People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed
pillsdrives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.Aw did your mum buy you a Dell for doing well at school? 😂
Dells are reliable and high quality machines, sure they’re no Thinkpads but some of them are business quality and they’re all better then HP or Asus
Latitudes and then XPS are the business-class, I think. I have a couple XPS Studios that have long outlived their usefulness. Integrated video, that’s why they survived the bad BGA era. ;)
Do you get laid by being an asshole on the internet?
Wow, why do you feel the need to be rude about it.
I’m not a fan of Dell either, but it beats many other brands. Especially if it’s a business machine.
*only if it’s a business machine as far as I know. A friend who’s working for a company selling those B2B keeps telling me how often they get XPS returned, apparently modern variants just keep failing. Latitudes on the other hand seem almost indestructible.
Talk to your kids about Linux before someone else does.

Good luck with fighting dependency hell!
Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.
We are not the same.
Dude, you’re getting a dell …
What’s wrong with dell?
same thing that’s wrong with every brand name.
Man, I thought the dude did something really bad but he just got accused of buying weed imagine getting cancelled over an accusation
And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it…
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!
Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.
Although I formatted the hard drive and sold the PC to a secondhand electronic shop, that PC is still part of the 5G Vax botnet today.
That PC has Remote Vax™ Technology to Vaxxxxxxxxxxxx your kids
RFK will stop it
They see photos of childhood polio and say “look what they took from us“
At some point there was a trend where people were putting usb sticks into walls and encouraging people to plug in to them.
And Ubuntu at best.
I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜
Don’t call it penguin hole 💀💀💀💀💀

Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu ™
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I’ve got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.
I’ve never used Ubuntu and I don’t have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you’d probably want to avoid them if it’s convenient to do so, all else being equal.
I might have to give that one a try.
My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.
I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.
Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.
Pop_OS is actually quite popular.
I’ve heard of that.
Must be one of those super obscure meme distros.
You can’t be serious, can you?
Pretty sure that’s a joke, Lemmy’s in love with Mint.
“How come my typing fingers hurt?”
“you’ve never used them before.”
Fingering the rabbit hole?
That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it’s just red USB.
How did that happen?
Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.
I’ve heard of being blocked from a specific service like Xbox Live but never the whole of Microsoft. How would people get Windows updates? It’s crazy.
It’s not all of Microsoft, you just can’t download ISOs from their website.
You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.Plot twist it was really clonezilla.
Ah, shit, TempleOS.
Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it’s just a few MB.
I look at the cool elephant whenever I’m feeling down
How come with bsd it’s more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?
It’s the price of stability™
But when he took the red pill he was relegated to eating a bowl of snot as his only food and living in a hellscape and had to fight a never-ending war whilst still having to regularly go back in to the matrix he was supposedly escaping. I mean I guess, great, for humanity but it doesn’t make picking Linux sound like a great time if you’re going to use that analogy.
“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
