So much jpeg it’s almost unreadable.

Reminds me of a joke I’m going to attempt to translate:

• Why do woodpeckers have beaks?
• So they don’t smash their heads against the tree.

Came here just to say “headphone jack”.

Seems so dumb but they probably still want to use it for propaganda so that’s why they decided to fund it.

Ummm if you don’t think this is good news you’re definitely on the wrong platform.
Lemmy devs are awesome, Lemmy is great, and I’m happy to contribute a small donation.

Would be better suited on an emacs community, no?

A modern SDDM replacement would be awesome 🤞

I haven’t had as bad of an experience with Nvidia as people say - but ofc your mileage may vary depending on your compositor, the apps you use, the distro you use, etc.

I also experienced issues with my system completely freezing after waking up from sleep - for me the issue turned out to be due to bluetooth/wifi drivers, and with this workaround things work fine again: https://github.com/alimert-t/suspend-freeze-fix-for-mt7921e/tree/main
My card is mt7922 (found that out with lshw -C network) but I guess it’s having the same issue, because after applying that fix it all works now.

It was really annoying and it took me a while to find the issue, because if you just try to google it you find lots of people with lots of different issues, all manifesting in the same way.
If you’re lucky this is your issue too, and the fix above should do it. 🤞

I think this “it just works” experience depends much on the hardware and software you use. But no matter what, in the long term, if you’re not willing to put in time and learn how stuff works, how to troubleshoot, how to check logs, use the terminal, etc. I think you’re going to have a bad time and be disappointed.

I’ve used Linux exclusively for the past 10 years, both at home and at work, and I wouldn’t advise anyone who wants a care-free “it just works” experience. Linux is not good at that, and I think anyone who claims it is does more harm than good.

Linux is good for tinkering, self-hosting stuff, connectivity and flexibility. Most people want their games to work, not this. For me, I love it and I use it for everything including sim racing and VR games.

I’ve been bamboozled. I thought it was going to be an article about sinophobia, but it’s just another “China bad” article 😄

Why so passive aggressive? 😅 Probably OP is new to Linux and doesn’t know what’s relevant information and what isn’t.

Not a great guy, but in this case he is completely right.

Not usually. Only if I have too much crap on my desk and it catches on something, but that’s easy to fix.

I do. Don’t really need a wireless mouse on my desktop PC. It’s not going anywhere :)

The fun part is how this is sabotaging our economy.
You can’t sanction a country if you’re depending on importing critical resources from them…

Lemmy devs are awesome. 1 more reason to use the platform.

I found the quote interesting. Is the source material bad? How so?

But Qt6 is all the rage now so it’s still 1 step behind :(

No, but it seems they don’t care.

Still fails to launch with the eternal “Failed to connect to headset display” aka error 109.
