From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Free version only contains certain characters

Buy loot boxes for a chance to unlock new characters or even the coveted interrobang ‽

Uses Linux.

Uses phone camera.

And this is why people make fun of us.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Hey at least statistically the phone is running a Linux derivative

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

The other letters are DLC, or you can grind them out in this season's font battlepass.

Had the same issue with openSUSE in virtualbox. turning 3d acceleration off fixed it for me if it helps. Still wondering tho why it did.

[–] ch4rlie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'll try this in a bit, I think it might work as I didn't have 3d acceleration on originally, and everything was working

They couldn't read your comment, unfortunately. All they saw on their screen was:

P_______e_n i_ ___ _ _s

Edit: damnit lemmy removes extra spaces

I've seen this somewhere, I believe you installed some updates. Reboot the machine and it'll come back, iirc

Lol I thought this is a shitpost

[–] ItsPlasmaSir@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Its almost certainly a VirtualBox issue. I would suggest changing the graphics controller to one of the other options. I have my Linux VMs set to VMSVGA as that has had the fewest bugs.

If it makes you feel any better, VirtualBox 7 has had quite a few regressions specifically with the graphics stack and has caused problems with all of my VMs. My Windows 11 VM only rendered a black screen until 7.0.10 and all my other VMs are still using old versions of Guest Additions because of the instability with the newer versions.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Reboot it. This has happened a couple of times in Plasma updates over the years, seems to fix itself with a reboot.

Do you have 3D accel enabled?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I don't feel so good, Mr Tux..

Had the same issue with Plasma Wayland in QEMU but I never found a solution. Toggling anti-aliasing sometimes helped, temporarily

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe this? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364766

Yes I stole this from a site about things that have been read.

[–] Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip 2 points 2 years ago

If not that than very similar.

[–] Tiuku@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Sorry I have no idea how to help you.
Just a well meaning thanks for an amusing picture :D

[–] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Did you remember to include them in your build recipe? ;)

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

You are very disorganized, OP.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to hand wash them otherwise this happens. They use a super inferior glue to stick the letters on. Careful hand washing can keep it clean, but eventually the letters will just slide off.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You have to hand wash them otherwise this happens.

But never forget to turn it inside out first.

Are you by chance using a language that uses non-latin glyphs extensively?

If so it could be a font issue

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Notice Search... Is displayed just fine. Not sure what that points to.
