The thing is, they are probably not asleep during supposed bedtime, maybe even the opposite – feel very fresh and active.

Maybe he was abusing at home

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I use Ubuntu btw

I’d personally add Slice & Dice to this list. Probably the only mobile game I like all around (though I’m big PC fan first).

You know what?

You lost The Game.

Man I’ve seen title, assumed 196 and thought “fuck those non-descriptive titles, especially to random link, wtf”. And then I check comments and this is not even 196, what in the actual hell whyyyyyyyy. Not even the shitpost community

Wait but hear me out. Imagine big genius scenario where you intentionally order something else counting on waitress getting it wrong so you end up getting exactly what you [secretly] wanted. Outsmarted outsmarting

My story I guess.

For a long time (until end of 2023) I used ahoy Win7 on cheap 2012 laptop (2-core 1500 MHz 6GB RAM), and influenced by mentions of Linux efficiency tried dualboot installing Arch, Manjaro, Ubuntu, maybe even Mint. Also much earlier (maybe 2009?) couple of times tried Puppy Linux on CD my dad gave me a long time ago. Ubuntu stuck, and sometimes I primarily used it, returning to Win to games (my major use case for PC). So when I finally built an actual PC I was already familiar enough to try and actually commit and install Ubuntu as sole OS. And it kinda just worked. Probably important thing is CPU and GPU used are both AMD.

Yes there are some quirks, some bugs (i.e. sometimes frozen apps in Wayland lock whole system, or still don’t know how to get screen recording to work properly), also that snap drama I don’t understand, also trying to use some things from Windows through Wine is pain in the ass and a huge timesink (and no guarantee it’ll eventually work), specifically modding software for Win-only games. But generally, thanks to Wine and Proton, and probably also more attention of gamedevs to Linux userbase, my gaming needs are covered.

Also I joined Lemmy during big Spez drama, so I’ve had general influence of “another example of Win enshittification”.

Also my sister has Win10 laptop, and I really don’t like some things like integrated in start menu internet search, or clusterfuck the Control Panel (where are all settings should be) has become.

A lot of ‘Also’ here, sorry.

Holy hell!

Holy hell you are right, just revatched it rn and got really fkn scared Thanks for a laugh

Sorry to tell you, preview gives it away 😥
