Considering pretty much every sub went back public, and they have seen no drop in users, I’d say no.

Lemmy is declining.

Lemmy is no different than Reddit. Just constant reposts.

It feels worse on Lemmy because the amount of content is so low. Really sucks.

Firefox always runs in the background on my PC also. I’m sure there’s a way to disable it, but by default it’s always there.

I’ve never had that happen. Either the US version of Windows is fucked, or people are bullshitting hard.

Just checked. All of the “cheap” ones require you to order 2+, and then have insane shipping costs. The rest are $100-120 CAD.

I don’t think these things will ever be affordable. People who want one badly, will pay the money, and everyone knows it. No need to sell them at MSRP.

I don’t buy any pis because they are $100+ in Canada.

Remember when it was supposed to be a cheap computer? Ya…

Linux isn’t trying to compete with Windows for the desktop market. Making fun of it for failing to do that is dishonest at best.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 IS THE YEAR OF LINUX!!!

It caters to the very specific needs and wants of programmers, and it does that incredibly well.

Too bad Linux users don’t understand this. Lemmy is full of Linux nerds acting like Linux is a viable replacement to Windows/MacOS, when it’s not for the majority of users.

The fact that it can now run some quite high-end art and video production packages is a bonus

Ya, despite the fact Davinci free cannot edit h.264 or h.265 video on Linux, or that neither the free or PAID versions can use AAC audio. Very professional.

but no one with an ounce of sense (coughgardinerbryantcough) would seriously argue that Linux will be ready for mass adoption at any point within the next ten years.

You’ve guys been saying this for decades lol.

okay punk. have a shitty day man.

Class. Telling me to have a shitty day because I asked you not to keep asking me about private information. Take the hint. Back off, creep.

Lmao Linux users cope with the “I don’t care, I don’t even want it” excuses. Comes out so naturally when you have to give up nearly everything on Linux.

I don’t want to answer you, stop asking, creep. Get the hint.

I am very happy with my AMD CPU and GPUs, thank you very much.

Lmfao. Enjoy your last gen ray tracing and garbage FSR.

so what is it?

I am not telling you, creep. When someone doesn’t want to answer personal info, stop asking. It’s sad you need to be told this.

Are you really that dense? Different tools don’t equal different workflows. It means some things aren’t possible on kdenlive that people need to use in their professional work.

That’s like saying paint is a replacement for Photoshop. Enjoy trying to professionally edit photos with paint.

But hey, you like Linux, trying to troubleshoot why your graphics card doesn’t work, begging companies to release a Linux version of software, trying to hunt around for hardware that supports your Linux distribution.

Literally a post from the last few hours in one of the Linux communities asking which distro to use because Pop isn’t working with their Nvidia card properly. Comments are full of different recommendations, despite Pop being one of the OSes that is set up for gaming.

Linux is a mess, and the community isn’t helpful.

The distinction I am making is that most software developers don’t consider Linux Desktop a real OS, and that’s why Linsux nerds are begging for developers to release Linux versions.

They lack the features and tools.

I said desktop. You literally quoted it.

Linux server and Linux desktop aren’t the same thing.

Are you implying software can’t be released for Windows/Mac only, and be FOSS? 💀

I bought Affinity for a one time fee. Enjoy trying to get a job using gimp 😂😂😂

or just downright combative responses

My favourite things Linsuxs users say;

“You don’t even need to use the terminal anymore!”

someone asks for help

“here’s a terminal command, idiot. Go back to windows, idiot.”

or

“Linus from LTT is so stupid for running a random terminal command from the internet, borking his install. Anyway, here’s a terminal command, idiot. If you want the GUI instructions, go back to Windoze!1!”

or

“You can run that on Linux. Just download these 50 dependencies, run this custom script, modify WINE, and then it only crashes every 3 minutes!”

Like nah, I will stick to clicking a .exe and having it up and running in 5 seconds with no crashing, thanks.

Kdenlive isn’t a replacement for Davinci or Premiere, sorry.

I rely on either Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator to run my business. Inkscape and Krita are not capable of professional work.

I pay for Proton, so I am not going to say fuck it because they, like most companies, don’t look at Linux Desktop as a real OS. Sorry.
