drivers for software

That's not a thing.

theme brings drivers

Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.

only working on Windows

OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.

Gnome and kde don’t bring drivers

No way, are you sure??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here's the gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?

Wow, this is mindblowing!! Can you teach me more about Linux??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have to ask. Are you sincere?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, I'm not sincere with a person who completely ignored my point that Windows-alike DE doesn't make Linux a viable alternative due to lack of software and hardware support. Stop lecturing people when nobody asked for a lecture.

Such a weird take on that back and forth. I suppose you're not used to saying Incorrect things, and having someone point that out.

Reacting to that with sarcasm, to that extent? I hope you're a teenager still figuring yourself out.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Understood, thank you for your valuable opinion on the subject (no).

Fucking moron still thinks he's in some kind of jury, throwing his assessments left and right lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nah. I just know your type. And it sparks joy that it annoyed you to be called out on your BS. Funny you think this is "some kind of jury", and not basic knowledge you got wrong, while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you. Fix your attitude. It's shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Who do you think you are to educate anyone? Fix your attitude. It's shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't come up with anything original? Tsk-tsk. Plus, I wasn't the one who went out of their way to explain the basic shit you got wrong. ... recurring theme this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You literally wrote you were educating me. Are you stupid?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You literally wrote you were educating me. Are you stupid?

What I wrote was: "while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you"

You're the one who incorrectly assumed that "someone" was referring to me. It doesn't bother me at all whether or not you're rude to me. It annoyed me that you were rude to someone who was being kind. And, since you need to have things explained with extra care, I was referring to Imecht. The one who was trying to educate you, to whom you were rude to.

I hope you start getting it, as this is now boring. So, how about instead of trying to come up with some kind of clever retort, you simply fuck off to somewhere were your arrogance isn't revealed as being that of a little shit. You'll enjoy it more.

Damn man I went to Paris, visited the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. They displayed you as the standard of a clown. Very impressive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think you mistook it for the "large mirror" exhibition. Easy mistake to make.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah, a "no you response". How original.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Last time you made some effort, and it was amusing for once.

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

You should try too.
