Similarly, AMD had a couple of anime girl mascots for Zen/Ryzen.

My comfort food is charcoal

A lot of people are really good at justifying the problems by completely missing the point as well. i.e people going “Oh you can just disable/hide/remove xyz” when the issue is that xyz shouldn’t be there at all or be opt in, rather than opt out.

Then there’s the people that listen to these justifications without a second thought or even parroting them, giving them extra legitimacy to other people that come across these takes.

You don’t know me!

Most people that complain about GIMP don’t actually know that.

Got to love it when people think they’re making a statement when they’re really just exposing themselves.

Merging layers? There’s a button on the layer window that does just that. You can also right click -> merge.

Exporting PNGs? File -> Export -> File Type at bottom of the window -> PNG

Not that hard unless you’re somehow incredibly inept.

1. Not really a lot of cases. It only appears that way because the terminal is just efficient so people generally tend to use it over the alternative. Very rarely, if at all, would the average user need to use the terminal at this point. Assuming the end user isn’t using a more advanced distro like Arch or Gentoo.

2. There’s plenty of ways to achieve that. It largely depends on the desktop env. But the most common ones make it very easy. Though their settings.

3. Sounds like the end users problem more than Linux’s problem. They don’t have to use the terminal. But a lot of FUD around the subject makes it out like there’s a requirement to use it.

4. How common is this issue? Package managers handle dependencies automatically so you don’t have issues with needing to install X to install Y to install Z. You just install Z. X and Y are pulled in automatically.

5. Again that’s the end users issue if they’re incapable of figuring out how to search their issue or how to decide which source is useful to them or not. Installing MC is painfully easy on just about any distro. Just install prism launcher. Every distro should be able to run Minecraft because the game is written in Java. Java’s whole thing is that its code is portable/not platform specific.

6. Yeah that’s an issue. It should be better than it is. But it’s also not too hard to handle.

More like “Forced-AI”

How many times do they have to keep trying to force AI to become a thing before they realise that there’s not much of a consumer market for it?

Gee I wonder why the bloke with a very vested interest in seeing AI take off would make claims that AI will be super duper good you guys in the near future.

Only because exiting vim is still long lost knowledge.

At least you don’t have to pay for the next LTS version of ubuntu. Nor do you have to meet daft hardware requirements to upgrade to the next LTS. You can just seamlessly upgrade to the next LTS version.

Unlike Windows.

They just want to shout about them while ignoring paid support for extended life Linux.

Ironically, you’re just shouting about linux while ignoring the context behind the paid support for “extended life linux”

The paid support is for enterprise linux distros like Red Hat. This support is aimed at businesses. Not regular end users.

Regular users can get Long Term Support (LTS) versions of regular distros entirely free. Such as Ubuntu’s LTS versions. With the cool addition of being able to freely move to the next LTS version whenever that comes out to replace the current LTS version.

Except thats not how discussions work.

People dont JUST strictly talk about the thing at hand and ONLY that. They bring up related things as well. Like Linux and how its an alternative to Windows 10 once it’s support period is up.

Kind of like how someone might bring up the SNES in a discussion about the PS5 to make some kind of relevant point. Like how far consoles have come from the SNES to the PS5 or a game library comparison. Or something.

Fact is there’s a lot of overlap in lemmy users and linux users. So youre going to see a lot of Linux talk.

So you’re welcome to go somewhere else if you just can’t handle Linux talk.

Yeah

Arch should be a megaphone so they can broadcast “I use Arch BTW” to all.

He did.
