    The last thing someone in this state of mind needs is a reminder that this is an easy possibility. A family member drove truck until someone did this to him. He had to go on comp because the PTSD prevented him from driving ever again and to add insult he got addicted to painkillers from his back injury.

    This comic is in bad taste for both making light of the subject of suicide and painting the ill person in such an unsympathetic way. If anyone out there is having dark thoughts at least have the decency not to ruin someone else’s life in the process. Ideally, get help, but don’t do this.







  • Every piece of software that doesn’t come with the default repositories, which in many distros includes the ‘niche’ software of vidcard drivers. Samba network sharing v1, disabled in both Windows and Linux, is a simple double click of the app feature to reenable in Windows. In Linux, you have to change entries in at least 2 files, assuming you can find correct instructions in the first place.


  • TBF it does have a glaring lack of automation for way too much of the basics. Even hand holding distros like Mint will have you using the terminal for something windows just does with a double click.

    FTR I prefer Linux over Windows but I still lose it every time installation instructions for some app have 4 pages of commands for the CLI instead of just running an installer that automates the BS.








  • Whenever I need to refuel my rage tank I think of the fact that the Nvidia Settings window cannot be resized AND it’s dimensions are significantly larger than some key display settings like, oh I don’t know 720p . This means you often can’t choose certain settings or APPLY button because it is pushed below screen.

    Being able to comfortably change screen resolution is that fucking windows ONE JOB and it fails spectacularly.

    Edit: FTR it seems like recent versions do make the window resizable with actual scroll bars but for a long time this basic concept eluded them, and any old windows installs get f’d with this until you update.
