That’s not capitalism that’s just greed, one is an economic system the other is human nature that’ll come out in any society
I suppose Stalin’s Russia was also capitalism’s fault somehow
flashgnash@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Distro suggestions for a dumb-dumb who only knows linux through meme osmosis1·4 months agoI agree, elementary was the distro I stuck with longest before I settled on nix
Actual macos ux kinda sucks though in my opinion, when I’ve had to use a Mac I find it gets in my way half the time with the emoji picker pop up or something
Have got kitty and xterm looking identical, multiplexing is done by zellij anyway
I think kitty is a bit snappier but honestly you could switch one out for the other and I probably wouldn’t notice
The difference is nobody knows what the binary blobs are made of
Mint/elementary are good if on windows 10/Mac respectively
What I would say is what is your reason for converting people, because you’re going to end up as permanent tech support this way when they’d have probably been fine with a Mac or something

flashgnash@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Distro suggestions for a dumb-dumb who only knows linux through meme osmosis18·4 months agoMint is one of the best bets for beginners, it’s very similar to windows 10 UI wise by default and generally very user friendly

Ah gotcha, difficult to tell over text and a lot of people here would genuinely respond like that unprovoked
Matter replicators you would hope would bring about post scarcity and the kind of society you see in Star Trek, I have my doubts one would ever be developed without greed as a motivation though
Short of changing human nature I don’t think even with all tthat tech we’d end up being a fair society, people would hoard energy, replicator tech, political power etc (unless it’s so simple people could build them themselves I suppose)
How do you see something like that and your first thought is to respond with hostility
I would make the argument that even under perfectly executed communism space travel is unlikely to end up being the focus

flashgnash@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?404·4 months agoI generally don’t miss anything graphical, once I learn how to do something from the cli I rarely feel the need to do it graphically anymore as it’s usually a lot slower
The obvious one would be Photoshop and paint.net of course but krita does the trick
I’m guessing Firefox’s pdf editor is not sophisticated enough

flashgnash@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•COSMIC Alpha 4 Released For System76's Rust-Based Desktop1·4 months agoThat doesn’t fit the definition of memory leak in my mind, had thought a memory leak was specifically when the program completely loses track of memory
When I was doing it I started from scratch, you can generally keep your home directory intact between distros though, settings and data stay
