I meant through a graphical user interface. Was saying in view of an average user.

Although it’s true that I wasn’t aware of this commands existance when writing

There are many different signals the OS sends to applications which are kinda like “Can you kill yourself?” or “Please kill yourself” or “I will kill you” to close it. In computer teminology, there is “close”, “terminate” and “kill” types of signals. These are used so that applications can have time to perform closing tasks (like saving) when neceassary and if they misbehave, just “kill” it.

Now both windows and linux have these types of signals. In fact every OS has it.

I beleive this is the reason this meme exists:
When the user tries to shut a app in windows (throught close button or task manager) windows will wait and not give any option to immediately kill the app. Hence some apps don’t close even after using end task. Only if the app freezes for some time will it give the option for force quit, no other way (edit: it exists). In linux, its the same as windows and limux waits for app to close. But the difference is that option to kill is available anytime in linux and basically gives the user full control. Although kill option in linux may be hidden as a way for users not to use it unless necassary as applications may not like it.

Shutdown process of both OS is same, they wait for all apps to shut by semding “please close” signal and if they misbehave, option to “shutdown anyways” will be shown to the user, basically killing all apps.

The meme is not correct and is just a steorotype of different OSes. This steorotype comes from how people normally experinece different OS culture and practices. Both OSes have same process of managing apps. Both OSes will wait for process to close if it freezes and give option to user to force quit.
SIGKILL in the meme is coreect only for the right panel of the meme and the left panel is actually a SIGTERM (or something else which means “please close”, don’t remember)

The only thing the meme should emphasis is how the user is given full control to do in linux (even deleting the kernel) while windows is careful to not let users do something stupid.

Edit: Killing apps in windows can be done on demand through cmd using taskkill command

Avoid trying to “trick” someone into privacy, because that leads to bad outcomes down the road.

Privacy is a choice

This is something which is really important. Say whats right!

Great comment reply by you!

Thats what I thought before posting, but didn’t give much thought

That ghost is wife material

Yes, infact I sometimes downvote my own comment if I feel like my comment is shit

Neither OP :(

Thanks lemmy user!

LLMs are just matrix arithmetic which has a lot of parameters which represent the english words meaning in 100+ dimensions

!Watched two 3blue1brown videos to come to that!<

I feel like this is a reference to something but can’t quite firgure it out

Trying to use linux like windows is not always a good idea. Just like macbook cannot be like windows. Every OS will be different, they should accept this.

Although I get it, terminal in linux may not be everyones taste. I would suggest distros which let you do terminal stuff from GUI application. Like in linux mint, software updates can be done through GUI.

You should tell them to use linux without terminal for a while. As they use and get acustomed to linux, then just teach them that sometimes, they have to use the terminal when looking for solutions online. You should slowly teach them differences from windows.

They might want to run windows apps in linux. You may install bottles for them but always remind them that linux is not like windows similarly macOS is not like windows. Remind them switching to macOS will have similar problems as switching to linux. Try to download alternative for those apps which can run in linux.

For this I would suggest linux mint, ubuntu, pop os or any linux distros which dont require much terminal use and have more GUI for it. Remember to show some other linux stuff which are not found in windows after a while and teach about linux in a slow pace as they use.

They should get experience using linux in a slow pace, or they might get overwhelmed

Removed by mod

After posting, I thought this post was kinda lame cause there are so many memes you could find about something like that happening. Thought of deleting it.

I didn’t delete because other people might still find it somewhat interesting. Plus, I am trying to post in lemmy as a contribution to keep the community alive. So I left it here and commented that just to give a mark didnt really like posting this particular image.

This comment was unneccassry but just letting you know about my thoughts.

Anon can buy a friend from internet lol. Business these days…

I am too lazy to look up

Can somebody tell me?

Agreed, I will edit the comment

Signal or XMPP are good option

XMPP may be a bit overwhelming as you need to select a provider and a client. Doesn’t require phone number.

Signal is private and easy to use like whatsapp. Needs phone number to use.

Telegram is cool but encryption isnt enabled by default, would like to avoid it for this. Cool for public groups.

Edit: Teleram isnt good at all, dont use it. Look reason in the replies
