Please, help us to better understand how we can effectively funnel reddit users into Lemmy across all demographics, leveraging the average Lemmings advantages like expertise in automation, ai and bots?

What tactics/strategies do you propose? Can we automate the process? Can we somehow add ai to make it more fashionable?

Best I can do is talk about Linux.

I wish 😭

It refuses to install... I got a dell vostro 3468 running on legacy BIOS. I'm coming from windows and there's an NTFS partition full of data I'm trying to preserve...

The guided partitioning errors out(usually runs out of space, and no packages can continue installing so they throw errors), and using the expert partitioning throws a couple of grub errors at the end when it's installing grub

It was really good when I last tried it on another device

You can start out with something light, and then install packages as you go.

I generally do a barebones install and then install individual packages. By default a lot of packages are installed - most of them you don't need.

And also checkout geckolinux . It is a lighter version of Opensuse and has the calmares installer. (Tumbleweed is the Gecko rolling version)

The MBR layout was the issue

When I wiped the drive, everything fixed itself!

Loving tumbleweed so far

The archetypical answer should be obvious

Real OGs peer beyond the *nix veil and graduate to TempleOS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Baby's first OS. The actual OGs graduate back to SLS.

Je peux peut-Γͺtre aider en suggΓ©rant une deuxiΓ¨me choix ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Un petite peu.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So more OpenSuSE, gotcha.

That's that Windows program the nerds use, yeah? Do you like it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's a program? Is that a kind of app?

The thing you use to access the facebooks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That works for me

This is the way

Then do that. There are many Linux communities on Lemmy, participate in them and try to make them a better place by contributing useful comments and posts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He's making a joke, because if you look at /all communities it can be like half posts from various Linux communities at times
