Are cops actually using the OS though, or is it just what their proprietary policing software runs on now? Last time I was in a cop shop in the UK they all seemed to be working through the same full screen interface, so the OS seemed irrelevant.
Is you attention span limited to your immediate surroundings? Do you think your home unaffected by geopolitics? You chose to stay ignorant.
These kinda comments always fuck with me. Were you not paying attention? Is this some sort of pride in not paying attention? I’m 35 and noticed it was happening while I was in high school, why did it take you until a year or two ago to notice what was happening the entire time?
See, you’re so deep in the sauce you’ve lost all perspective; A normal user isn’t getting as far as “type this incantation” - the one they won’t remember and will have to look up each time - because they’re going to give you a blank look when you tell them to open the terminal. I know this because I work with regular users ever day and get blank looks for much simpler questions.
windows users hate its forced updates fuckery
No, windows users hate the constant restarting for updates, if it all happened in the background they wouldn’t even notice. Just look at Mint.
Only thing anyone cares about is they know how to use it
They don’t even remember it, never mind know how to use it. That’s the whole point.
human language is not maths, any text can be understood very differently depending on a number of things
This is sophistic and stupid, humans don’t speak maths and “apt update -U” isn’t maths either. If you’re so desperate you’re reaching for “words don’t mean anything akshully” you already know you’re wrong.
give me more insights about my life
You are not a user, you are a power user like me and everyone else in this thread. Regular users don’t go online to discuss their OS. It’s the height of narcissism to think you’re the person being talked about here.
This thread is highlighting exactly why windows users think Linux is unusable - apt, pacman etc are all commands that require a minimal understanding of the terminal, and the average person does not have that. The answer isn’t “learn in your own time”, because that simply isn’t going to happen - they have no interest in the internals, how things work, they just want the end product.
Regular users just want it to update itself in the background or have a nice obvious “system update” button like Mint. The only thing they understand about “apt upgrade -u” is the word ‘upgrade’ - the rest might as well be ancient sumerian to them. Even remembering the short phrase is infinitely more complex than pressing a clearly labelled button. You will never convert a single user by trying to convince them to use any form of CLI over a GUI.
I might be a commie, a criminal, and a pornstar, but I am NOT a cheater.
most are just a series of cliches and can only express themselves in cliches because they have never had a critical or original thought in their entire life.

The fix is so terrible that it comes with a warning only to do it if you’re absolutely sure you understand what you’re doing, along with the warning that I only know for certain that it works on a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU - it may work for other CPUs but I have no way to test that. It’s a fix I saw posted and ignored because, as the admin replied before locking said thread, it’s dangerous and there’s no reason it would actually work, but eventually independently found myself at: overvolt your CPU. Very carefully, just by a little bit. I don’t understand why it works, just that it fixed the regular crashes I had in Clair Obscur, Helldivers, and Palworld, and some of the crashes in Romeo Is A Dead Man (the latter also has other crashes related to the GPU). By all rights it shouldn’t work and suggests some very weird behaviour from UE5, but somehow it did. It comes with the side effects of needing really good cooling and potentially shortening the CPU’s lifespan, so it’s imperative you look for alternative solutions that aren’t stupid and dangerous first.
Just palworld or UE5 games in general? Because I found a fix for that but it’s terrible and I hate it.
I knew someone who used 2 spaces as their password (macos) which made me pretty mad because it’s weak as hell but it’s still unlikely anyone would guess it.
I tried it because even with most of the bloat disabled Microsoft still kept threatening to downgrade me to windows 11, so having heard most games were working through proton and knowing gimp and Firefox run natively I figured it was worth giving it a try.
I stayed because with KDE it feels like an “unlocked” windows, windows with all the annoying parts stripped out, delimited, or fixed. Installing it was simple, customising it was extensive and easy, games run better, GIMP loads faster, installing programs from the bazaar is trivial, and it doesn’t run into any more bugs and errors than windows did, so it’s just a net upgrade. Weirdly bugs are often easier to diagnose and fix with the help of a search engine too, because the questions and answers tend to be a lot more in depth and informative than you get with windows.
Not a particularly bad place to stop, I got a few hours in, stopped, then when I picked it back up I realised I’d basically stopped right before the story kicks in and was hooked for the rest.
As the other user said, get Mint Cinnamon on a USB. I moved to Linux last year (now on Bazzite KDE) and it wasn’t the leap I expected, more just a small shuffle. Everything is roughly where you expect it to be and works how you expect it to, but like actually where you’d expect and working how you expect. Like if Windows 10 had been designed just for usability without corporate interests clogging everything up. The only reason it may take a while to customise to your liking is that you can customise far, far more of it straight out of the box.
I think it’s limited on the cores it runs on or something - mine chugs on big maps with lots of water without going over 30%, which would be 4 cores running at full.
It looks like funny number, but it’s actually The Game. Funny numbers reference something, The Games are self referential.
Yeah, not to disparage his hard work organising beforehand and 2 years in prison (so far), but ultimately all he did was park really badly. At most he should be getting a few points on his license.
Aww man, I got

You misunderstand me - are the police actually using the desktop environment, clicking menus and launching programs, or is the OS just a vehicle for them to run one program that covers all their tasks and duties? Because the commenter’s point was that people who are actually using the DE hate change, so your example will be irrelevant if the cops aren’t actually using the DE.
