Sounds delicious

So you’re agreeing with him, right?

I think you haven’t installed (not used) windows in a while if you don’t understand what he means by the forced onedrive

I said your friend is an idiot, not you. And even in his case, i only really blamed him for literally intentionally messing shit up. Should I remind you that you’re the one who said that story? Congrats on winning your argument against a strawman i guess?

The second paragraph of your answer just tells me you have never had an idea of what you’re doing. And that would be totally fine if you didn’t blame it on Linux as a whole, btw. But you do just that.

Why would you use everything except the most obvious distro choices? Manjaro is literally famous for terrible practices, always has been. 5 minutes of research would tell you that much. You try nobara but not vanilla fedora?? You try pop_os but not Linux Mint? You try Void for some reason?? Fkin Void? You’re clearly not really ready to tinker and you want stuff to just work, so just go with something obviously and famously stable and out of the box like Linux Mint. It’s really that simple… You complicate shit for yourself and then complain about how you’ve had terrible experiences. Ofc you’ve had them because you never really bothered to try and keep it simple for yourself.

I always choose the practical solution over anything else. And there are real problems in Linux right now, like fractional scaling on GNOME, VR, HDR being hit or miss, anticheat not working, etc. So i don’t force anybody onto Linux. But pretending we’re still in 1995 is just malicious coming from you.

If you’re just lost about shit, people in the Linux community are generally ready to help. Hell, if you describe your use cases well, literally everybody would help you as much as they can. But coming on here and using a wild (and probably fake) story to flame something for no real reason and then expecting a positive response is kind of weird, don’t you think?

Edit: sorry, wrong user i guess. You all haters kind of blend in and look the same lol.

If you’re not able to connect to a NAS for some reason, that’s almost definitely on you or your friend in this case. But even that aside, expecting a one to one transition has always felt odd to me… You don’t switch from an Android device to an iOS device or vice versa with the expectation of everything working one to one. You usually understand that there’s a lot of differences involved.

There’s ofc things like VR that I will admit Linux is quite far behind in, but for general use, Linux is problem-free for the most part these days. And you definitely don’t end up having an unbootable system pretty much ever unless you intentionally fuck it up. Like yeah, Linux lets me uninstall the kernel or bootloader if i choose to do that (it will try to warn me ofc) and that would render the system unbootable. But that would be me being irredeemably stupid, not the operating system’s fault. Hell, some distros like Tumbleweed even come with a better snapshotting setup than both Windows and macOS, making it pretty much impossible to fuck it up that badly.

Crates aren’t exactly runtime dependencies, so i think that’s fine as long as the 1500+ dependencies actually help prevent reinventing the wheel 1500+ times

If you’re not using a venv for python development, that’s kind of on you

Yeah maybe like in 1995… If you’re having this kind of issue in the present day, you’d have to be shooting yourself in the foot very very intentionally. (An example is a broken custom Arch or Gentoo setup, which you shouldn’t be using anyway unless you know exactly what you’re doing.)

Facetiming is pretty commonly used i think

But I’ve tried both Mint and Ubuntu and the software updater constantly runs into issues very quickly after install.

I have a Blue-Build based custom distro (not many customisations tbh), that I’m planning to ship for my sister as well as me. So far, updates have been painless because it’s just one base image overwriting the other. I have a feeling that that’s where Linux distros in general is headed. I can imagine Bazzite being just right for you if you’re into gaming.

Pebble is still going pretty well though, so I don’t know if that’s a good comparison

Source: extremely common knowledge and the stranglehold that Google has on webdev

He’s getting at Firefox being unusable for one of his usecases. Though i guess you could argue that he could just use something like brave specifically for that use case while using Firefox for other stuff

I did get the joke, that’s why I started the way i did

I get what you’re trying to do here but the thing is, bluetooth and nvidia are terrible on every platform tbh… At the very least, nvidia laptops on Windows for my friends haven’t been as stable as my AMD laptop on Arch has been for me. I hear nvidia on desktop is solid, so that might be the issue here though. Which also reminds me, nvidia on Linux isn’t really an issue anymore, they work as well as their windows counterpart basically and nearly every distro makes them really easy to install.

And Bluetooth on Linux right now is just as terrible as on Windows, which is to say, it works pretty well.

Better software support? How long is it now?

Both are. At least in manga and anime.

Nothing you’re saying makes sense in the context of the comment you’re replying to.

The Buckets (budgetwithbuckets) budgeting app is also a personal favourite of mine. Unlimited evaluation period, no subscriptions and even a regional pricing program called “Buckets by the Loaf”. I really love how they go about it

Too many.
