Legend says he can identify the usable IP range before witnessing the subnet mask.

No, this is how we discovered fusion.

Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.

He used to be a straight up IT support style channel that had a bunch of useful information about troubleshooting and configuration.

Now it’s just “watch us build our 5,837th gaming PC from Wish.com!” He’s officially gotten to the point where he has more money than ideas.

If you ever go into the desktop to do anything at all I’d say you’re getting the Arch Linux experience.

Growing will also bring an increased attack surface and justification for writing malware for Linux due to market adoption.

It’s not all good, there is going to be an increased security vulnerability along with it.

Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.

It’s no wonder people around here care so much about random people’s opinions, the place practically filters for it.

I didn’t say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they’re certified professional IT.

All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that’s a good start but it’s somewhat like pretending you’re a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

Fabric friction creates static charge, so it would be worse.

Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.

1. Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.

2. Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they’re given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it’s the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they’re competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.

Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I’d wager most of them don’t even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.

Department of the Delta Quadrant?

Anti cheat is the biggest obstacle now, can’t overcome that and if you and your friends enjoy playing together on a game that doesn’t support it then you’re SoL. Unfortunately only 75% or so of the games my friend group plays are compatible.

They’d prefer to learn nothing, blame the OS for not looking and operating exactly like Linux, and then claim it sucks not for the reasons it sucks but because they can’t be bothered to try.

“Houston, we’ve got a bigger problem.”

As an IT guy, I hate everything about the OneDrive setup. Using it, dealing with users that have to use it, it’s a lot.

I like AD and the management interfaces, that’s about where Microsoft’s Enterprise offerings cease to be helpful to me.

How is a netbook good for his use case? I don’t think you could game on it unless you exclusively play Quake III.

As someone who’s only ever used GNOME and has a Nobara install, what would the transition be like and is it worth it to reimage my machine with a KDE N39 install?

Oh I haven’t installed 39 yet, 38 came with it out of the box.

Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?

Yeah cause that’s the only benefit 🙄
