Also windows: “lets make menus that pop up and wont go away if you hover near the button!”
This feature I especially hate.
Windows: Clean boot no bullshit software, nothing running: 4GB RAM allocated.
Is that all processes or is that kernal reserved RAM? (which could be for cached writes, open file cache, etc…)

Nothing’s really stopping you from revisiting Glorious XP (maybe a compatible computer, but if you have an old one you could always fire it up for some good nostalgia).
And yet most people choose Windows.
You guys will never ever understand and you’ll be on your death bed screaming Linux DE is just fine and totally just as easy to use.
Man, this is the kind of “Linux” meme I wanted to get away from when moving away from Reddit.
Can we please instead make memes that don’t just boil down to “Windows bad”?
I don’t how correct am I, but I’ve noticed that a lot of meme communities on Lemmy have very radical heavily opinionated users.
The other day I commented on a meme saying that schools should include education related to real life formal work. For some reason I got downvoted for saying that. A lot of the comments were antigovernment and things like government wants to keep tax system complex so they can take advantage of people through fines.
That is just disappointing to be honest that they removed about not learning irl formal work, but don’t want schools to teach them at the same time. I just don’t understand.
I think it’s more that there needs to be more people posting. Of course 1 person is going to seem radicalized when they’re the only one posting topics they care about.
Like all 3 of the linuxmeme posts that just popped up - they’re all from the same user, so of course they’re all memes that interest that user.
Lemmy isn’t reddit, but whatever it is, they’re both the internet.
Yeah, but the linuxmemes community on Reddit is horrible in this regard.
Linux users are pretty insufferable online.
All that matters is we’re insufferable together.
That’s actually pretty sweet.
holds hand
I use arch btw
I’m sorry. I don’t speak Spanish.
Windows bad is 90% of linux memes.
The other 10% is shitting on gnome or something.
market share bad
Perfectly balanced
Why sub to a meme community if you don’t want memes…there are a bunch of great serious Linux communities on Lemmy too.
I’m not saying I don’t want memes at all.
I want others to post what I want and I am going to complain if they don’t. Everybody get out there and get me the content I want to see!
I’m on kbin’s all page and getting 3 linuxmeme posts. I’d have to actually block the community to see less of it.
I’m not doing that because it doesn’t actually bother me that much, just pointing out being subbed isn’t remotely a requirement.

And here now I was hoping to avoid comments that smugly borrow verbiage from the OP as though that automatically makes it a sarcastic grand slam 😊😊😊
How deep can we go?
Actually, you’re right. Scratch Reddit. Every single Linux meme community I’ve seen on the internet so far eventually boils down to repetitive “Windows bad” memes.
Then don’t comment on them ffs
I was joking, but you are of course right.
It’s one of the reasons why people like me are put off using linux, especially when you have to ask those same smug linux users for advice when your first install hits a snag or you have an issue installing drivers.
It’s very human behaviour, it’s nice to feel special because you’re part of an in-group which you deem superior, but yeah.
smug linux users
That might have been me 20 years ago, but these days I don’t give a fuck what you use. If Linux is your thing and you have the passion, you’ll gravitate towards it yourself just like I did. I don’t need to push anyone into the cult. We aren’t all like that.
The cultish people are most likely still in the honeymoon phase. The veterans know how annoying and sometimes rough the OS is, and acknowledge it, but stick with it anyway.
And yet… this meme popped up in my feed despite not being subscribed to linuxmemes. So there are still plenty of snobs.
It’s normal human behaviour. From vegans, iphone users, xbox gamers, ford owners, owners of automatic watches being snobs about quartz watches, …
Still annoying and unwelcoming for outsiders though.
I mean, putting ads in your operating system is pretty bad. We at least agree on that right?
Laughs in a clunky alternative hack that is miles behind any sort of native solution.
Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/
I’ll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.
I recently tried out Fedora and it deleted my Windows boot files so I had to fuck with the computer for hours trying to troubleshoot… not to mention that almost all Linux tools can’t create a proper bootable USB Windows recovery drive :/ Never had this problem with OpenSUSE (I had the best Linux experience with that one for sure) or Ubuntu, they behaved properly with dual-boot install. I guess Fedora never again. And what’s with that name anyway? It’s dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.
And what’s with that name anyway? It’s dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.
I guess that’s because it was a community continuation of red hat linux (not the enterprise one)
It is made by Red Hat, and they went with the hat theme. I used a few distributions, and RedHat was one of the worst. I don’t know why it’s popular.
Just make a Ventoy USB. Why people still bother flashing disk images to thumb drives is beyond me.
Ventoy is awesome, +1
It’s still needed for some things. I tried to install a Universal Blue based distro with Ventoy and kept getting errors, once I flashed a drive it installed perfectly normally. It’s definitely an edge case though.
Click “Activities” in the upper right and search for “tweaks”, click the “Tweaks” icon. Select “Keyboard & Mouse” and turn “Middle Click Paste” to “off”.
For Gnome ^ but I’m at work and can’t confirm.
Damn, someone who actually gives GUI instructions and doesn’t yell at the person? Keep it up. The Linux community needs people like you.
As far as I remember I tried that but it didn’t seem to work and some xdotool script that disabled the wheel click entirely. Then I installed kde, tried a few more things there, and then I tried to go back to gnome but… …
Next time try NixOS or use BTRFS snapshots.
I fucked up my Linux installation yesterday by doing apt upgrade.
Same! dnf upgrade tho for me.
They’ve already done this with Windows 10, get new material!
I thought ubuntu tried to do an opt-out-able advertising scheme.
made in mac?
If you install windows and set the language to be english (world), there will be no preinstalled BS apps like tiktok.
Of course most people wont do that
Wait, what are you talking about? Windows doesn’t pre-install TikTok. Are you talking about OEM versions? Those come with a bunch of bloatware because they get paid by the companies to add their software to the install. If you get a copy of windows that’s not attached to a pre-built computer, then it shouldn’t have any bloatware. Granted, I haven’t installed Windows 11, and don’t plan to, so my knowledge could be dated.
If you install windows 11 from a fresh usb right now, you’ll find TikTok, Prime Video, Candy Crush, etc. in the start menu. They’re technically not installed, more like “click to install”. Iirc, windows 10 was more or less the same, but a bit less.
I installed w11 today,there was no candy crush or tiktok or whatever. I had office,spotify,whatsapp,sudoku Legit download from the microsoft website…
I suppose it could differ by region. Spotify, WhatsApp, and sudoku are definitely paid placements
The only one that doesn’t have bloatware for money is MacOS. If Microsoft cared they would ban that.
Before anyone says Linux doesn’t have paid bloatware for money, Ubuntu had Amazon baked into for money. Additionally, many distros use Firefox that Google’s pays to have Google be the default search engine.
That’s so long as your install source/disk is multi regional. Most Windows install images are for a specific region unless you’re lucky to have MSDN or bought a non-crappy OEM Windows disk.
A disk? What year is this?
Please insert floppy disk #249 and press enter. _
Get a live!

