breaking kayfabe for a moment OSes are tools and you use what works for you

and Linux desktop environments never worked for anybody lol

this is how linux people talk about windows btw

it's funny to watch linux struggle in 2025 with issues windows solved in 95

i just think the same people with a lust for the command line and a disdain for the newfangled mouse and graphics adapter should not be allowed to push their half-baked desktop environments upon others

i'm not anti Linux. i love Linux. even some of my servers are Linux

i'm convinced people who don't have daily issues caused by using Linux are only ever using the web browser and nothing else

#linux is worse than #windows in every regard

the main two problems in computing are off by one errors and dns. unless you use linux in which case you get a third problem no other operating system has invented yet which is denying you file permissions even if all chown and chmods are perfectly correct just to piss you off

steve jobs' open letter on flash is to computers what "reagan elected president" is as a temporal data point in socioeconomical graphs

sometime after steve jobs killed flash computing as a whole lost all its whimsy

when is the last time you've seen a funny screensaver

ludonarrative pissonance or whatever

it's a little funny to me how certain people will with the same breath demonize windows because "the NT kernel is evil" and also say that ARM and RISC-V will never be serious competitors to x86

begging for photoshop tutorials that are not videos

society if drawing programs allowed you to undo strokes, create a new layer and then redo those strokes

i search for a way to list all programs that currently have indicator applets registered. i get no relevant results. i conclude there is not one person in the world who knows exactly how desktop linux fully works

i press prtsc. flameshot comes up and lets me crop the area i want to screen shot. this is a good thing. there is now a flameshot indicator applet where there wasn't before. this is ok. the muted volume indicator applet has changed from gray to red and become off-center. this is perplexing

linux is a very good operating system for a headless server that turns into a very bad operating system once you plug a monitor into it and install a desktop environment
