1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

    I just got a real bad malware on my windows PC and I'm legit considering using Linux as a response. What's the best into to someone who isn't a programmer but understands computers relatively well enough?

    [–] Im_old@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    Starting out I'd say linux mint with a cinnamon desktop.

    Sadly "Wine is not a container" doesn't make for a good acronym.

    I haven't run a Linux machine in years. Has wine improved or was I just not savvy enough to get things to run on it?

    [–] turmacar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    It's gotten significantly better since ~2010 or so when I was first struggling with it. Valve developing Proton on top of it definitely didn't hurt even if that in particular is more games focused.

    Wine has gotten pretty good, but mostly for games rather than traditional applications.
