I hope not. I’m not ready for the year of the BSD desktop.

For some reason, it didn’t work on OpenBSD. I couldn’t install the file sets until I wrote the image to the flash drive normally.

I got interested in Linux in college since it’s used a bunch in physics. I even tried it a bit on my personal laptop. Fast forward to the steam deck releasing and windows just getting worse and worse, I decided to go for it. So far it fulfills all my needs on a home PC. It did require some fiddling to make it work, but now the fiddling and troubleshooting are very minimal and occasional.

I was prepared for it (relatively speaking lol) because I had used it before. I did hop between distros for a bit as well before finally settling on Pop! OS since it’s Ubuntu based, and the support on forums for Ubuntu issues is ubiquitous. I do kind of miss open SUSE sometimes though.

AmogOS will sue them to oblivion.

It has its uses, but it’s not exactly something you run into while knowing IMO. I’ve heard of molybdenum disulfide, a type of dry lubricant.

I’m just hearing about them now. Do they make really tiny software or something?

Until you encounter some weird glitch that needs to be fixed using the terminal. It happens maybe once every couple of months for me, but it still happens. Even so, I’m considering switching fully after windows 10 goes EOL.

Ohhh man I wasn’t ready for how nostalgic the screenshots would make me feel. My friend from school told me about Ubuntu and OSS for the first time, and he came over to my house so we could mess around with the live CD. That’s what Ubuntu looked like back then!

Yeah I’m skeptical. Having installed windows on a machine that I put together about a year ago, it was pretty straightforward. Yeah I needed to install the drivers, but that didn’t take long. Maybe windows 11 is much more tortured than 10 though, which is what I installed.

Can anyone give a layman an explanation as to what makes software like this unmaintained? It seems like it should be fine if it works and is still getting updates.

They could even bring back the Zune branding if they finally do it. It’d almost be poetic.

It’s a bit out there, but I see why he does it. It is a shame that the media has sunk to such lows.

Oh my God! Someone call the police!

He doesn’t want to let us use his comment for commercial purposes, which is a shame. I don’t know how I’m going to pay for dinner now.

My interest started in my physics classes. They teach you the basics of Linux since it gets used for simulations and solving other math problems as well. I’m not 100% sure why, but i remember not even finding windows versions of some software that we used. I think it’s connected to supercomputers almost exclusively running Linux, and I had a couple of professors that use them.

What if I enjoy ruining other people’s fun?

I don’t hate it. I feel like the goofy smile makes it just distinguishable enough to stick out from all the other minimalist logos.

I don’t feel like they’re inherently bad, but they’ve become so popular that they all feel like they’re blending together. I think it’s kind of stale at this point.

Aliyaut’s logo? It is clean, but it’s hardly even identifiable as a gecko. It blends in too much with all the modern corporate logos we have today IMHO. It’s not a bad choice if they decide to go with it, but they could do better.

If windows gets sufficiently annoying (I think MS is giving it a good try), I may switch over to Linux for my main machine. I think that will be the main appeal for most users if Linux will ever have a large portion of the market share.
