  • 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







  • My name is also a form of Jesus and I 100% beleive Religion is a historical control mechanism to make communities self police before we had the resources for modern law enforcement.

    It’s no longer a useful tool for humanity and its governments, it’s a dangerous weapon left lying around for any con man to abuse.

    You can do whatever hobby you want in your own home with consenting adults.

    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

    There’s no free speech issue here.

    You can practice religion.

    That’s not what I said.

    You are not a victim.

    You don’t get to have a tax exempt public building where you get to contort the minds of your neighbors into killing minorities.

    No more organized religion.

    Do it in your house, keep your cult shit out of our public spaces and don’t indoctrinate children.

    You are not a victim
