            1. A newcomer probably doesn’t even know what X11 and Wayland are, let alone the differences between the two.

            2. Linux Mint has planned experimental wayland support for Christmas 2023.

        Nice enjoy amego. Mint was my second choice. Great choice of distro BTW very easy to use make sure to install flatpaks and neofetch sadly I went back to windows my pc hardware has poor driver support on Linux maybe eventually once I’ve upgraded my gpu then I’ll return to my sacred Linux mint

        Based! Now you’ll have to change your username too, in Linux our programs don’t have the .exe extension :)

          i guess you could just get an ELF binary and rename it to something.exe but idk why you’d do that

            Wouldn’t be a good idea since it’ll conflict if you install wine.

        Unfortunately not, that’s why lemmy never took off. All the people that came here from reddit slowly left once they realized you have to be a FOSS/Socialist/anti-car/vegan. Only the ones that matched at least one of those really stuck around.

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least there is a lot less brain dead shit all over the front page without a bunch of normal people up in this bitch

            I mean I would prefer the “brain dead shit” in my opinionmost of the shit I see here is just bitching and moaning or copious amounts of nfsw. No cute puppy pictures. No wholesome memes. No actually funny shitposts. Mostly bitching and moaning,“demanding a violent revolution” lots of tankies here nfsw and heavily opionated extremely unfunny in my opinion comedy is subjective i dont find these funny but you may domemes. All this hostility is almost certainly affecting lemmys growth heck only reason I’m here is because of lemmy shitposts and the many other nicher communities I like

            I mean kinda? There’s still some brain dead shit and I honestly think the reading comprehension of the average commenter is lower than reddit.

              I like the fact that it’s different brain-dead from Reddit. Then I feel there is balance: dead brains on both sides.

              Of course sometimes you spot the living among the dead, but if I want genuine sense I’m a big fan of [i]rl.

        • @Vespair@lemm.ee

          Also older. The average Lemmy user is much older than the average reddit user. Which I would love if it stuck just to averages, but I don’t think we’ve got a very wide range here; we need some new blood/youthful energy if we want this to thrive and grow. But as it is now, I think Lemmy is a kind of a haven for FOSS old heads for a bit but doesn’t have a lot of fuel in the tank for the future, unless we see a bit of a cultural shift here.

          • unhappy_grapefruit 2
            -3•8 months ago

            Lemmy almost certainly needs a “cultural shift” it’s way to toxic. It’s probably more toxic than heroshima. one thing I’ve noticed myself is there’s way way to many tankies. And some members of the linux community aren’t so welcoming to people whom use other operating systems

              Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term “tankie” being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

              I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it’s on another level here on Lemmy.

              Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie

              edit: small typo

              I agree there absolutely is toxcity here, particularly if you go against the majority and popular views. Lemmy users often claim and post about being so much better than reddit users when they’re the fucking same

              • unhappy_grapefruit 2
                1•8 months ago

                Yup exactly I agree with this. I think people are entitled to an opinion and that includes tankies. But the way alot of “lemmings” go about discussing there views and opinions is worse than reddit in my opinion for an instance there’s alot of folk assholes in my opinion raiding Christian communities downvoiting them and commenting on them I’m not Christian myself but I personally see this as despicable behavior. Especially considering there people consider themselves to be the “tolerant” one’s

                  Especially considering there people consider themselves to be the “tolerant” one’s

                  Where does this come from? Because the only people I’ve ever heard use the term “tolerant left” were people on the right.

                  This is all just decorum tone-policing, a way conservatives and those in the status quo quiet dissent by holding oppositional voices to a higher standard than they hold themselves. As a leftist, I believe in equity, I believe in free expression, and I believe in not judging others by their intrinsic and immutable qualities such as skin tone, familial background, and appearance. But I also absolutely believe in judging people on the defining characteristics they choose for themselves: their words, their actions, and their beliefs. I’m left as fuck, but I’m not going to tolerate hate, or exploitation, or evilness; don’t call me fucking tolerant.

                  To that note, you’ll notice religion (in terms of belief, not background; there are some cases where this muddy) falls squarely in the “what I believe” section, meaning that is the kind of thing we should judge a person’s character based on. And tbh, since Christianity, especially Western popular evangelical Christianity isn’t exactly a neutral or non-impactful influence on the world, why should it be spared legitimate criticism? If we leftists believe in building a better world by repairing or tearing down and replacing broken systems for the sake of the betterment of mankind, why is that particular system (which again, is not neutral on non-impactful in influence) supposedly off-limits? Why are you okay with us raging against all of the other machines oppression but that one? Why are you okay with the righteous work of changing minds and educating others against governmental structures but not religious ones?

                  Somewhere down the line conservatives tricked leftists into thinking that “don’t judge people for their skin and background” should stretch to “don’t judge people for the literally insane shit that they believe despite the fact that the insane belief will literally inform all of their choices, both legislatively and personally,” and it is absolutely fucked that so many leftists have fallen for it.

                  Don’t judge people for what they are; do judge people for what they do, what they say, and what they think.
