Yeah, I need to figure out GSIs. Finding non-flagship phones with decent custom rom communities is getting harder.

DeGoogle your phone.

Get a refurbished pixel and put grapheneos on it. Best thing I could ever do.

check out the fossify gallery app. not on play store probably. it can ignore folders, or only look in some

It's also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.

There's a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.

It's also the total failure of a punch line in the second frame. Just so robotic sounding.

Check out the random items on the desk. They make no sense.

But yes, the biggest giveaway is those slightly blurry pop ups and that not-quite-comicsans font you see in all that slop.

Left side. There is a thing next to the books and the handle of the coffee cup is wonky.

I think it's the speech bubbles

When my computer goes to sleep I no longer have audio when I resume using it. Unplugging and replugging my USB DAC is a workaround I've been using.

My laziness

The biggest gripe for me is completely disabling MMB copy-paste functionality and instead enabling autoscroll everywhere. Couldn't achieve this in CachyOS, except for the browsers and maybe a few Electron-based applications.

Holding MMB to scroll like a touch screen drag also breaks canvas panning on MMB in Krita, so I had to disable it.

Basically, MMB behavior in CachyOS is really unappealing to a Windows user, but it seems to be baked into the system.

Hey, at least it's not the (pay to be) tester that many AAA games give us now.

Help me out here whippersnapper, all I can see that is suspicious is the coffee cup and grey note next to it, but everything else looks clean

I mean, fair, but this image is ai generated tho.

It is onedrive but the screen I get presents it as setting up a backup of my files.

The typical Font, the typical drawing style

It is generally

• not a known meme template
• not a „normal” font style like impact, used by most no effort memes

--> pretty big effort

• maybe artist?

--> no Mark, not known like xkcd, pizzacake, cyanide and happiness (which would have been most likely)

• pretty typical AI font style, weird curly but at the same time straight font
• also the outlines remind me really much of AI slop
• If anyone might have drawn it, the monitor and desk would have stayed the same. If they wanted to do it in a more obvious way that these are 2 different people, they would have added more of a color and/or person differentiation with clothing or other desks. Instead the image is copied and pasted 95%, except for small, usually not noticable changes like the corners of the image. This is generally how AI images look using the same input, only having the random parameters that are usually inserted into the image generator change.

Example: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages7.memedroid.com%2Fimages%2FUPLOADED376%2F682890dbbb792.jpeg&f=1&ipt=3032bec4888b9d3ab4e463817228193fbafadfae16e936ada2a07d16a760bf4f

Its literally the same line thickness

Also, random notes: Thought bubble looks really like AI, nonsense Terminal commands consisting of a mix of Ubuntu/Debian default bash and sh??? (sh usually only has a $)

The template „AI vs no need to update” generally has nothing to do with each other, and is generally just the stuff regurgitated by just about every YouTube channel by now; unlike most Linux users memes, which ranges generally in more niche topics

• Windows AI, Forced updates
• Linux no AI, Terminal, Debian commands

Also, as https://lemmy.world/comment/21278707 @AeonFelis has pointed out, the image is 5mb big.

Also, a resolution of 2816x1536 is not normal

Almost just like it is not normal for such an image not to be tagged by your Graphics Program that you used to make it

TL;DR: this is what happens if you ask grok to make a Meme about Linux and windows from the meaning depth to the weird art

Check out the other great dissection

And the fact you are even denying it, yet posting the most obvious slop, makes it even funnier

Might add to it later, but I think if you already read this, you might as well look at the PIC and my example and decide for yourself

What's with the random comma? It makes absolutely no sense. And then you decided to not use a question mark, both those things are just so odd. And HOW do you not see that it's an AI generated image? This whole comment section is about how obvious it is, with many examples why. It almost feels like your comment is some rage bait shit.

I don't think distro hopping would be a good choice for me since I already have very little time to even game, let alone diagnose and fix my computer after what should be a simple update..

I've already painstakingly set my computer up the way I want it, which took days with the limited amount of time I have. It's why I don't want to update at all, actually, since when it is working fine, it's working great. I also need the newer drivers and other stuff that a rolling release provides me, since I am trying to game mainly.

I can't use immutable distros, because that over complicates me using my computer as my computer.

Yes, thank you, but when it comes to these point releases, I don't want to have to practically reinstall the OS just for an update, if that makes sense? I appreciate the reply though, seriously! I just wanted to see what others had to say. :/

Ah. I do have an NVIDIA GPU also, so how would I go about making sure that I use a specific version of the GPU drivers? I've been on openSUSE for over a year now, and it has mostly been smooth sailing, but I do not have a lot of time after work to diagnose my computer when I just want to relax for two or three hours before having to end the day and a new work day start...

I am lucky enough to say that Windows has always been solid for me and I've never had any issues with anything I was trying to do with it.

On the other hand, I am usually just trying to play a game before the next day begins all over again, so I used ChrisTitusTech's Windows Utility for fine grain control over when the system updates among the many other options it provides.

Basically, I set it up to not bother me with any updates except security updates for over 4 months, THEN the newer version can try to get installed. I haven't had to use Windows except a handful of times since last December, so my memory may not be as clear as it should!

Sorry for the long wall of text! :)

Thank you for your reply!

Are you using the same drive for the dual boot? I ripped a spare SSD from a dead laptop a few years back, and installed tiny11 onto it and used my newer SSD for openSUSE. I've never had any issues this way, if that helps?

My system is really just for PC gaming, so I understand!

That was one of the main reasons of me using a rolling release. I do not want to spend whatever time I have left on the week days/weekend to do a whole system upgrade like that. I'm sure it works well, but it is not what I am looking for in my daily OS. :(

It shouldn't be hard or too hard at least. Unless you are on BTRFS.. I had quite a difficult time trying to move my openSUSE over to a new M.2 I got for my birthday, and it was hellishly complicated. I've used Rescuezilla to copy my Windows OS over to a different drive and it was as simple as choosing the stuff and executing. On BTRFS though.. good god why is it so difficult to move it over and have it setup and ready to go like the Windows drive?? Crazy. :P

I feel like if I didn't game and use my computer the way I do, my Linux experience would be like most that you see on the web. "It just works!" and all of that.

The Steam Deck has had one hiccup in my two years on it, and I just put it away until the next update, and poof, all fixed! I also use Decky plugins, so that could've very well been my issue!

I definitely feel you on the backend stuff. I upgraded one time and noticed that I had to wait a few days if not a week until I could use one of my apps, Proton Mail Bridge I believe, since the window wasn't showing except for the title bar and the minimize, fullscreen, and exit buttons.

It's.. really weird how it all works until it doesn't, which isn't something I have ever experienced on Windows, though I keep in mind that this is all a community effort and the operating system really is good at its core, but I think it needs some people like me or you to bring these pain points up so they are seen and maybe even worked on.

Give me a Linux install, and I'll show you how easily a user can wreck it just trying to recreate a workflow that they have on Windows. ;P

EDIT: No, I haven't tried Nemo, but I will now that you've recommended it! Does it have split tab stuff like Dolphin? That's a feature I use every single day to easily move stuff around all of my drives and NAS. :)
