What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
6mon 28d ago in linux@lemmy.mlI did because the laptop I had bought had a brand new processor and not all the drivers were in the kernel version that was in the distro's newest ISO. I had to plug in a keyboard, screen, and network adapter to install the right kernel.
Sounds like they'd like gnome
What is this plant? found in a mountainous area in the Palestinian west bank
1y 2mon ago in plantid@mander.xyz from lemmy.mlThanks for the tip! According to this website, it looks like it's sedum microcarpum, though it looks nothing like the picture on the species' Wikipedia page. That looks more like this plant:
Could they be the same species?
Edit: from an image search it looks like the answer is yes! I wonder why it can look so different.

Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH
1y 9mon ago in linux@lemmy.ml from world.hey.comI want to point out that the changes you are talking about, minimize/maximize buttons and docks, are actually big changes to the workflow of a desktop environment. How hard would it be to remove those buttons and the standard dock on windows? Harder than it is with gnome I think. Gnome isn't windows and it's used differently from windows. It shouldn't be expected to accommodate windows's workflow.
Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep
1y 11mon ago in worldnews@lemmy.ml from www.bbc.comFirst of all his leadership of Fateh and the PLO worked to concentrate power in the hands of his particular opportunist clique. He undermined the Palestinian liberation movement throughout it's history. He undermined, dominated, and excluded the radical sections of Fateh which rejected collaboration with Zionism, who threatened his rule. His agreement to exit Lebanon directly led to the massacre of thousands. His signing onto the oslo accords and his creation of the Palestinian authority with its security and police force built for direct collaboration with the Zionist state and repression of Palestinian resistance signed the west bank away to Israel. Yaser Arafat is the direct cause of decades upon decades of failure of the Palestinian liberation movement, and his legacy continues to haunt us to this very day with the traitorous Fateh party and Palestinian authority.
Yasser Arafat was an Israeli and American puppet who got the west bank into the situation that it's in in the first place. His insidious leadership sowed the seeds of the Palestinian liberation movement's destruction in the west bank and Lebanon, and Fateh's betrayal. Of course he committed the betrayal with his own hands in the end as well.
