Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.
I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.
remember kids, peer pressure is an absolutely valid strategy to convince someone to try something new.

No, I do not like crack.
They best way to stop not liking crack is to start liking it!
That’s clearly the lesson learned from this post.
Just try it. Most people who don’t like crack haven’t even tried it. The single minded obsession of the people who like it mean you should try it
Not licking ass crack?
But… I stopped liking the crack way back when I realized there’s a whole underworld of decent FOSS alternatives to most of the proprietary junk. Now what?!
That’s why we use Linux, free software and no cracks
I do not like it, Sam I Am.
What are you, a loser? Everyone’s using crack. Don’t you want to be cool?
What about cocaine
Why not?
Loser

compared to microsoft, crack gives you a lot more control and cusomisation to fuck your life up on your own terms.

Stop it, a friend already thinks Lemmy is a cult itself 😔
Lemmy - The FOSS, furry LGBT political cult
you forgot communism
Communism is the C in LGBT
Oh right, how could I forget
Are we not?
One of us! One of us! One of us!
You nailed it with the “I haven’t had this much fun with a PC” line. Switching to Linux reawakened my love of using a computer, not only as a tool for creating but as a genuine interest in itself.
Enjoy and welcome!
Now 76% of all the posts in the Fediverse are about Linux!
Welcome!
You gigantic dork, welcome to Linux!

Welcome to the
cultcommunity 💘Wait until you need to back it up or move the drive or something. The difference is mind boggling.
I asked the community if there were tools. And they basically said “tools to direct copy the /home folder to an external drive?..” and I was like WTFitcantjustbethateasy
Nah. No “backup” or “timeline” or “restore point” or other BS. You just back it up, reinstall, and drag it back over (you can do this LIVE even).
One restart will fix out any kinks and you’re basically good to go.
I guess you’ll have to change your username to .sh now.
Or add wine before it.
Or migrate to blender
Please explain. Will it mess with the OS, or why is it worth mentioning? Genuinely curious!
They are making jokes about file types, .exe doesn’t work in windows without a translation layer, such as wine, whereas .sh is a scripting file type
Very true. Exe does not work in Windows, either.
Please explain. Will it mess with the OS, or why is it worth mentioning? Genuinely curious!
.sh is Linux’s version of .bat. There is no .exe as executables typically don’t have a file extension. This is all assuming you know your file extensions in Windows.
Right, I have written a few bash scripts, so I know about the .sh file extension. Though, I’m wondering if changing the username to .sh is problematic and, if so, why? Is it something the OS can’t handle, or would it just be some sort of gimmicky username?
