1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Bill said Windows 10 was the last one, so...

    [–] ass_destroyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

    True story: I had been consistently telling my laptop not to upgrade to Windows 11 for literally months. I left it at home for like 3 days and when I came back it had upgraded itself anyway. That was the day I completely deleted Windows from my laptop. Formatted the entire hard drive and haven't regretted it yet. Never even logged into Windows 11.

    where linux

    [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    11? Fuck that, I'm not sidegrading to 8.

    I ain't even joking. My media PC is still on 7, everything else is on Linux now.

    Isn't it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)

    [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.

    Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

    If it is connected to your router it’s a point of ingress.

    [–] Fed@lemdro.id -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days

    [–] ech0@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

    Lol! You're an idiot

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    Why not run a minimal distribution like Alpine if you're just torrenting?

    windows 8 made me switch to linux

    [–] XEAL@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I've been forced to install Windows 10 on my brand new build because it doesn't support W7.

    But Steam is also dropping W7 support by the end of this year anyway. Yes, there are native Linux games on Steam and there's also Proton and WINE, but it's not a 100% solution.

    [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

    Well, I was hyped for Baldur's gate 3, and I may still end up getting it, but I'd have to upgrade too much hardware to play it, and there's really no other games that I'm interested in.

    Musicbee is the main reason I'm still running 7 on that pc rather than some flavor of linux. If it ever gets a port, or actually starts working right via wine, bye bye windows for me.
