If you still have a PS2, about 9 months ago someone created a new exploit to softmod the console without the need of any special hardware. You can play “backup” PS2 game ISOs from a usb stick, burned DVD-R, internal HDD, or network file server. It’s pretty awesome.
just fuckin’ @ me next time sheesh 😤
Ye got a problem with the most idiot-friendly linux distro? You can talk with these :arm-L::capybara-theorist::arm-R:
Who the hell use that?
Look, every software with linux support just tells you “for ubuntu users click here” in the top of the page as first option. None of them mention Gentoo, nor Arch nor any of the fuckton flavors y’all people use.
hey gramma can you download this program you just need to open up the terminal and type some obscure code into it.
How is this worse than having to go to a different website for every software you want to install, then having to download an execute file and hoping that it is not malicious, and then having to navigate an installation wizard program? And then each program has its own uniquely obnoxious updater tool.
Software repositories are awesome. Having over 50,000 trusted software packages from a single trusted source. Never having to worry that your software installer contained malware. Never having to navigate an installer wizard. Being able to install software just by typing the name of the software. Updating all your software with one updater tool.
Windows users wish they had a software repository, but a windows software repository would be illegal because most popular windows programs forbid software redistribution. The closest thing that windows users have is chocolatey or ninite.
When Gramma was of working age, that was how computers worked.
If you wanted a gui, you manually launched windows or whatever from the console.
When gramma was of working age, she had probably never even seen a computer.
as if your average linux user wouldn’t use the terminal to change the desktop background.