I actually like Linux, but I’m considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it’s so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.
Linux is the best OS for posting memes about Linux, cmv
Is TempleOS a joke to you?
Is it not?
My guy, you are on linuxmemes lmao
No, I’m on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, “Linux good, Binbows bad.”
Binbows isn’t that bad, it’s Michaelsoft as a company we should worry about.
I like you.
But have you heard the latest hilarious thing? Windows… BAD! Hahaha! My goodness, I’m sure you never could have imagined. Also, I use Arch, in case you were wondering.
No, I’m on All
Hi on All, i’m the post of tom joad
They could use some memes making fun of our community instead of making fun of the rest.
Let’s be honest, Linux isn’t a viable option for a big portion of society. I love working in Linux but it’s not perfect for those that aren’t techsavy and need more than a browser.
Why do so many memes seem to be about windows then? 🤔
I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.
Instead I found “Windows bad” circlejerking.
Ubuntu bad?
Can’t forget to bash snaps too!
Systemd also bad!
Distros and package managers are bad. Reject modernity, embrace compiled source. Burn Lennart Pottering at the stake!
Go gentoo and get both!
I don’t think the bank will accept “I need to install Firefox” as the reason for a loan to pay my electricity bill.
Joking aside though, Gentoo was a great experience for me to learn how Linux actually works.
I never got it running, but I definitely learned some things. I need to try it again someday when I have a lot of free time and a spare laptop.
Gentoo and Arch is for wanabees, the hardcore use Linux From Scratch as their distro.
You need a book to tell you how to install Linux? I guess we were all a noob at one point.
These are the memes I come for
There’s like 6 of em hah
This feels like an appropriate time to let you know that I use arch, btw.
We’re on linuxmemes.
Then why are there so many Windows memes? :^)
I’m browsing all.
i’m using tilt controls!
Shut the blast doors!
Yeah, the post is in [email protected], congrats. Block the community if you don’t want to see it under “all.”
Kind of a dumb comment, I see tons of garbage I don’t care about under “all” too but why would I go to each post/community to complain their content doesn’t suit my tastes? 🙄
So like, you browse All, find communities minding their own business making little in-jokes, and pop in to say “hey assholes, I don’t appreciate you talking about all this stuff you like talking about! How about you shut up so I don’t have to skip past your posts when I’m deliberately skimming everything!”
Seems fair.
Yep, that’s what I said, verbatim.
Block it then. Don’t waste your attention on posts that don’t bring you joy.
+1
Nobody asked, nobody cares, just do it.
Why we don’t have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.
“So regarding these security vulnerabilities… We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support…” So basically you’re telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?

