To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.

How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

    Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...

    Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.

    Dangerous move. What if they adopt Linux? You're then obliged to become Mormon.

    This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !

    Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want...

    Tbf aren’t most Christian religions forks? Of original Catholicism, which itself is a fork of Judaism?

    They are different distros, and fork of distros, of a same original project. Yet it is sad to see how the trolls of the different branches are aggressive toward others.

    Don't you think switching to Linux could help them in finding better ways to promote their favorite distro?

    Yet, I admit linuxians too tend to have a favorite distro they fight for even if they haven't tried most others, and therefore without knowing if theirs is really better...

    If you can't fork it, you would better work on an other existing project that you can fork ; or start an other one from scratch...

    And (optionally) call back the mormons every 15 minutes so they join yours...

    My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.

    He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.

    I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

    I guess so, but can one set it up from the installer? Asking geniunely.

    What do you mean set it up from the installer?

    It's there, by default. You don't have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it's a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.

    I've never met anyone who's changed the defaults, other than me, and I've been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)

    Ah, great then. I meant to set up a swap partition (and its size), and all that. I just wanted to know how could one do it because I want to teach my family to hibernate the computer instead of regular suspend on their computers. I'll look it up, thanks!

    You can add the setting to hibernate to the normal power menu and also make it automatically hibernate when they press the power button/close the lid etc. from somewhere in the power settings. So if they just press the power button or whatever you can make it automatically hibernate instead of dealing with trying to teach family a new thing lol.

    Windows suspend is now hibernate, or something, or Poweroff with fastboot is hibernate. I forget. There was a time when their terms meant the thing it did, but they actually switched things around. If you need a full power off for hardware reasons its a restart, because power off doesn't do a true power off any more. Something to that effect

    For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.

    Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.

  • Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

    Having a privacy policy that links to the Warner Bros website doesn't really make it feel like a void.

    I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.

    In panel 3 is that two people collectively performing CPR with one hand each? Is that something that people do?

  • source
  • hideshow 2 child comments
  • That is just one person with their hands woven together. You can see the part of the hand coming out of the sleeve of the white coat of the other person the CPR person is next to.

    What concerns me more is how she went from CPR to being on a CPAP sleep apnea machine in Panel 4.
