Lmao is that a Lemmy watermark? 💀
Stamp, not a watermark, but yes. There was a post a while back, asking Lemmy OC to have that or something similar. I figured, why not.

Depends on the reason, I suppose. Or the mark. I feel it’s more like attribution, where I attribute this meme as a gift to Lemmy, as opposed to a gift to wherever it finds itself next. No matter where this meme goes, it’s attributed home will always be clear as Lemmy.
Uh oh. I pirated a meme.
Nuh uh. It’s not my meme. It’s our meme hahaha
Can’t pirate that which is already ours
I’ve been on Linux for a while but this shit is starting to make my wife ask about switching over. Which is something I never thought I’d see.
I never thought good could come out of Microsoft’s messed up ways, but here we are! Haha
Install Linux, problem resolved.
Removed by mod
Fedora here, been running Baldur’s Gate 3 no problem using proton. Even with a 2600.
No reason to go back to windows knowing I can run pretty much anything through steam.
I’m gonna have to go for Linux once my current laptop dies. Now way I’m putting up with Windows 11.
Awesome 👍🏻
Unless it’s unity era Ubuntu
Install kubuntu, KDE rocks and is very easy to understand for windows refugees
Oh agreed. 20+year Linux user here, and I don’t think (or remember) I’ve used anything else but KDE.
It’s been downhill since Windows 7. I think this will be my last Windows PC.
I just don’t feel safe with Windows that next time I boot up there won’t be some fresh horror I didn’t ask for and have to go research how to put back in the bottle.
It’s like having your computer pre-rooted with malware.
That’s exactly what it is. Defender is removing PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), but only those unwanted by Microsoft, while Windows is installing unwanted programs left and right. Windows is legitimately acting like malware. Not even a joke.
Come join the fight against evil, join those who wish to give you control over the shit you own, go ahead and load https://www.fedoraproject.org/ onto a USB and try it out. Most software either has excellent alternatives, or works fine under Wine!
My daily driver.
mine too, although I use Arch on my PC, i use fedora on my laptop (asahi linux ftw!)
Works on apple silicone! Friggin A!
I mean I liked 7. Last good one imo
I’m curious as to how much something like shutup10 helps with that. I was always tempted, but never tried it. I barely touched windows these past few years anyways.
Remember Vista?
Friends don’t let friends drive windows.
I let friends make their own choice. I sport a lovely Fedora and allow them to make their own decisions… Hahaha
Actually its their🇺🇸. Not your, not our. Its their own and you arr kinda like renting it
Who is “their”?
Microsoft?
The bunny is Microsoft and he’s saying ‘our’
I mean bunny should be saying “Mine”
Ah, yes. There should be a toddler meme like this! Hahaha

I understand now. I did read the EULA. Years ago, it was the EULA that caused me to Nope out of windows.
Your description of Microsoft is, quite possibly, the best description on how they operate that I’ve ever read.
The first thing you would do after browsing lemmy would be installing linux because there are many foss enthusiasist and linux users playing around here in lemmy making you switch to linux
*cries in my programs won’t launch in wine*
Which programs?
Paint Tool SAI. After messing up a few times (I thought the C drive was my actual windows HD not wine’s virtual one), I got it installed on wine, but it won’t launch. Other people have got it to work, so maybe it’s just me being a dumb noob.
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4594
I should probably try again with a program that’s less easy to mess up.
Two things:
- Could be Wayland. I had wine troubles in the past because if that
- Have you tried Krita?
I’m too noob to know what either of those things are. I looked them up and I’m still scratching my head lol
Yesterday was only my second time logging onto the Linux box, so I have a lot to learn.
I tried on both wine and playonlinux, but had the same issue both times. So I’ll try a simple text editor or something and see if that works.
I really don’t wanna have to go back to Windows.
So you’re brand new to Linux and you’re already hacking away at something you don’t understand well. Good for you! That’s how you learn 😊.
That being said, getting (as you’re learning) and keeping software running in wine can be frustrating. I’d suggest using an open source alternative if possible. Hopefully the one others recommended is a good fit for you. And a bonus, one less piece of proprietary software you rely on, which imo is always a good feeling.
Good luck, and welcome to Linux!
Thanks, man. Well it’s on its own hd and I don’t have anything important on it, so why not mess around. I’ve been wanting a Linux box since 2000 haha finally got my dream.
Do you reckon it’s worth trying to install any of these? XD
I got notepad++ to install via play on Linux, so I think it’s just this particular program that’s not cooperating.

