    I never understood the premise of that porn. There is a guy sitting in a metro train with his fully errect cock and people are not doing anything. The lady sits next to the guy who has a tank top but nothing else? Also why does he have a fully errect cock? Imagine the tension and embarrassment you’ll get in that situation. No one can maintain a fully errect cock in that space. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

      This guy is invisible to most people. Only this girl (and as later revealed in the third episode another black girl) can see him. Hence the temptation

      I still remember about a woman recording a man masturbating towards her. She immediately reported the incident to train authorities and fled for safety. The man was suspicious, he should get help.

    Honestly the only people I try to “convert” to Linux are my friends who already hate Windows, which is most of them these days.

    Sadly a lot of them either still regularly use programs we can’t get running on Linux yet (okay it’s mostly Fortnite…). Or they’re not the most tech literate people and switching to a whole new OS seems like an impossible task.

    Only gotten two peeps on board the Linux train and they both had previous experience with it from school or work.

    I just gave them facts. If they take that as me trying to convince them they might want to evaluate why facts sway them more than propaganda does.

      I evangelize Linux irl by simply keeping my computer always tuned up, up to date and working well. It’s inevitable that someone’s windows or mac shitbook will do something shitty and people will pay attention to me just for not having the same problems as them. For example the other day by brother wanted to watch spongebob, his macbook wouldn’t let him connect to the TV so I plugged it right in to Arch Linux and it worked like a charm. Sometimes the superiority of Linux simply speaks for itself.

      I use Fedora (btw) and I always want to recommend Linux, although most people I interact with irl are too tech illiterate so I don’t actually ever end up recommending it. :'(

    Linux is great until you want to update your graphics card or play games. Sure it has gotten much better, but you can’t deny it’s a massive hassle for the majority of new users.

    I didn’t realize how hostile the Linux community is. I have an Nvidia card and I’ve never had a pleasant experience trying to make it work.

          It’s actually easier to keep your graphics drivers updated on Linux vs windows, at least with AMD cards. All I have to do is type “sudo dnf upgrade” or if you’re lazy click the “update” button and my system and GPU drivers are up to date.

          Also in regards to games, basically everything on steam works flawlessly and that will satisfy the majority of desktop gamers

          It’s not. I still dual boot but boot more into Linux now as I do want to get away from Windows. The one thing that always held me back was gaming. There’s still games that don’t run but those tend to be ones that use specific anti cheat software. Certainly all the games I run work fine.

          If Linux couldn’t play games the Steam Deck would be a very flawed concept!

          My guy, stop lying. Swapping GPUs is literally just that, I had to do nothing else. Upgrading my drivers also happens with the system updates. And pretty much all my games run either out of the box, or with very little tinkering (typically with very fresh releases), which is not really hard if you know how to do basic shit even in Windows.

      The graphics drivers just update via repo in the store, like everything else, automatically.

      Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.

      Granted i haven’t run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia’s website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.

      I’ll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it’s steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.

          Unfortunately, I have multiple Nvidia cards. That’s the issue. My Linux machines don’t use Windows, at all.

      Both of those things are pretty easy now days. Proton seriously changed the game, and AMD is the graphics card of choice for Linux because they don’t actively hate free software like Intel and Nvidia

        Wait, aren’t the Intel graphics drivers open source and part of the kernel as well?

        It’s just NVIDIA that refuses to play ball

      Graphics cards update through the system updater, and any game that doesn’t have kernel anticheat will generally just work without any extra effort from the user.
