    I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 58 points 3 weeks ago

    Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

    I can, I just prefer windows

    The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

    Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

    Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

    Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

    Mac owners have money? more like had money

    [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

    The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

    [–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

    [–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

    Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

    [–] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    [–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

    Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

    [–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

    I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

    A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

    Shoutout to the 3DS custom theme shop for having a Tuxkart theme

    What about Free-BSD?

    [–] waz 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

    [–] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on

    [–] waz 6 points 3 weeks ago

    Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.

    [–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

    Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!

    [–] kbal@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago

    Windows users have regrets

    Mac users have stockholm syndrome

    Linux users have a computer

    Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

    [–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

    There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

    [–] grubbyweasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

    Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

    TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989

    [–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.

    I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.
