  • A computer has hardware (your hard drive, memory, screen, processor) and software (a web browser, Discord, apps, etc.). Your operating system is what manages your hardware and software, and provides a user interface for you to interact with. Microsoft Windows, IOS and Android are all types of operating systems. They allow you to run software, change your display settings, connect to the Internet and do anything else that your hardware and software allow.

    Linux is an operating system, or more accurately, a collection of operating systems that are free and open source. This means that anyone can take the Linux kernel (the base of the operating system), and create their own distribution, or distro for short. There are dozens of Linux distros out there, each serving different users or different purposes. For this reason, Linux is used on a wide variety of devices. Android on smartphones and tablets, steam OS on gaming handhelds, and the software that powers most smart home appliances, these are all different types of Linux distros!

  • I don't think Fortnite is shit. I've never played it, but I have to assume it's popular for a reason. Frankly, I think it would be great if it did run natively on Linux. The more options people have to play the games they want, the better. As Linux gaming continues to become more mainstream, developers will continue to take note to ensure compatibility.

  • I know you're just trying to bait folks, but I think you can play it on Linux using Xbox cloud gaming.

  • If Nike launched a line of formal wear it would be called Nichael.

  • No shit that's what it's designed to do.

  • And not buying stuff that comes from slaughterhouses and factory farms.

  • Reminds me of that olive oil coffee Starbucks was selling that caused people to shit their pants.

  • Weird, at my company they changed it to "flesh asset repair and removal."

  • Who would have imagined that a department called "human resources" wouldn't have your best interests in mind?

  • God: "Ok, fine I guess. You guys are no fun."

  • Watch Buggin With Ruud, a 2005 nature documentary about bugs.

  • Could you imagine the stories that would circulate in the playgrounds? "I heard the Linux fairy is close. Timmy can't play Roblox in class anymore."

  • For a while I was just dumping my discard into a hot oiled pan to make a nice little pancake. Some scallions, sesame seeds and teriyaki sauce for toppings. It's a lot to eat on the regular though.

  • Whoever loses, America wins.

  • You shall not pass!

  • This is so sad. I'm going to go home right now, give my wife a big hug, and tell her that she is slightly more important to me than corporate cyber security.

    Trouble restoring purchases

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?

    What are you going to do, no matter how small, to make the world a little better?
