Hi I live in one of the Nordic country.you are right , if you want a serene, calm, without hiccups life , this is the place to be, excellent for spending your retirement years, and enjoy nature. BUT life here is long and boring, agreed you won’t live like AMERICAN lifestyle here but as you said you just live, there is no excitement, the long dark winters even down in southern parts of countries are unbearable sometimes, there is less you can do, yesterday I saw restaurant about 49 minutes away from me , for specific radler beer at around 7 o clock and I knew I could go there because it was in other nearby city, I knew if I went now I won’t be able to back at my home since buses/trains will stop. Lot of out people who come to work on Monday , take a flight and if they reach anything after 8pm , they stay in big city just because there is no train in midnight. It’s manageable, silence is deafning , life pace is less than crawl and YOU need vitamin D from day 1.

Endast andra land har likasom vatten är tjeck. Men det har 4g socker i deras vatten och DWM har aven druvor smak. Jättegott.

Pandora has best radio functionality of all the stteqmong services till date, iniwws tp have Pandora when it was available globally and with radio functionality it was as if you are one who selected those songs. Ibtoed of coming back to USA , tried it with VPN. I have tried all the streaming services and nobody has best algo to choose songs like Pandora has YouTube is coming that way but it’s still not as good as Pandora. I would have bought 0andora solely because of that but it seems that they will never be available out of USA :(

I love travel , I used to travel as child /teen/adult in buses trains etc and enjoy every bit of it. Mountains, valleys, trees roads etc.I had patience to enjoy cause I had no worry about destination. Views were changing and beautiful.

Now in travel a LOT due to work , so going to airport , check in, security and then same clouds or sun , same shitty services ,

Now we need to have have fun with you, family to enjoy the trip in flights atleast or when toubdont have to drive .

The site is filled with users who think they are great and they are here to teach leasson to reddit. They have specific things they think are right and push away people who do not confirm to their ideas.

On such example , you cannot say Linux in unusable in any shape or form , they don’t like it here no matter what examples you give.

This is Community who thinks they are better just because they are superior.

I wanted to have some resemblance of Reddit but it’s far from it.

Huh what ?

Bravo 👏👏!

Hah! Just say these words “Linux is hardly usable for everyday life for general populace” and see how TOLERANT Lemmy is .

And if you say Linux is not good for general purpose, you will get talked like baby, get told the problems you mentioned does not exist for their distro so they are not there. Their grandparents of 80 years has been amusing Linux, I am using windows because I am bad.

In short don’t you dare say anything bad about Linux and don’t even say it’s not usable cause at 4% market share it’s the most useable OS of all and everything else sucks.

And you get called baby for saying anything like this.

Same for me

TIME :deeper meaning of it. it’s the concept even cracked a bit more could lead to multiple advances , it’s fantastic dimension but unfortunately we are almost at limit it seems in terms of research.

Okay, zorin os , not complicated part is not true. On any Linux 1., try to find where is program main executable is 2. Put that at startup, so thatbsoftwre starts at login 3. Connect HDD and ensure that it’s available in ALL programs , without touching terminal. These things are trivial in windows. Linux or the v n zonrin works out of box if you just want to surf Internet.

Have you tried excel ? Its WAY AHEAD of any excel like thing available as office in wild. Just example vlookup , Power tables , vba are no whwre near in any of the products.

Here is to barge of negative votes but why linux sucks

1. A user has to use terminals for lot of cases when they have to install softwares

2. There is no single way to add program to startup on different distors, even in some distros you have to go terminal route

3. Its 2024 nobody wants to use terminals like Olsen days , while using os at fullest not possible in Linux

4. A user who wants to do something can/will cone across rabbit hole. You want to install xyz , then can’t run cause it has depend view, you installed those but there are this thing missing , that thing missing…

5. I only care about Minecraft, if you search if moneycraft runs on Linux , third results shows you rabbit hole , second is question which distro can’t run Minecraft… REPEAT I AND DOZENS OF US , DONT CARE ABOUT STEAM AT ALL.

6.i plug in HDD it’s availablity to me throught apps across anything , I don’t have to MOUNT -A-B-C xyz anywhere at all

I will paste a full reply from another thread Till then linux dudebros linux does not work for ordinary users no matter what market share it has .

Courtesy user :bearoftime Lol, right. Linux ain’t even close to replacing windows - just look at the gaming issues that persist, or other compatibility issues.

It’s great for specific use-case scenarios, but I’m not dealing with supporting friends and family when stuff doesn’t work because I told them to install a Linux distro.

Besides, business doesn’t have this issue - it’s only on home (not Pro) installs, because for business we do all sorts of system management that would preclude this, even is MS tried to push it.

This just reflects how MS sees home users - there’s no profit there (never has been, it’s always been about getting people used to Windows at home, to capture the audience).

No one in my family is allowed to use Windows Home versions. They either buy pro when they get a new computer, or I get it for them.

My standard response to “just go Linux” :

I keep having to say this, as much as I like Linux for certain things, as a desktop it’s still no competition to Windows, even with this awful shit going on.

As some background - I had my first UNIX class in about 1990. I wrote my first Fortran program on a Sperry Rand Univac (punched cards) in about 1985. Cobol was immediately after Fortran (wish I’d stuck with Cobol).

