- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

ROFL The scary distro that can take hours to implement, precise specific changes declaratively. Whereas, Mint is not a terrible little distro.
Nice! That's awesome.

That was me yesterday..
Someone was trying to play wow on "a laptop my dad gave me"
8gb ram, 620 Intel graphics, someone popped into our channel and said "whostosay, we need you"
When I got into their channel the guy said "wait is this the guy"
Fuckin rad. That little shit box didn't want to run it, but we made it run it.
It already had fedora, props to pops
how does a game released two years after windows fucking xp not scale down to 8gb of ram
Yeah like that other guy said, it's not quite the same game, textures are way larger, the issue was more in the integrated 620 graphics, but it ran. Shittily, but it ran.
Years of expansions after that initial release.

"Explain one more time how fdisk works"
You see, you change one character and save to prevent your PC from booting.
Okay, but does this potato run Arch?
maybe. I will bring my laptop to work and try to show him some options with ventoy
Snapshots are cool but you should teach them how to maintain a real backup: a separate partition and/or drive to store their files and a copy of the operating system partition to restore to in case of bork.
Have 2 dist
Cool
