Windows and didn’t think about it either way)
You can dual boot.
I find that ideal. I strip Windows down to the bone, turn off defender realtime and some other security measures (which I don’t worry about since Windows can’t read my Linux partitions), and it makes games fly.
And use Linux for basically anything else.
No messing around with stuff that doesn’t want to work on either OS. And Linux is so much easier/faster for so many things (like anything GPU compute, or dealing with media, or Java games like Minecraft/Starsector).
This feels too real. But I’m still grateful for all of you people on lemmy even if I don’t completely fit in
Ditto. But from the looks of it I’ll have to learn Linux eventually. The upside is that there is enough information online for a noob to do it.
The problem for me was the time sink, sure I could customize the entirety of my OS, but it’d take me a few years! ADHD hell. Wasn’t willing to devote all my freetime to that just yet.
I hear you. I’m pragmatic. I don’t care about customization as long as I can do the bare basics I’m good. Makes life simple and less stressful.
Shit! I’ve been watching linux and using Star Trek!
I use plenty of Linux on server side, just that I use Windows as my daily desktop OS for some godforsaken reason.
I actually got back to watching Star Trek recently!
So you’re a BSD user and Stargate fan?
Babylon 5, and I multi boot.
GASP
They use Haiku and watch Farscape.
TempleOS and BSG
So say we all.
They’ll never suspect me

But are you at least a socialist?

Fed posting
Alex Garland, Yuk.
As bad as Kathryn-Von Riefenstahl-Bigelow.I have mixed feelings about the movie, but that was a good line and Jesse Plemons delivered it well.
He’s a good actor, he shouldn’t do garbage movies.
Lol in the original thread, I mentioned that I forgot to add communist to the meme.
At least?
This implies there are levels or grades, here. What’s at the top of the pyramid?
Begin leftist infight in 3… 2 … 1…
This thread really pinning Lemmy down.
Ah leftist infighting goes all the way back to the French Revolution in fairness but… Yeah I can’t disagree. Like I’m a male shiny white western Linux user who loves Star Trek.
I’m like those lads you see in cargo shorts and sandals on holiday. FML.
Absolute basic Lemmy user.
That’s starting to sound like a hierarchy 🏴
Or don’t speak German
I speak some but I still block all of the German communities.
Warum?
Warum nicht?
Was hat er gegen deutsche Communities?
I don’t have anything against the German communities but my vocabulary has some gaps. Also even when I understand all of the words I often don’t understand the context because of German memes referencing other German memes. Sometimes German politics are hostile also. I’ve lived there, that isn’t new.
Mostly I generally only get on Lemmy to relax as I’m preparing for sleep. At that time of day I don’t want to look up words I don’t know. And I don’t want to read things that even understanding all of the words, I don’t understand. I’ll likely never move back to Europe, I’d rather spend my time on more useful languages in the global and my regional realities. Spanish. Chinese, Japanese, maybe even Korean. I know some French, Dutch, Norwegian, Korean. German is my strongest 2nd language but I don’t expect to use it, or French or Norwegian anytime soon.
Als selbst deutscher kann ich nur sagen dass übersetzte meme reposts und zwanghaftes zangendeutsch nicht besonders lustig sind. Ich_iel nervt eigentlich nur.
“Ich iel” rollt auch nicht so leicht von der Zunge, finde ich.
Die kommentar sektion ist aber sehr lustig und oft informativ
