No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Don't listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.
If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/
Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn't realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.
Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it'll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in "oobe\bypassnro" and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says "I don't have internet". Click that and make your local account.
If it doesn't work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I've made had me do it twice.
It's not ctrl+shift+f10, but you may need to hold the FN button if your F keys are also media keys. Try restarting the computer if it doesn't work the first time. Does not work with S-Mode Windows

S-mode is cancer. An insult to intelligence and digital sovereignty. So is Windows in general, but I still can't believe they got away with S-mode.
I once encountered a user whose laptop had been in s-mode for 2 whole years. I suggested that they should disable S-mode, and that would allow them to do what they were trying to do much more easily, and without installing random 3rd-party malware from the Windows store. They declined, citing safety concerns. This was a person with an advanced degree, and certainly old enough to know better. Some people should just avoid computers altogether.
