It’s kind of crazy that I keep seeing this, as my experience with Linux users on Lemmy has been nothing but positive and helpful. People here are more than happy to help anyone who comes with questions.

Maybe it depends on the instance?

Sounds like kernel-level anticheat. Only a handful of games have this issue.

It’s not unsolicited though, the thread OP is referring to was complaining about people suggesting Linux in response to complaints about Windows.

I don’t do software development, so maybe I’m just not the target audience… I just don’t think tiling WMs are for me. Why not just have the windows overlap if you’re not using them all at the same time?

Things have come a long way in the past 6-7 years

It’s often literally the only solution to the thing the person is complaining about

It’s learned helplessness

I feel like so many people are basing their opinion of Linux on outdated ideas of what it can and can’t do.

There are distros that are incredibly fucking simple and stable. Easier and faster to set up than Windows.

If you’re gonna be a dick, you might want to get the actual term right. It’s TPM.

As someone who switched to linux relatively recently… It’s not a dumb solution at all. It’s THE solution.

Huh? I think I would just go for the better, cheaper (free?) alternative

The Linux community on Lemmy is not this at all. They’re all super helpful.

The community is already full of so many people who would be willing to make actual, privacy-based distros and prorgrams.

FOSS exists because there are so many creative people who just want to make this shit for fun and the fuck of it. And I think most of them are not fascists.

Because videos exist?

So what is the point here? That people shouldn’t care about their own ideologies? People shouldn’t allow the things they believe in to shape how they feel about something?

Makes no fucking sense. I guess we’re all supposed to always just go with the first thing we think about everything every time, and never let critical thinking get in the way.

Is it? I use https://piratebayproxy.info/ these days, as well as uBlock on “medium mode” so maybe I just don’t see any of it.

Isn’t Nebula owned/ran by content creators? Or have I misunderstood what that service is entirely?

People still use porn photos?

I’m sure you have your reasons, but I just cannot imagine continuing to use Windows over image viewing software?

Well thankfully FOSS allows anyone to fork anything, so I imagine there will always be decent distros out there.