This is the exact same issue I’m having. In the end I just installed all my art stuff on Windows :(
Kitra is a different drawing program native to linux. Linux also has native text editors, is there a reason you need these specific windows programs or would an alternative work, like gedit instead of windows notepad?
The text editor I’ll try just to see if I’m doing the installation properly, nothing else.
I paid for SAI and I’ve used it for about 15 years. I really love it. My artwork is all saved in SAI format. Worst case, I’ll have to install it on the windows hard drive.
Like the other person commented, I would suggest trying Krita (open source/native painting or graphics program. That isn’t my forte, but my understanding is Krita is a professional grade program that is actually used for professional work.
Edit: I ironically found this: https://docs.krita.org/fr/user_manual/introduction_from_other_software/introduction_from_sai.html
With that said, there is a useful program to help setup Wine called “Bottles”. It’s all graphical, and gives tons of options to tweak to try to get programs running. It has dramatically helped me get done other odd professional type software running.
One long shot thing to try: check the file properties of the program installed on wine, and make sure “executable” is enabled. It’s a handy security thing to prevent random files from hiding malware, but can be a pain to new users.
An extreme solution is running a program in a Windows virtual machine. If you go that route, I highly recommend doing some research. The simplest to me solution I’ve found is Virtualbox, and I believe you can even directly pass USB devices through to the virtual machine, but since of the other solutions are supposed to work better.
What version?

That’s not true. Windows 3.11 was mine. Well… Not mine, because I couldn’t afford it, but you get it. It also couldn’t connect to the internet, so there’s that…
Aaayyy, comrade.
Thank you for dowloading the correct OS, Our Windows.
I think you’ll find it is no longer “My Computer” but now “This PC”
Haha! Good one! I’m going to use that!
I’ve got a worse one. I was using Windows in a VM the other day and got an ad for Xbox controllers. Basically “check out our new controller colors, click on this notification to go buy one.”
Oh, Microsoft…
I am honestly surprised they have not yet made Windows free, at least the most basic “home” version. I guess they must still be making a lot of money by just having come preinstalled on any laptop or pre-built PC.
Oppression breeds rebellion, why relying on a software you have zero control over, that the company that owns it respects you so litle that they pre install adware and spyware, learn to use Linux or BSD, you don’t have to use it all the time, but learn the basics, understand how this machine you use so much works, seize that litle piece of freedom back, and even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.
For sure, and Linux/BSD isn’t that scary. For anyone here who doesn’t think they are smart enough, I’ll give you a hint; even the Linux guru’s ‘Google’ everything. They’re looking up very different things but they’re still searching like the rest of us. If you stick with popular distros there’s always a guide, or a forum post, or a YouTube video that’ll show you how to do almost anything. You don’t even need to install it, you can run most distros, and all the popular ones, off a USB stick. You don’t even need to change anything on your computer to try it. I personally still use Windows for almost everything, but calzone_gigante is right,
even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.
In theory, yes. But not in practice. This is a work computer, and I can’t just turn this stuff off without tripping the xdr. For home computers, I would imagine you are 100% correct, but I’ve been using Linux for years. I’m assuming shush windows (or similar) still works on Win10/11.

I’d expect nothing else from a bunch of vampires. They’ve all but hoovered up all the money and ruined entire generations attempts at wealth building. There’s nothing left but our bodies and precious fluids!
Only linux is “ours”
I swear to god if I have to remove Bing search bar from my desktop one more time…
