I miss not having to worry about whether any app or game would be easy to install and work flawlessly.

edit. also printing in general, situation is so dire that I just send whatever I want to print to my phone and print it from there these days.

Love gnome with dash to panel. Zero complaints.

No manufacturer support. But zephyrus g14 (2022) is my favorite laptop ever. Very few issues with Linux.

Indeed. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for though. That’s complicated and apparently breaks ?

I’m currently dual booting. Which works fine. I was wondering if there was an easier way though.

Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.

In think it comes from flathub not having many cli applications in it. I’d love to drop snaps for Flatpak only. But I can get so many snaps that aren’t on flathub it’s crazy.

They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

Pretty accurate meme though.

Oof

Oh. I see. Thank you.

So I’m running Debian. Say you want to use nix on it.

Is installing a package as simple as $ nix install vscode ? And would it “just work”?

Might give it a try if so.

Hm. Not sure if it’s because I’ve stuck with gnome and kde. But both definitely freeze often during high I/o or intense processing times.

On multiple machines and multiple distros. It’s one of the most annoying things about it really.

Personal stuff is mostly on my phone. And I’ll just sync to the computer what’s needed.

All my code and projects are on GitHub/codeberg.

All my personal info and photos are on proton drive.

If Linux shits itself (and it does often) who cares. I can have it up and running again in a fresh install in ten minutes.

Funny. I didn’t know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Depends on the license I suppose.

Most of the issue is that they’re unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.

It’d be a great thing if it just worked.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

I’d never admit it irl or to anyone I know because it’s petty. But it bothers me when cs people refer to themselves as engineers.

Referring to themselves as scientists would seriously be a step past that.
