Yeah i know your right… I just don’t have it in me, chronical lurker :(

When you are happy about a repost of an old meme, because at least it was good, it tells a lot about the state of the Lemmy meme scene…

In Debian KDE KDEConnect works well. Dont know about suse but can imagine it works there too

EDIT: grammar

This is only correct if the GUI works. Never had a Debian install where not at least one KDE setting was broken and needed to be fixed from GUI.

Also if you want to run things like team speak you can hardly escape the command line

First of all Linux isn’t a company, but the name some dude named Linus gave his code he put for free on the internet.

Most modern Linux distros are still not run by companies, that’s why they don’t force the data collection, ads, ai etc down your throat.

That said: Linux is made from thousands of interlocking programs, scripts, services and libraries, made mostly by some guys or gurls in their free time. So with a lot of stuff you need to fit it to your needs, as granular customization is to troublesome to have working out of the box for every different usecase there could be. So with most stuff you should not be afraid to learn the basics of terminal commands (packet manager, editor, foldermanagment)

Some OS like Ubuntu and manjaro do a lot for you, but if you have weird double monitors, you may need to manually do some stuff.

If you want as much as possible easy install options I would go with manjaro - then you can install everything where users made an AUR (arch user repository) package. Check if they have all programs you want, if not look for alternatives.

If you want a more stable system but with a bit less possibilities, go for Ubuntu, debian, popOS or something like that.

Some things may never run, for example for my music daw(ableton) with low latency and not native support on Linux or the htc vive wireless (where there isn’t a driver for the PCI card for Linux) I keep a win machine around. Day to day use is on debian on my side

Oh you again, your the best of them all.

Soo let me recap:

You criticise anything about russia (like saying not everything they do is automatically good) --> you carry water for the USA

The man says the people outside the west need to be liberated.

I would agree, I would even say the people inside the west needs to be liberated. The world needs to be liberated.

But he thinks, the people in Russia or China are already liberated or even are the liberators.

Did it ever occur to you, that those countries are just imoerialisric states with a bad communist mask?

Or is your liberty one where you get put in jail or worse if you are gay, where the working class still works for rich old man and gets almost nothing, where ideological power is maintained through prisons and shootings?

Oh you are now so engaged you follow me to other threads? That’s nice of you.

I never talked about Hungary or Nazis (at least not before you guys insisted on that topic because that’s a fight u practised)

My talking point was, and still is, "tankie doesn’t mean " people I don’t like " in my part of the world and most online debates. Sure there are people who use it this way, but they are far from the majority in my experience.

Even after I told you why I am here, you keep on building more stawmans to entertain me. Very nice of u ^^

Oh I think there are a lot of people who get called woke and are right. Your rhetorical trap is not reality, its trying to get me to say something which confirms your prejustices.

Remember, my claim, forwhich you guys are fighting me here was “tankie” has other than “someone I don’t like”

You attacked me verbally for saying that, and then realized, that you can’t win this argument, cause in reality you agree with me so you try to shift the battlefield to a discussion you can win (and kept pressing really hard with your Hungarian Nazis ^^)

That’s your rhetorical strategy, it has nothing to do with reality ;)

Thats such an obvious strawman, i dont think i need to answer that ;)

Well saying tankies support using tanks against civilians gets you down voted on lemmygrad.

No tankies here though, all just libs propaganda

/kappa

Oh i totaly agree that communists were often the strongest force against fascists. Don’t have to like Stalin to be a communist nor to be antifascist though

And everyone who don’t likes Stalin is a Nazi

/kappa

Hm interesting, seems to dedependent on your locality. Where I live, there are lots of communists, anarchists materialists and general left at university’s, factories and unions, but there is also a (very small) group of communists, who loves stalin,think everything that Russia does is automatically good (mostly while denieng they are a imperialist state) and everyone who doesn’t treat Lenin’s and Stalin’s books like sacred texts which need to be followed down to the letter (instead of valuable contributions to a scientific debate) is wrong by definition and need to be shut down. All new Marxist philosophy’s (material feminism, postkolonial study’s, frankfurter schule, etc. Pp.) get denied the right to exist, people who write or work in other communist schools of thinking then them are called a counter revolutionary and spat on and threatens to get killed in the revolution. Furthermore they make it very clear, that everyone who hasn’t exactly the same opinion as them is not welcomed in their communist utopia and would get put in to gulags (yes they use that word with pride) or directly killed by them/the state

Those people are get called tankies by the much bigger rest of th e communist/Marxist scene

So when people over here self describe as tankies and wear that label with pride (happend under this post)I was quite puzzled.

At least here its not a general slur against communists (like queer were for homosexuals) which can be turned around easily, it is a very specific description of a very specific group of people in the communists scene

So the people who call others tankies are almost never liberals (they don’t even know that word, they just say communists and think this is enough of insult), it’s mostly other Marxists/communists or more or less close ideology’s like anarchists or socialists

The stawman is strong in this one

Cause everybody who dislikes tankies is a liberal?

Tankie means you approve when a communist state uses military/tanks against its own people… Not against a Nazi state. I would reconsider if you really want to wear that label with pride…
