I have no idea what any of those words mean and that makes me want to stick to Windows.
Prisoner of Vore? Seems kinda hot

Linux@lemmy.ml•For my mom the year of the Linux desktop it's already overEnglish
92·7 months agoHow the heck is mom supposed to know what an fstab is?
Yeah I admit I kind of prefer the Gimp site. Are you saying Lemmy isn’t an accurate random sample of normal people in reality?
So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated
If I can’t download it, and the site says the latest version is 2.10.38, is it really released?
And my crack

Linux@programming.dev•Am in the only one who cringes at install instructions that require piping some curl output into bash?English
3·11 months agoWhat does curl even do? Unstraighten? Seems like any other command I’d blindly paste from an internet thread into a terminal window to try to get something on Linux to work.
Or, you DO find it, but it’s glitchy/outdated (I think there was an issue with Steam). Or you search for the program, find the website, download a .tar.gz, wonder what the hell is this double extension abomination, double click it, doesn’t work, look it up, apparently it’s a type of container like a zip and not a basic program like an exe and instead of using the GUI like a normal person you have to type “tar -xcv” or something that might as well be black magic (I can’t even remember the correct letters), then to actually install you have to find the magic “make” “sudo make install” command, and it still fails.
Much easier to double click the .exe, accept the license agreement, and hit continue a few times.
You don’t have to get rid of all the stuff, it doesn’t break the system like missing sounds or whatnot. Some of its even helpful like weather and news. Plus it isn’t that hard to make a Microsoft account, don’t you need one anyway for Minecraft? And since when do you need drivers for an SSD, don’t those usually work out of the box?
Not for buying new DSiware games?
I hope they didn’t close their account two years ago!
That’s why the Java programmer looks happier in the “after” pic. Not as much as Python but it’s still there.
Isn’t Linus pretty famous for his tech tips YouTube channel?

Linux@lemmy.ml•GIMP 2.10.38 Released with Much-Requested Backports of GTK3 FeaturesEnglish
2·2 years agoWait what’s the point of backporting to GTK2 then? And why should I as an end user care? Will it make the UI nicer?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux continues to be above 4% on the desktopEnglish
1·2 years agoEpic is developing Hyperspace for Mac, as well as “standalone” (access Hyperspace in a web browser). Plus many hospitals use Citrix virtualization, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Linux is theoretically possible (though unlikely due to jankiness).
How would they be able to do that if they were already out of the country? Or is it something that “everyone” should set up?
They specifically said they didn’t want that though.




I thought Linux was supposed to be easy to use and that implies not needing to use a terminal?
