A computer has hardware (your hard drive, memory, screen, processor) and software (a web browser, Discord, apps, etc.). Your operating system is what manages your hardware and software, and provides a user interface for you to interact with. Microsoft Windows, IOS and Android are all types of operating systems. They allow you to run software, change your display settings, connect to the Internet and do anything else that your hardware and software allow.

Linux is an operating system, or more accurately, a collection of operating systems that are free and open source. This means that anyone can take the Linux kernel (the base of the operating system), and create their own distribution, or distro for short. There are dozens of Linux distros out there, each serving different users or different purposes. For this reason, Linux is used on a wide variety of devices. Android on smartphones and tablets, steam OS on gaming handhelds, and the software that powers most smart home appliances, these are all different types of Linux distros!

Who cares, as long as they're not disproportionately represented, which is exactly what's happening with the current class system.

SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I don't think Fortnite is shit. I've never played it, but I have to assume it's popular for a reason. Frankly, I think it would be great if it did run natively on Linux. The more options people have to play the games they want, the better. As Linux gaming continues to become more mainstream, developers will continue to take note to ensure compatibility.

I know you're just trying to bait folks, but I think you can play it on Linux using Xbox cloud gaming.

Arabella Stanton is 11. What do you want to bet she was named after the 2013 Arctic Monkeys song?

I don't even care anymore that George will never finish the books. At this point I wish he would just admit he's given up and stop lying and leading people on.

I was looking for my drill driver the other day and I distinctly remember myself thinking "good luck finding this future me, you asshole." It was in the back of my wife's car for some reason.

Trouble restoring purchases (lemm.ee)
 

I was forced to get a new phone when my last one recently died, and I'm unable to restore my Sync Ultra subscription. I checked the Google play store and it's active until August, but when I try to restore purchases on both of the accounts I use, Sync tells me that it can't find the purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried reaching out to the dev.

Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago? (lemm.ee)
 

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I'm 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn't improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?

What are you going to do, no matter how small, to make the world a little better? (lemm.ee)
 

Lots of people are feeling hopeless and upset right now, and for good reason. It's normal to feel like no matter what you do, things are going to get much worse for a lot of people. Blame, despair and anger are natural reactions, but as the shock of the situation dulls, what's your plan going forward?

Call me naive, but seeing hate have a resurgence makes me want to do more to help the people that are going to suffer the most. I'm going to make a plan to volunteer more of my time and resources to help organizations that need it. I'm going to see if my friends can organize with me to sponsor a migrant family. I may not be able to do much, but my personal way of coping with shitty situations is to try to make the world a little less shitty.

I'm going to try to be kinder and more forgiving with people, and be a better role model for my kids. And I'm going to resist and fight back against hate when I see it.

Lastly, I'm going to be a more supportive friend to the people in my life. And to anyone reading this that feels like this world's gone insane, and you're all alone: you're not. We're still in this together, and I appreciate everything you're doing.
