Linux is gay because it can't handle telemetry like Windows

I'll have you know Ubuntu connects to Amazon just fine

Jokes apart, I don't know where you ended up asking for help, but I had no trouble in getting answers here in fedora group..

This,like any other copypasta, was initially a rant on an IRC

Basically there should be replies in between the rant but I just compiled it into one block

Ah, got it. I'd agree with the post but not completely. Yes, Linux isn't so warm with newbies but then again, many of them ask very very ridiculous questions. I mean, that's not even the problem, some peeps think they are entitled.. They'll start ranting if they get no replies.. Now that is very frustrating to see. Some don't know how to use google where they'd have much better luck with.

Man, telegram dark theme is also good if you ask me.

All of us were a newbie and asked very ridiculous questions

How can I use Microsoft Word on Linux?

Now, if someone asked that to me, I'd just turn around and go.

How can I use Microsoft Word on Linux?

QEMU

There is online office

QEMU

Always fun when they look into this and find out what it does.

This. This is what I meant, thank you for the wonderful example ?

There is online office

Not for long. 2016 was the last one. Microsoft are all in with Office 365

Office 365 is available through a web browser AFAIK

Yeah I've tried it some days ago and it works

Yes like a good little SaaSS

also, I would rather explain what alternatives are available, but that's just me

People don't really give a damn about alternatives. Unless you just give them a machine with the alternative preinstalled

WPS office is known to be compatible with MS Office

Because it's just as proprietary

Or use libreoffice if you don't care about compatibility

AFAIK even libreoffice is, isn't it?

I hope we are not that bad here. ?

No, it really not

Technically Microsoft are ones who don't care since they don't follow their own standards with docx

I think the best solution is TeX :D

NO

Far from best

A standard document format shared by MS and other parts of the world is not available in the foreseeable future, I believe

cus office accounts for a large proportion of MS's income?

cus office accounts for a large proportion of MS's income?

that's it, but also as far as I know .doc files were practically a memory dumps from MS Word, so it's not like they were designed to be opened by anything else than the original problem; and that was the usual way things worked in the early 90s because of performance reasons

most distros

distros > stars

Hi

distros > stars

Number of distros > Number of stars ?

Hi @asnarario

hello everyone any one using Akira ??

https://github.com/Alecaddd/Akira

nope. never. i thought it might have had something to do with my favourite anime though. now I'm disappointed

also, I would rather explain what alternatives are available, but that's just me

LibreOffice

What DM does everyone here use?

if any at all, of course

Direct Message?

Display Manager, sorry

Like gdm, lightdm?

If so, GDM.

I'm looking for an alternative to gdm because I don't like how hard it is to customize it

hello everyone any one using Akira ??

What happened bro?

I don't use one. I log in the tty and then launch tmux

I'm looking for an alternative to gdm because I don't like how hard it is to customize it

Probably sddm, if you have kde?

or lightdm if you want something lightweight

Nah. I went to KDE yesterday and it's just not working out, so back to gnome I guess.

or lightdm if you want something lightweight

It's canonical maintained, otherwise kewl...

or lightdm if you want something lightweight

Doesn't lightdm not support wayland?

To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo now also maintain their own version of LightDM now

To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo now also maintain their own version of LightDM now

Oh, good!

what lightdm is canonical maintained?

Mmhmm

Gentoo have been taking badly maintained apps that people use and maintaining them properly for a while now. They do it with some other canonical stuff, and their own version of OpenRC

What happened bro?

nothing bro just asking if anyone is using it and how was their experience with akira

ERROR: S client not available

nothing bro just asking if anyone is using it and how was their experience with akira

Okay ?

Also, does anyone have experience with migrating init system in Fedora, or is that a bad idea?

Why not just use systemd?

Mmhmm

What's wrong with canonical?

What's wrong with canonical?

A lot of their business practices, and a CEO who doesn't follow their COC.

Oh uh are there any articles on that?

What's wrong with canonical?

Everything i guess.

Everything i guess.

Why not just use systemd?

I'm not a fan of the way they make their service files unnecessarily complicated. Why couldn't they just let me use shell scripts like everyone else? Why do I have to learn yet another DSL?

What replacement is there for systemd?

What replacement is there for systemd?

Sysv, runit..?

Oh uh are there any articles on that?

Google, prolly.

Well I think Fedora is not a good system to change init

Oh uh are there any articles on that?

Their problems are probably better documented than their distro itself.

There is Gentoo with OpenRC as recommended init And Devuan that even gives you a choice

Their problems are probably better documented than their distro itself.

I assumed they wouldn't be as forward about it.

Sysv, runit..?

I don't know about these but I'll look into it.

Nah, some tech reviewers/ sites are...

I don't know about these but I'll look into it.

Kewl

I don't know about these but I'll look into it.

But fedora probably isnt the best distro for playing with alternate init... (Do look for distros that have the specific init managers ootb first, look at Distrowatch for that)

The best place to change inits is gentoo

I use void, which uses runit, which is probably my favourite init system

They support 4 [citation needed] iirc

gentoo?

Yes

gentoo?

OpenRC (default) Systemd Epoch Runit

So far, I've used systemd on basically every mainstream OS I've ever used, BSD Init on OpenBSD (surprise, surprise), OpenRC on Gentoo and Alpine and runit on Void

Upstart

Never heard of it
