Like no. I’m not interested in paying for a rebranded mullvad.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average
42·3 years agoUbuntu is the best bet for a distro to just work well out of the box.
Granted I have still had a fuck ton of issues, errors, etc, but Ubuntu is the only distro that has worked the best out of the box. Fedora was a broken mess, and Mint was in between.
So if you want anyone to not give up on Linux, direct them towards Ubuntu first. You can always switch distros later, but spending 3 days trying to fix issues on a different distro isn’t fun.
Other than me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person, business, etc, in the wild running Linux.
Even business signs/billboard I’ve seen run Windows.

Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

The context is that code made its way into shipped open source software.
The type doesn’t matter. It proves that there can be slip ups.
Move goal posts, though.
But oPeN sOuRce iS sAfe.
Meanwhile I have 25ft cables running my large format vinyl printers lol
Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux Distros, already did that.
Or are we just hating on Windows?

Like Lemmy.



They have a successful channel and are known for speaking out about whatever they have issues with.
It’s the only channel on YouTube where you’ll find a 3 hour video ranting about how a tea kettle works.
