Right? Like if this exists, what’s their draw for users to use the dogshit version?

Yup. And that’s exactly what I do. If the zooming gets annoying, I just close reddit for the time.

looks like old.reddit.com still works.

They’re simply stupider than you thought. They buy into hype so fast without really listening to the experts already on the team.

I think it’ll strongly depend on how intrusive it ends up being.

Honestly just funny to see. It makes perfect sense, based on how they made the site hostile to users.

Regardless, that is a friction they experienced when switching, regardless of who was at fault.

Honestly, I think some of them have simply been off windows so long that they only know issues they’ve seen in the news, and not used the relatively smooth experience you get. Like, I swapped to Linux not too long ago. Windows was MOSTLY easier to use, but it was getting to invasive for my tastes.

If you find Linux easier to use day-to-day, you’re either A) much better than the average person at getting an intuition for all the options and controls B) doing something fairly uncommon where windows just falls short C) simply so used to Linux over Windows that you have a better intuition on how to handle Linux

And, like, sure there are specific tasks where one OS is just going to grant a smoother experience, but if we’re talking most general usage, Windows will be such a smooth use for the average user.

I remember when Russia cut itself off from the internet for like 3 days, and virtually every social media site I frequented was a lot calmer and nicer for those days. It was surreal seeing how fucking much of the internet is just Russia.

That change was actually really sad to see. Conspiracy used to actually have some fun conspiracies, even if most were ultimately a bit too outlandish or unprovable. Now it’s just your standard deep-state conspiracy shit.

We change our vocal intonation when delivering it verbally to help make it obvious. Text lacks those subtleties, so it needs a more direct signifier.

What does Cinnamon have that makes you like it over something like KDE?

For real. It’s wild how often people don’t just straight up call out bad corps.

Kind of a weird title. Of course adoption would slow? The people who want it have adopted it, the people who don’t haven’t.

old.reddit.com. Anything that doesn’t work on that or is to cumbersome to use on that is not worth engaging in.

It’s a joke on how “les autres” looks.

Yeah, I’m not surprised by it, but it’s still a bummer/roadblock.

Yeah if you have your games on Steam it seems to (mostly) just work. Other services get a bit more janky. Xbox App is, sadly, impossible as far as I can tell.

Honestly, using Linux Mint lately and it’s been far smoother than my previous linux attempts. Granted, there’s much better tech today to help, but yeah it’s been nice. My only sadness is not getting my singular Xbox App game playable on linux.

What’s made Arch better for you?
