  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

    Ah, shit, TempleOS.

    Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

    Plot twist it was really clonezilla.

    I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

    Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

    People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

    I might have to give that one a try.

    My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.

    [–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world -2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

    Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.

    [–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

    Must be one of those super obscure meme distros.

    [–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    You can't be serious, can you?

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

    Pretty sure that's a joke, Lemmy's in love with Mint.

    [–] Vrases@lemmy.world -4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    I couldn't pick red if I wanted. Something happened with the USB when I flashed it and most of its space was unusable so I could use linux. And the fact I can't use games with anti- cheat, I don't know if that changed though

    [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    You can play most games with AC. There's only a handful that don't work. Kernel-level AC, for example, obviously won't work if they don't release a Linux version (which you should probably avoid installing). There's also some Chinese games with their own AC that isn't supported yet, and that's a choice they've made.

    Game pass cloud works in a browser on linux too.

    Talk to your kids about Linux before someone else does.

    Hi I'm some mf

    Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

    I know, they won't, but I'm gonna keep asking anyway

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 10 hours ago

    That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!

    [–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 62 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

    Ubuntu logo is a trinity but you're not getting laid

    The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

    L4L, must have showered and touched grass within the last 24 hours.

    Dude, you're getting a dell ...

    [–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

    Bruh dell maintains dkms in linux (kernel driver management thingy)

    [–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 52 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

    And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 33 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 28 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

    The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

    And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

    I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜

    [–] Fish@midwest.social 40 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    Why are both of the USB drives red?

    [–] DmMacniel 79 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

    Because choice is an illusion.

    [–] SirHery@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago

    Both are Linux.
