The capitalist sits and laughs on their piles of gold while enjoying their immense power, one day in a not so distant future they will hold no power and their wealth will not save them from the righteous anger of the workers they once oppressed

Ideally new Linux users would accept that things are different and we are starting to see it. Tiling window managers are gaining popularity especially with the announcement of the first true tiling (or rather dynamic) desktop environment (Cosmic). I think it would also be helpful if Linux users explained why things are different, sometimes its a lack of support (HDR, VRR, VR, etc) but sometimes like with anticheat there are good reasons for the absence. In addition the problem is that a significant amount of people want a “non-microsoft windows”. The solution is simple, people should view Linux in a way like MacOS (some windows apps don’t run but it has plenty of exclusive apps that don’t run on Windows).

Thats absolutely untrue, I see people complain all the time “Linux doesn’t look exactly like Windows therefore its not polished” or “Linux doesnt support every Windows app therefore its not ready”. When Linux users keep saying “Linux is a Windows replacement” or even implying it by suggesting it as an alternative to Windows 11 it creates expectations that can never be met. In addition im frustrated not because Windows users demand more options but because they demand less options. They demand one distribution to be “the Linux OS”, one singular desktop, and one way of doing things. Fundamentally when Windows users come in expecting Windows they have a Windows mindset.

What if on the first boot the tiling could be explained by a welcome app (kinda like what KDE has), it would explain all of the shortcuts and then you could bring up all of the shortcuts with a simple shortcut. I personally use Sway and I think i3 based WMs are better, I believe on pretty much all i3 based WMs its as simple as super + r for resizing mode and esc to leave.

How exactly is tiling confusing? If people were willing to accept that Linux functions differently then tiling can became just another thing to learn. Its objectivity more efficient then stacking so why not?

As a Linux user this and posts like this piss me off. Linux is NOT and WILL NEVER be a replacement for any other operating system (except maybe Minix). By implying Linux is the same or similar enough to Windows you bring in Windows users who except everything to be the same. Fundamentally thats not a good thing for anyone, Windows users get confused and maintainers are encouraged not to deviate from Windows even in ways that make the OS better (for example KDE not going all in on tiling to appease Windows users). In my option Linux shouldn’t be recommended to anyone. Linux software maintainers should focus on the core Linux userbase and people who want their OS to look and function exactly like Windows/MacOS should just use Windows or MacOS.

Because posts like these are fundamentally misleading, Linux isnt a Windows replacement nor is it meant to be (it also wouldn’t make sense since Linux is older then Windows, at least the NT kernel). Honesty if you’re trying to make Linux as similar to Windows as possible just use Windows.

But its also a form of tearing down hierarchies (in this case racial hierarchies perpetuated by capitalism), I can see that being left wing

I love how we get all the credit for nearly everything good :3

To be fair oppressive power structures is basically what defines capitalism

Agreed, considering VLCs functionality it can look ugly as hell

I used VLC before and ill continue using VLC

For some reason Sweeney and Torvalds are working together, that I find the most shocking

Personally I dont hate them, anyone who takes lemmy that seriously should touch grass. Yeah obviously they’re a troll but arguably they’re the funny type of troll.

Its hard to overstate my satisfaction

Debian fans talking about how “rock stable” it is after I smash their computer with a rock:

You just assumed my knowledge of leftism, I used the term Socialist because its a term that applies to all of them (on the left side).

Then you would know not everyone on the left side is communist

As long as the people yearn for a truly free future socialism will never be finished. Liberalism will lead the workers to their graves while the capitalist nods. So no, I will never stop my rhetoric and I will never stop promoting freedom. If the workers being liberated offends you so much maybe you should vote for Trump

Ah yes, genocide and imperialism are just international peace and order :3
