I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️
My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.
He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.
I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.
It's there, by default. You don't have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it's a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.
I've never met anyone who's changed the defaults, other than me, and I've been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)
Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I'll look it up, thanks!
You can add the setting to hibernate to the normal power menu and also make it automatically hibernate when they press the power button/close the lid etc. from somewhere in the power settings. So if they just press the power button or whatever you can make it automatically hibernate instead of dealing with trying to teach family a new thing lol.
Windows suspend is now hibernate, or something, or Poweroff with fastboot is hibernate. I forget. There was a time when their terms meant the thing it did, but they actually switched things around. If you need a full power off for hardware reasons its a restart, because power off doesn't do a true power off any more. Something to that effect
Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.
Great, thanks. But isn't she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn't know how to "hack" or "code" or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol...?
She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A "mouse" is overrated, I haven't used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing
Gaming on linux is surprisingly good right now. Other than those games that require kernel level anti-cheats, most games work really well.
.... But in case it wasn't clear, the user suggesting linux from scratch is joking. Use Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you're starting your linux journey. Try it on a virtual machine, for instance.
I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.
That is just one person with their hands woven together. You can see the part of the hand coming out of the sleeve of the white coat of the other person the CPR person is next to.
What concerns me more is how she went from CPR to being on a CPAP sleep apnea machine in Panel 4.

How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.
cRazi_man@europe.pub · 6 pts · 1y
Dangerous move. What if they adopt Linux? You're then obliged to become Mormon.
peacepath@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !
Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want...

I don't think you can fork Mormonism.

Tbf aren’t most Christian religions forks? Of original Catholicism, which itself is a fork of Judaism?
peacepath@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
If you can't fork it, you would better work on an other existing project that you can fork ; or start an other one from scratch...
And (optionally) call back the mormons every 15 minutes so they join yours...
