I have those apps too. I’m just saying I have never had this issue. I am not saying it’s not legit it’s just strange.

I also don’t use any social media besides lemmy so that might also play a factor. And I block A LOT of ips on my phone.

Yall have to have some shady apps I have never had this issue. Apps starting on boot is not normal

One thing I want to debate about this is I remember how expensive cable used to be. It was like 120 bucks. Maybe you got like a $70 package or $80 package where you had barely any channels. I ain’t spending that much on streaming services!! I don’t know if I’m an outlier but I got Three and that’s about it. I pay around 40 bucks a month.

Why you don’t like Wayland would be a more interesting post.

This one age poorly. Seychelles for the W

Hey we all have our unix philosophy cringe phase. Just let the kid play he will grow up one day.

I didn’t say it was hard just said flatpaks are easy. Also why don’t you post a solution?

I would uninstall and use the flatpak. Way easier than solving dependencie issues

So his Meme is correct the system will break if you force it to uninstall something?

18 years of running linux on my computers because windows is insufferable in some way or form. Windows 11 Pro was actually fairly decent at first I even liked the UI despite its issues. Then updates broke and even digging into the cmd prompt tools couldn’t fix it. Which is just insane to me as a company that is hoovering up my data cant figure out updates. I dont even care all that much about the privacy aspect if it just worked. Hell its why I use google services. But every version of windows I have used since XP has had some sort of fatal error that could only be fixed with a clean install. When that happens its my sign to go on a distro hop.

Dark patterns have also just become the norm in Windows and Mac OS. Honestly kind of sad because both OS’s at one point in time had there high points where they felt like they were built for the user. Now they are glorified billboards that run apps.

This! I literally give Windows a chance every version. I even kind of liked Windows 11 this go around.

But something always breaks and no matter how much I trouble shoot the fix is to reinstall windows. To which I say screw that and start distro hoping.

11 with 2022 gaming laptop just stopped updating. The only non native app I had on the thing was STEAM! I have been using Linux for 18 years because it’s the only way I know how to fix Windows.

This is actually the first of probably many of these cases from this little incident

Seems like it! I will never understand why school districts try to cheap out on bus drivers and teacher pay. Personally i will pay the high taxes if it means the people taking care of my kids a majority of the day are fat and happy. You get what you pay for.

Glad he left Russia! The loss of minds like this is what is really going to hurt Russia in the long run.

Man do i miss the days when I was on the Russia sub reddit back in the day and could talk with free minded people about the countries culture and history. That Sub went to absolute shit after Putin retook power the second time.

Might try it! I am running it on linux through proton. Which in its default mode it preforms pretty dang good. Its really amazing how optimized the indie games coming out now are vs what we get with triple A

Yep it’s like if Doom and Hades had a kid that is going through a cyberpunk phase.

It also looks really good!

Just started Deadline. Pretty fun rouge like FPS that runs well in proton.

If you go a long time without updating there are generally lots of updates. So when you update sometimes you can have dependency issues. Basic maintenance prevents this.

Personally I never have this issue and generally don’t have any issues with Arch. Truly have no idea why people think it’s unstable. Maybe bad experiences with Manjaro which is Arch based. Now that distro has stability issues! Garuda and vanilla arch have been rock solid as far as my experience goes.

Arch is actually really stable if you keep it updated. Where it gets ya is if you don’t update it for a couple months or longer.

I run silverblue for my tv computer and I can confirm!
