PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)

Jump

  • Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!

    I don't have any problem job hunting on a Linux box. Why would that matter?

  • Your edge case is not indicative of a larger trend.

    • Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)

  • Which part didn't make sense?

  • I didn't interpret the original post as "What would a generic user consider necessary installs?" I interpreted it as "Could you suggest some software that you consider absolutely essential so that I could discover some that I might've overlooked?"

  • Brilliant.

    This is like somebody asking you what you want for breakfast, and you say "Food".

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • Manipulated, you say? With propaganda?

    Well, clearly this is a bridge too far! The Trump administration can never get away with this!

    • "This Linux thing is better than normal computers"

    Jump

  • I love this, because it's exactly the opposite of the received "wisdom" you'd get from many corners of the Internet. As long as you aren't mucking around the internals of a Linux install, it's going to be stable, and it will be adequate for common computing tasks. Arguably, even better than adequate.

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • Well, if they want to intimidate everybody who says anything anti-Trump...they're going to be very busy. What I'm worried about are leaders of movements.

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • You don't know what either of those words mean, do you.

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • It's funny how they're saying "You need to use Linux" and not "You need to get off Facebook". How's Linux going to save you from Facebook spying on you?

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • If you think this is new, you're very naive. They just have better tools to spy on you now.

    • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • Yeah, the government and corporations would never spy on us. What a ridiculous idea!

    • It's important to be clear

    Jump

  • So, you're saying that the KKK has an irrational hatred?

    • What was your first Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • Mandrake! It was a fucking disaster! Fortunately, I came back later using Kubuntu and had a much better experience.

    • Think twice next time.

    Jump

  • Plant milks.

    • Think twice next time.

    Jump

  • That depends. How many boys does it bring to the yard?

    • Think twice next time.

    Jump

  • Non-animal milks have been around for a long time.

    • Living my dream

    Jump

  • The point is that just because it's manipulative, that doesn't make it abuse.

    • Elon Musk's social platform X files lawsuit against Minnesota, challenging a law prohibiting the use of deepfakes to influence elections

    Jump

  • He lives in your head rent-free

    What a freeloader! He should pay up.

    • They're already abducting people in broad daylight

    Jump

  • Oh, it will blow over. Eventually. The question is how much of our country will be left at that point.
