You can even run your favorite Linux shell as your Windows shell - literally with WSL2.

…otherwise windows is unusuable


Heres a great one:

How Windows is so awful with its (anonymous) telemetry, its advertising (that can be turned off in two clicks). All the malware (that you only ever find in dodgy places, with UAC and updates turned off) and its terrible hardware support (as Linux users wait patiently for their WiFi drivers). But don’t worry, you can use a virtual machine… to pass through hardware to Windows.

My favorite part is:

(anonymous) telemetry

Sure buddyyyyyyy


No way the commentors arent paid shills, literally no fucking way. Or maybe Bill’s cum is that tasty. Am baffled


Hosting a forum and a general chat is probably the best choice. Mahbe even a big FOSS platform that can host a lot of forums simultaneously for others, almost like something that already exists and im making a comment using that platform 🧐🧐


Wrong link or smth? I didnt see them mention source code on there. But theres this repo with no source code but filled with executables and binaries: https://github.com/JordyK8/UnrealEngine-release





I swear if i see another “madaidans-insecurities” or “*.neocities” link im going to block the person who posted it. If you read the articles, you probably know why i dont like them


Just read about it, gcc8 is compatible so in theory you can port a lot of software to haiku


Yeah this is more of a hobby os than a real alternative to linux. The work it has gone into it is amazing but unless you can compile software for it then its more something you would put on an old pc like the author of the article suggested








/bin/sh historically used to be an actual shell(the Bourne shell*), but now by default it points to one set by the distro’s devs. Almquist shell was an alternative developed with a BSD license and i guess its still used



Streamable/youtube alternative
I sometimes upload some (osu) videos which i share with friends and would want them to be hosted on a FOS platform. I do compress my videos(to around 20mb) before uploading and i dont upload that often, but I cant seen to find a viable alternative. - Peertube: This seems like the best alternative except I cant really find an instance where its "for everyone" and usually theyre mostly for personal use or for specific countries. If you use a peertube instance which would allow my type of short and rareful videos please recommend it. - LBRY: This seems like a decent alternative except the mobile app is awfully large (since its a crypto wallet) EDIT: I found a compatible instance, will not delete the post as someone may have a similar need for it: https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/
