I use uefi to change boot order between openSUSE and holoiso 👍
Just accept the winning side.
So, mind-skipper in that you forgot to pick one up when they were being handed out?
This is bait right? It HAS to be…surely.
No. I am not joking.
You are the whole joke I’m afraid.
This is for you, good sir.
What Windows? I got Debian, and some shit that tests my memory.
Your memory or your computer’s memory? Huge difference.
“I forgot”
Doesn’t seem to work…
Takes gazillion years to boot
That just doesn’t happen to me.
I use rEFInd.
That also doesn’t happen to me.
The last time I had Windows installed anywhere was around 15 years ago.
I’m not into programming, and I’m an LGBTQIA Ally. Just genuinely curious. Are 90% of Linux users really young white femboys with anime body pillows? Or is Lemmy just a heavily skewed demographic?
No, but I find it funny, so I am willing to propagate that myth. We are also all furries, you forgot that part.
To extend your statistical research I’m a GNU/LINUX. user, i have never watched an anime, I’m white, extremely racist and a lgbtqia hater.
I hate that I had to check your history to see if you were joking
judging by lots of comments in [email protected] I’m going yes
Dual booters are fem-boys with anime body pillows.
Those brave enough to take the full plunge and single boot Linux are fem-men with anime body pillows.
No… The true Linux users are white, mid-40 men who only use Arch Linux on an old Thinkpad and who will comment “I use Arch BTW” under a video with a random dog eating a ball just to prove that the dog should use Arch as well, because it is objectively better than anything else.
Yeah, that’s what I said. Fem-men with anime body pillows.
I use Arch BTW
You just made my day better, I had to laugh. Thank you ;)
It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.
I think only 60% linux users know how to program
Or at least are very friendly with the terminal and know all sorts of scripting languages… which is not that far from programming either.
It’s just Lemmy!
Heavily skewed demographic IMO. LGBTQ+ supportive liberals is what makes most of it, but I would bet that there are republican IT workers out there (or rightists, in general, if not from the US) or users that maybe like most of what the right has to offer, just don’t agree with everything all the way, like let’s say libre software.
And I stole the meme, I wouldn’t have used that image for the meme, I’m in no way into anime 😂. Sure, Akira and legendary stuff like that, but that’s just a really good movie TBH, it doesn’t matter if it’s anime or not.
LGBT people are over-represented in IT, as it is less judgemental of such things compared to many other professions. Also, people who had to hide their identity, or question it, or read more about such hard to access topics, probably learned how to use the internet, and may have even developed an interest in fields like privacy and digital equality.
As for anime, Japan (and China, Korea etc.) are major electronics manufacturers and designers, so their culture has influenced the internet, and particularly the more nerdy parts of it.
But there are plenty of people with very different political views in the Linux community, from RMS’s infocommunism to Eric Raymond’s right-libertarianism.
My impression of linuxmemes (what’s the lemmy word for subreddit?) is mostly that it feels like the regular posters don’t use Linux. Either that, or it is automated and reposting stuff from 10-20 years ago that isn’t very accurate or relevant.
We call the comms, short for communities 😉.
these comments always remind me how small the amount of my peers here probably is. i wonder how many other lemmy users have cooked crack
✌️… not proud of it though… and it was heroin, not crack.
Not so young anymore (🥲), not a femboy and no body pillows here. Been using Linux for almost 20 years now. More than 10 exclusivly Linux.
The young, single, femboys just has more time to creat more memes.
Ahh it’s the Java laptop.
Just pray to God you didn’t pick “Windows Boot Repair” or you’re going to spend a while recovering your partition labels…
Not an issue, I still use MBR boot.
I hear you.
The first time WBR killed my partition labels, it was before I could even properly restart. I removed the GRUB entry after that mess, once I repaired their labeling; but at least at the time, it would come back after every GRUB update. Later I just moved Windows to its own hard drive and left it there.
Now I don’t even feel the need to bother with it at all.
same thing happens to me but with temple os
You don’t sound so bad for pushing 120!
No issue here. If I make a mistake in grub, I end up in memtest.
You can quite easily set grub to remember the last picked option
That is not the problem. It’s whether I wanted to pick Windows or Linux in this reboot that’s the issue.

Ah old days… I used to boot into Windows 10 just for gaming but when Valve’s Proton matured to the point that all my games could work on Linux I very happily nuked it out of existence. But yeah if someone plays Fortnite or needs Adobe products then you still can’t do much unfortunately.
Only problem is gamepass
I only played via Steam so I wouldn’t know. I hear it’s a good deal, but I’ve made it a point to not accept such good deals from BigTech. Have gotten screwed over too many times. Remember when Google Photos allowed unlimited storage?
Then piracy it will be. For now it’s more convenient than piracy.
I don’t do either, but I still need Windows. Some software just needs native communication with hardware devices and wine is still not there yet.
That’s what virtualization is for.
You can’t have native SATA support with virtualization… at least not that I’m aware of… and I need that.
Doesn’t that trip anticheats?
This isn’t a real solution, but I’ve run it fine through Amazon on Chrome while using Linux.
you don’t have it default to linux…?
I do, but I sometimes need Windows and I get confused when rebooting “was I supposed to use Windows or Linux now 🤔”.
lol happens to me too ><
The struggle is real 😂.
Is her wall made out of glass?
'Murican walls. Made of paper, glue, and chalk.
