EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.

PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.

    I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

    I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

      Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

        I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us “it’s going to be zero day heaven!” they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that’s really REALLY valuable to me.

    I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

    I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there’s bound to be a couple I don’t understand but that’s not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

    I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

    2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe 🤔

      From what I’ve seen while Linux support is okay for the Surface line, it’s just not there yet to make sense as an “upgrade” power management and wireless still need some work if I recall correctly.

      It is not a kink. It’s a hobby. For the vast majority, at least.

      I wouldn’t worry too much about the furry stuff. People aren’t going to be pushy about it, but you will see Xenia here occasionally. Just consider her like a mascot and all is well :-)

      Thanking the heavens my distro doesn’t have a mascot to embarrass me with (yet)

      And a new PC, or are you lucky enough to have sufficiently recent hardware that will support it, unlike thousands of others with otherwise perfectly good hardware?

      Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.

          I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

          I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

            Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you’re curious about and if I own it I’ll try it out.

              My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.

              Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.

              Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

                Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Stardew Valley have native Linux Support. For Stardew, even the third modding API works flawlessly for me.

                For the other ones, they are reported to run well on protondb.com, which is a good place to check Linux support (not only for Steam games). The reports there usually also list, which proton version works well.

                Off the top of my head all but STO will work no issue

                ProtonDB says STO is gold rates, but you gotta use the experimental branch. Otherwise, will work pretty flawlessly

                PROTONDB is gonna be a great resource: it’ll tell you how playable any game is right now using Proton (you can force non steam games to run proton ezpz by launching through steam)
