Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I mean, the Windows 10 background was actually a real photograph, not CGI, which was pretty impressive.

    I see Firefox, I see VLC. Things aren’t too bad.

    [–] YonatanAvhar@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Also Edge, Chrome, and Adobe Acrobat

    yeah, it seems like the big anime corporation who produced that background can't really make up it's mind...

    I used a wallpaper for quite a while and then KDE picked the same one to make it one of the defaults.

    So, kinda?

    I'm a "clean install a LTS release every two years" kind of guy. I keep the default wallpaper because it's a reminder of what release I'm on. Kind of like a changing of the seasons type of thing.

    You can also be lazy and just change the wallpaper every two years instead of a clean install.

    It cost five hundred thousand dollars to photograph this background... for 12 seconds.

    Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe... maybe. I've yet to meet one that can outsmart photo.

    The W11 SE laptop I bought this week had an energy drink ad as its default background. It was a genuine shock to see how bad things were getting over there in the Microsoft world.

    [–] 10-volt@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That was probably the OEM that put that there, not Microsoft, I hate windows OEMs as they always ship garbage with their devices

    [–] Moldy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

    I just checked, you were right. Lenovo were the ones who pulled that stunt.

    [–] Onionizer@geddit.social 3 points 1 year ago

    I just heard that Win11 Solitaire has ads

    [–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

    I care so little about background that I just set it to black. But I just checked and at some point in the last few weeks or maybe even months it switched back to the standard one. Stange...

    [–] Discola@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

    Yes, the giant corporation I work for ...

    [–] blanketswithsmallpox@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    The power of Wallpaper Engine, bitch.

    [–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    I use the windows 10 background on Ubuntu so I can worship Microsoft while using Linux.

    [–] slush@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

    I see a terminal. Arch master race
