  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    What was the context for this? Was he just explaining why he wasn't going to talk about how to install Linux during a video or something?

    [–] [email protected] 109 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    He made a video of how to build a pc and how to install the os. And basically if you choose Linux as a os you already know how to install it.

    I guess it makes sense. There's probably better tutorial videos out there for it

    I learnt how to install Linux from some random indian YouTube video with a terrible mic and a handful of views, but explained it perfectly to my dumbass. I tried a few bigger ones and got lost or screwed up.

    Best tech tutorials are ones that use screen capture and notepad to exaplain what's going on.

    With the one and only music title:

    Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Man, it's been YEARS since I last heard that song. But by just reading the title it started playing in my head and I can't get it to stop. Damnit

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    I looked it up, and conclude that Inever heard it before (as least as far as I can recall.) What's its significance?

    Gotta love those Indian dudes, always to the rescue πŸ‘.

    And they usually don't even monetize their channels, I mean, how cool is that. I think they do it for the heck of it, like why not.

    The only thing I usually ROFL on is the way they speak 🀣🀣🀣. But that's good as well, you get a good chuckle out of it while learning how to solve your problem 🀣.

    It's also their second language, with English phonetics turning out to be confusing even for native speakers. So πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

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

    I know, know, it's just funny πŸ˜‚. It's my second language as well, but they're just funny to listen to πŸ˜‚.

    Fluffy has a great take on Indian bank robbers 🀣.

    But there's also some terrible ones. I know one of them almost steered me away from Linux. I don't know what exactly the dude did, but he did most of the Linux Mint installation over CLI. Anyway, I decided to try it anyway just to find a GUI simpler than Windows installer.

    I get ya seems like some tutorials are written for Linux users who use it for ASMR

    I have to admit, that got a chuckle out of me. Well done.

    [–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    What is there to know exactly? You just follow the installer and pick languages and whatnot. It's no different than installing Windows except that it's faster.

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

    I think the main point they would present in a video is how to even get to the "follow the installer" stage. Where to download windows and how to make a bootable USB stick.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

    It's not like they go into detail about how to install windows either...

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Don't forget the extra steps in windows 11 for removing Microsoft spyware

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Windows 10 as well. Let's not forget Wi-Fi Sense.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    The install experience is same as windows. You give few details and hit next. Unless, of course, you want to pretend that Linux is terrible and install a command line only distribution.
