I always thought the GNOME icon was a indirect meme about Richard Stallman eating something from his toe

We're you using the correct drivers for your graphics card?

I have been actively using GNOME for about a year now, honestly, it is the best one out of all of the desktop enviorments availible right now. I'm also pretty sure GNOME just got $1M+ to continue working on it. I don't mind the look, it is very simple.

I am trying to say you guys should set it up for them, make it easy for them. It is very easy to just setup a taskbar and let them click on the browser, file explorer, etc.

Be a good neighbor and teach them then. It's not as hard as most people think it is. I've taught my mom, grandma, and friend how to use Linux before. My grandma uses Debian daily and she only had experience with computers by playing those online casino sites. Now she does it in full freedom and now I saved her some extra dough to throw into becoming a online casino addict! Yay grandma!

How do you get image upload enabled btw?

I feel the same way sometimes. I'm a centrist as well, a lot of the people on both sidee in this platform do have extreme takes and have the "You must agree with me or I will ban you" attitude. I wish it was a bit more diverse, whenever I come on Lemmy it is completely saturated with leftists post. I have nothing against people on the left, its just the fact that content is so obviously saturated with it.

I don't think tagging GNU in front of Linux is dumb, people wouldn't care to figure out who they are and what its about if they didn't do that. You have to give credit to both of them. I still would want GNU there, even if I don't say it most of the time. I call it Linux mostly but sometimes I call it GNU plus Linux just to be accurate.

I think its because we aren't allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I've been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don't have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I'm too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren't seeing a lot of content.

Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.

"IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS ITS STILL GNU!"
