Congratulations. One of us, one of us, one of us.

Glad you decided to give it a try. It really shines on older hardware and really shows how much bloat windows actually has. I've been using Linux since the 90s, it's incredible how far it's come. Show us your socks. Especially in relation to gaming in the last few years, there's almost no reason to deal with microsoft any longer!

Welcome to Linux, here's your thigh highs. We expect a post on UnixSocks soon.

Finally a good use of bullying.

The system works

Now its time to convince Stamets to switch, too. Pray that he will not kill me 🙏

Congrats tho, which distro did you choose?

I find this funny because I've been aware of, and even using, Linux for a lot longer than I have been using Lemmy (or Lemmy or even ActivityPub has even existed). Are many people really becoming more aware of Linux because they are moving from Reddit to Lemmy and then noticing people talking about Linux here?

That image reminds me of this album art

ONE OF US!!! ONE OF US!!! ONE OF US!!!

I mostly use Linux but I dual-boot windows just for VR and every time I have to use windows it feels sluggish in comparison

One of us! One of us!

Why couldn't it have been heroin

What distro/DE? I was also surprised with the snappiness! You use Windows/Mac on modern hardware for so long and think it's the best it can be, but nope!

My biggest hangup (so far) is modding games.

Nexus is built for Windows. CDPR's RedMod is too.

It's probably not that big a deal. I'm just shit at all this stuff. I'm not a coder. I don't even know what the fuck sudo means. But I have a very loose grasp on using it. With a moderate amount of help from the internet. Usually.

This weekend, I gave my girlfriend's dad a nice computer with Linux mint installed. I put a shortcut to windows 11 setup to run in virtualbox, in case there were things that he felt he needed windows for (to spare him the frustration of needing to tinker too much if he didn't want to).

Down with Microsoft spyware.

Peer pressure++

so when do you start hrt?

Is switching to linux now a now type of Picard maneuver?

Welcome aboard!

Linux has it's tradeoffs, you must accept that sometimes, in some cases, you may get somewhat inconvenienced, but in exchange, your computer is truly yours now, with time you learn to deeply appreciate that, also, people who develop desktop, usually want to do it so people who are normal, can use it, I'm not a technical person and have never had a problem I couldn't fix, you just need to keep trying!... or find your way around it, contrary to popular beliefs, a big chunk of the Linux community is eager to help new people, for sure there are people who are elitists and gatekeepers, but are a loud, obnoxious minority.

Enjoy Linux!