I run a Mint laptop. Power management is a joke. Configured as best as possible, walked in the other day and it was dead - as in battery at zero, won’t even boot. Windows would never do this, unless you went out of your way to config power management to kill the battery (even then, to really kill it you have to boot to BIOS and let it sit, Windows will not let a battery get to zero).

There no way even possible via the GUI to config power management for things like low/critical battery conditions /actions.

There are many reasons why Linux doesn’t compete with Windows on the desktop - this is just one glaring one.

Now let’s look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. The devs of open office refuse to support tables, saying “you should manage data in a proper database app”. No, I’m not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That’s just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn’t realistically shareable with other people. I do this several times a day in excel.

Now there’s that print monitor that’s on by default, and can only be shut up by using a command line. Wtf? In the 21st century?

Networking… Yea, samba works, but how do you clear creds you used one time to connect to a share, even though you didn’t say “save creds”? Oh, yea, command line again or go download an app to clear them for for you. Smh.

Oh, you have a wireless Logitech mouse? Linux won’t even recognize it. You have to search for a solution and go find a download that makes it work. My brand new wireless mouse works on any version of windows since 2000, at the least, and would probably work on Win95.

Someone else said it better than me:

Every time I’ve installed Linux as my main OS (many, many times since I was younger), it gets to an eventual point where every single thing I want to do requires googling around to figure out problems. While it’s gotten much better, I always ended up reinstalling Windows or using my work Mac. Like one day I turn it on and the monitor doesn’t look right. So I installed twenty things, run some arbitrary collection of commands, and it works… only it doesn’t save my preferences.

So then I need to dig into .bashrc or .bash_profile (is bashrc even running? Hey let me investigate that first for 45 minutes) and get the command to run automatically… but that doesn’t work, so now I can’t boot… so I have to research (on my phone now, since the machine deathscreens me once the OS tries to load) how to fix that… then I am writing config lines for my specific monitor so it can access the native resolution… wait, does the config delimit by spaces, or by tabs?? anyway, it’s been four hours, it’s 3:00am and I’m like Bryan Cranston in that clip from Malcolm in the Middle where he has a car engine up in the air all because he tried to change a lightbulb.

And then I get a new monitor, and it happens all damn over again. Oh shit, I got a new mouse too, and the drivers aren’t supported - great! I finally made it to Friday night and now that I have 12 minutes away from my insane 16 month old, I can’t wait to search for some drivers so I can get the cursor acceleration disabled. Or enabled. Or configured? What was I even trying to do again? What led me to this?

I just can’t do it anymore. People who understand it more than I will downvote and call me an idiot, but you can all kiss my ass because I refuse to do the computing equivalent of building a radio out of coconuts on a deserted island of ancient Linux forum posts because I want to have Spotify open on startup EVERY time and not just one time. I have tried to get into Linux as a main dev environment since 1997 and I’ve loved/liked/loathed it, in that order, every single time.

I respect the shit out of the many people who are far, far smarter than me who a) built this stuff, and 2) spend their free time making Windows/Mac stuff work on a Linux environment, but the part of me who liked to experiment with Linux has been shot and killed and left to rot in a ditch along the interstate.

Now I love Linux for my services: Proxmox, UnRAID, TrueNAS, containers for Syncthing, PiHole, Owncloud/NextCloud, CasaOS/Yuno, etc, etc. I even run a few Windows VM’s on Linux (Proxmox) because that’s better than running Linux VM’s of a Windows server.

Linux is brilliant for this stuff. Just not brilliant for a desktop, let alone in a business environment.

Linux doesn’t even use a common shell (which is a good thing in it’s own way), and that’s a massive barrier for users.

If it were 40 years ago, maybe Linux would’ve had a chance to beat MS, even then it would’ve required settling on a single GUI (which is arguably half of why Windows became a standard, the other half being a common API), a common build (so the same tools/utilities are always available), and a commitment to put usability for the inexperienced user first.

These are what MS did in the 1980’s to make Windows attractive to the 3 groups who contend with desktops: developers, business management, end users.

All this without considering the systems management requirements of even an SMB with perhaps a dozen users (let alone an enterprise with tens of thousands).

Everywhere I go they ask me where I am from , when I tell country of my birth and whwre I was raised, they say but what is your origin? They want to hear the nationality of my parent because my skin does not look white enough, THIS IS THE SITUATION IN FRANCE, even if you are fluent in French but does not look white they will ask you whats your origin. FU K EM

It’s called pallet whistling, I can do it too in fact I don’t need to have lips very close at all i.e. you can see my teeth while whistling.

Oh there are like many varieties of mangoes z but hands down best is called hapoos or alphonso, it’s so so good. I recently found it EU due a colleague and tasted other varieties too such as kesar ( in think it means orange) , in could eat the peel also . The only place that you might get is Indian grocery stores in the areas specially now to end of julyi guess

How do you justify paying

1. For searches , cause i think it’s fundamental such as how to fix bathroom leak or even specific name of generic OTC medicine, it’s so trivial
2. Consider if you do search for trivial things how don manage only with 300 searches ? When I am lookig for something’s specific it takes multiple searches within hour , what would do then ?

I installed it today and I can’t get sound working, the crate link context menu is missing, I can’t create symbolic links at all. Hdd is hard to detect,

Yah if it was simple as that in Linux. When the page says do chown 775 xyz , the Linux throes error as can’t modify, then I go down rabbit hole…honestly it’s far from simple