Feel free to block any communities you please, I personally block them even if they’re fine because they fill up local/all feeds with content I do not understand/care about
I mean just go ahead and block it, why make this rant at all, if you are seeing it on All its because of the amount of Linux users on Lemmy.
You’re talking to the deity of jokes himself. You think he’s out of touch? No, it is linuxmemes who are wrong
I mean, I’ve got a 75% upvote ratio right now, so perhaps I’m not alone in thinking it’s a bit excessive?
And whats the point? Should all Linux memes communities close so that you don’t see them in All? Should people stop making Linux memes at all? What are you achieving with your rant? You don’t like it. We get it. You and that 75% can block the community and move on.
I did. Go outside and breath for a bit, the weather is nice today.
Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.
I don’t know your life story, I only know you got pretty riled up over nothing at all on the Internet, by a strangers comment. Usually a good sign you need to take a break and relax.
Bro stop the virtue signalling, you got triggered by memes.
I mean, I’ve got a 75% upvote ratio right now, so perhaps I’m not alone in thinking it’s a bit excessive?
My guy, you got ratio’d by the guy pointing out you were on c/linuxmemes.
Since you are the main character of Lemmy, which Stallman meme shall we post for the millionth time? Perhaps we shall post about how it’s stupid in 2023 to be using a macrokerenel architecture and that Linux is obsolete?
you’re absolutely not. i daily drive linux and find all these memes cringy too (came here from “all” too if anyone’s wondering)
The word art really makes the joke
I read about “how much Crap there is in windows” and thought linux should be much smoother to run on my laptop. But it turns out to be the opposite. Firefox for windows works much better than Firefox for linux. For me windows just works. Linux even without telemetry struggles to perform as good as windows.
I was also disappointed with how slow Firefox was on Linux compared to Windows.
I got Firefox back to smooth on Linux by installing Liquorix kernel and switching from x11 to wayland
TouchPad scrolling on Firefox with Wayland do not work, i have tried many suggested solutions.
works 4 me
Which distro are you using? That doesn’t sound very normal
Latest fedora workstation, amd gpu, on 8 year old dell laptop. Although I have used many other distros too.
Hmm, I’m not sure then, there must be something more to this.
Within the distros you tried have you used Puppy as well? Just for the sake of seeing a very low requirements system running and checking how that performs

- running on a certified windows laptop.
Also, prob. some graphic issue or no compositor installed.
For me Firefox on linux without a compositor ist the best. Doesn’t feel so sluggish.
Which distro?
Sounds like you picked the wrong distro!
I’ve put Linux on a few computers over summer. Actually, I put Debian on a few computers, but I tried a few different desktop environments. Debian internally works fine for my needs, and IMO it’s kinda a “low drama” OS. So on my 4-year-old laptop and 7-year-old gaming PC, I used KDE Plasma, and on my 15-year-old PC I used LXQT, which is considered lightweight, after trying a number of options. The laptop has NVidia graphics and the 15-year-old PC has some janky GeForce integrated graphics, so I have gotten stuff to work with NVidia. Debian in particular has a really straightforward guide on the wiki on how to install graphics drivers.
I use Librewolf (Firefox derivative) on most of my Linux PCs, but Firefox ESR (extended support release, bundled with Debian by default) performed fine on the two newer computers. It’s a bit sluggish on the older one, but fit for purpose.
I really think you should give it another try. Debian has live installs preconfigured with all the different desktop environments. That’s how I picked Debian with KDE Plasma: I tried it out for three days and I decided i needed to have it.
There are probably compelling reasons to go with a distro other than Debian, but IMO Debian works great for me almost 100% of the time for a few different use cases. It’s probably not the best OS for everyone, but I do think it’s “pretty good” for most people. It’ll get the job done.
But more importantly, there’s a Linux distro for every niche. There are lots of lightweight distros with old PCs in mind that are much faster than even old versions of Windows. If your computer somehow can’t deal with a desktop environment, a window manager like Fluxbox will work great.
Well it may not be cpu performance that firefox struggles with on linux. There is a Touchpad Scrolling Bug for firefox on wayland, that neither GTK nor firefox want to fix (if I remember correctly). There are some more things like that, that suggest Firefox team focuses more on Firefox for windows than Firefox for linux.
No no no they didn’t do that didn’t they?
Microsoft is the only company that can make so many bad decisions in such a short time…
I think X still has them beat.
For a second I though you were talking about xorg. Curse you elon
Thought so to until i read your comment and remembered that X (twitter) exists
I think you forgot Elon musk businesses
