1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Linux users install chrome now...?

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 145 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well they already had firefox installed it seems

[–] beta_tester@lemmy.ml 48 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's why you don't need to install another one 😘

Ahem Tor

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 79 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.

Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.

[–] 0ddysseus@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Imagination? That's bloat.

it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

But... Firefox is always already installed.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 14 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

Literally no Linux user ever....

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 27 points 10 months ago (12 children)

I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

They already have that, as you can see in the clip.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 62 points 10 months ago

Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?

[–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF

These days I wouldn't dare to even chrome my windows.

[–] Chriswild@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pineapple is delicious on pizza thank you.

Chrome is literally the same shit as Chromium but with (more) spyware. Like, there are no other added features. And some people still choose to download Chrome. WHY!?!?!?

Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.

Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?

Literally Firefox in the dock...

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 23 points 10 months ago (12 children)

I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.

Use the app store like you do on your phone

And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!
