Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.

Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Fun tip: if you’ve sorted the details list by cpu and the keep dancing around, hold down Ctrl to stop them from getting away while you kill them.
Ah, so satisfying
much more satisfying when you uninstall windows.
yeah, i'm that guy, too, now.
Hey, you’re just doing your due diligence by removing malware.
i'm seriously considering starting one of those companies that tapes up its signs on light poles. it would be "tech support", but what i'd really be doing is linux evangelism. i'm a proud member of the cult of linus, and i the need to spread his kernel.
Never knew about it. Mate, I love ya. This is gonna help so, sooo much. ;-; Until I switch to linux anyway.
What's stopping you from using Linux today? You could be on Linux in less than 10 minutes and most of that is going to be downloading the iso and flashing it on an USB stick.
I am, in fact, a lazy bastard that values his comfort. Nonetheless, wgen Win 10 hits the end of support, I plan on forcing myself to linux. Planning onon going to Nobara or...was it CachyOS?
Comfort is a big reason. But if you have a sacrificial used laptop and start familiarise yourself with it.
I started using Linux a few years ago, and from bottom of my heart advise you don't touch Arch (CachyOS) with a 10 feet pole. You need experience to differentiate bullshit solutions when you search forums. For example I just saw a thread saying you need to modify kernel modules if you want to change the touchpad sensitivity of a wireless keyboard.
I also advise you against Nobara, just use Fedora KDE. Because it's unofficially maintained often breaks or just bugs after large updates. As a novice It was easier for me just to reinstall than fix.
That's why I am very wary of CachyOS. Been on lemmy for some time now and amount of people saying to not touch Arch...heh.
But Nobara felt safe and right for my use case. Kinda sad it isn't so.
I am trying to install headless debian on old laptop for hosting right now and...I mean I tried to go with gui and laptop had so muc h lag it wasn't even funny. But again, me being lazy gets in the way. And me losing my only pendrive too.
I had switched over to Linux last year for the same concern of Win 10 reaching end of support. I wanted to switch over while I still had time to switch back (even if temporarily) of something went wrong.
I'd highly suggest start dual-booting or load Linux on an older system to get used to using it as a daily driver now rather than waiting until you don't have the same choice.
If you think you are techy or you think you're as smart as the average person (or smarter) just use cachyOS.
You will probably run into some issues but as long as you follow these rules you could be doing very well:
The two shall never meet.
Have an issue ? Wipe OS drive, in 2 minutes you'll be back in.
Worried about configurations? Linux is all about using files for config, this pattern allows you to save files and reconfigure systems fast on the fly.
Worried about something else? Ask me.
There's nothing wrong with using another distro.
Had a course on linux, can move somewhat fludily in console....well, could, prolly forgot a lot. Dunno about architecture or everything else linux-wise, but that's something I believe I can pick up during usage. Also thanks for the tip of separating OS drive and Media drive. Seems logical but uh, things happen.
Only thing that bothers me is I have older hardware and this coupled with communities here being overall cautious about Arch distros makes me kinda cautious about Cachy. But it seems like a good choice for my use-case. But I also have everything important backed up anyway so even if I install Cachy and it doesn't work for me, I will be able to switch efortlessly.
So, my CPU is supported, but my GPU is actually out of spec for recommended. GTX 750. Would you say to try it anyway or is it better to go Nobara due to that?
I say use a live USB and boot into it and see how it goes. Note that it will be slower than if you were to use a drive BUT you can sort out your worries about wine performance and such right away.
Mount windows drive, use steam to locate your games. Run them to test.
Note that this is not a long term strategy, you do not want to use NTFS (windows) drive to play games. But it shouldn't cause any issues in short term testing.
