And update and shutdown actually reboots your system in the end anyway. This shit drives me crazy whenever I need to use Windows.
Matriks404@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Dualboot_irl (Art by 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚆𝚘𝚕𝚏𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚐𝚘𝚗)20·11 days agoThere’s no way Windows would just access non-readable partition, and do anything with it, let alone delete it. No operating system does this.
Replacing the bootloader is of course much more likely, but the general rule is that if you can manage to install Linux, you probably can follow basic instructions to fix GRUB or whatever your bootloader is.
Matriks404@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•System requirements for me and not for thee6·15 days agoI got surprised like two days ago when I got a desktop notification that Linux kernel killed a process, because there was no memory available, or something like that. I didn’t know it can do that, lol.

If I only knew in high school that I learn better and much quicker on my own…
I am not going to say Linux is a perfect operating system (it isn’t), but if your hardware is well supported AND you don’t do anything more than browsing the internet or other usual home user tasks (managing family photos, playing media, printing documents) it just works as long as you’re using sensible distribution like Linux Mint.
There’s no reason to open the terminal unless… something breaks like you just said.
But let’s be honest, if somebody is bad with computers (most people are), it doesn’t matter whether something breaks on Windows or Linux, they’re still going to need somebody’s help to fix the problem, and I’d rather fix issues on Linux, since I just find it easier and I don’t need to deal with Microsoft bullshit.
I have no idea, ask Microsoft employees.
I don’t plan to do LASIK, unless:
-
I am not able to put my glasses on;
-
When my glasses break, I am not able to go outside and drive by bus to the nearest glasses repair shop.

You never have issues with OneDrive unless you accidentally forget to remove it. People lose files because of this shit.
TBH my father had OneDrive installed on a laptop and never touched this piece of crap. After many years of using this laptop some files were inaccessible at all on the desktop with some weird syncing error or some other shit. His files were lost despite of not doing anything unusual.
Fuck Microsoft and their unusable piece of crap operating system.

Matriks404@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness'English0·28 days agoI know at least few Russian-speaking people where I live (Kraków) who tried to convert me to their church. One Uber (or Bolt idk) driver, when I told him that I am interested in practicing Russian and Ukrainian wanted me to come to some church to read a Bible or something, and other time one friend of mine wanted me to come to (I think) Orthodox church to meet some women or something like that.
I think I make an error, when I tell people I am agnostic, it’s like a sign for other people to try convert me, and I don’t really want to argue with them.
I think at least few years ago it was much better for laptops if you cared about your laptop’s battery life (on Windows). Not sure how it’s nowadays, or if it works the same way on Linux.
I think in the end, if you need Chromium-based browser and want something that is supported by bigger corporation for some reason, you need to decide which company you hate more and use competitor’s product.
Yeah, let’s use whole different shell, because you can’t add some few aliases to your
.bashrc
.
alias cd..='cd ..' alias cd...='cd ../..' alias cd....='cd ../../.. alias cd.....='cd ../../../..'
I could understand gold, but where the hell do you see white on this picture?
