    I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that's really REALLY valuable to me.

    I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

    I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there's bound to be a couple I don't understand but that's not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

    I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

    2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe πŸ€”

    It is not a kink. It's a hobby. For the vast majority, at least.

    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    I think I'm hopping to TempleOS. It's going to take more than Windows to save me from this.

    I remember it so clearly man... The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn't listen. They don't ever listen.

    I'll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

    I regularly fire up my windows XP box to play hearts and muck about in Codewarrior

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us "it's going to be zero day heaven!" they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    Excuse me? 🀨

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

    You need a squirrel army to start the uprising to eat the rich, obviously

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

    I'm sure they mean an elegant dinner party to honor them and not eating your extended family as a light snack before bedtime.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

    I think it would be wise to disconnect it from the internet, wifi and bluetooth; then it should be fine.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

    "downgrading" caught me off guard.

    I always imagine linux as a little hidden door to a speakeasy, but turns out to be narnia.

    Starts handing out the complementary cat ears, miniskirt, and programming socks to incoming Windoze users.

    Oh no! Linux transed my gender! Again! (I'm agender but that wouldn't be as funny)

    Debian ahoy!

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

    Already dual booting. Haven't used Linux since 2010 so it's been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven't booted into windows for about 2 months now and it's been great for gaming.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (15 children)

    Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    I've heard good things about Bazzite if that's an option for you.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

    I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn't Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can't wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Helldivers 2 is reported to work on Linux. IIRC the anti-cheat only requires kernel level access on Windows and runs in userspace on Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

    Interesting, I'll have to give it another try soon then. Thank you!

    you don't have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don't are probably because of anti cheat which won't be solved with steamOS.

    Valve is working on it.
