  • Which OS has more executable files written for it that a regular user would regularly click on to open and not have to do an hr of troubleshooting?

    I use Mint and jump through hoops daily to do things that don’t require reading documentation on Windows.

    These are unfortunately the kind of things that prevents people from changing OSs




  • Me: Hey Linux can you open my .exe for me? Windows just makes me doubleclick the file so it should be easy.

    Linux:

    Executes Under Windows

    If the file is a windows file, it will not run under Linux on it’s own. So if that’s the case, you could try running it under a windows emulator (WINE). If it’s not compatible with wine, then you won’t be able to execute it under Linux.

    Before you can start, you will need to install wine. The steps you need to install wine will vary on the linux platform you are on. You can probably google “Ubuntu install wine”, if for example, you’re installing ubuntu.

    Once you have wine installed, then you’d be able to execute these commands.

    cd abc/ wine info.exe

    Execute Under Linux

    if you know this file to run under linux, then you’ll want to execute these commands:

    Change to your abc directory

    cd abc/

    Then you’ll want to change permissions to allow all users to execute this file (a+x). you could also allow just the user to execute (u+x)

    chmod a+x info.exe

    Launch the program, the ./ tells the command line to look in the current path for the file to execute (if the ‘current’ directory isn’t in the $PATH environment variable.

    ./info.exe






  • China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.

    It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

    Surprisingly, the “liberal tears compilations” and “something about an email server people didn’t understand wasn’t actually illegal” actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.

    I don’t think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.

    I see humanity’s future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.







  • Everyone with eyes can see the Republicans are completely corrupt and primarily responsible.

    Standing by and watching fascism happen while you occupy the influential positions of power that can do something about it is just as bad, because that is only helping the Republicans by blocking resistance.

    Democrats need to stand the fuck up or quit so someone with fucking balls can take their job
