[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.
I've used Linux exclusively at home for the last 10 years. We deploy Windows where I work. This is not normal. Despite my disdain for Microsoft, the setup process on Windows is straight forward and easy. It's one of the things Microsoft gets right.
This idea of OS superiority is pointless. Every major OS has things it does better than the others. We should look at those things to improve Linux in areas where it lags behind.

GNOME is (Gradually!) Dropping X11
545.29.02 makes Wayland far more usable with an Nvidia card. We finally have Nightlight support in Gnome.

You think reddit, who is about to go public, is going to allow subreddits like that to even exist anymore?

Why is snaps hated
Snap is not fully open source. It's slower than flatpak, it's centralized to Canonical's servers.Flatpaks so not update by default where snaps do, so if a feature breaking update is released and you haven't disabled automatic updates, you're screwed with snap. Flatpak does not need admin privileges where snaps do.

It amazes me how horrible it's become through official channels. I don't understand how someone can use that app and be fine with it.

Reddit to Teddit/Libreddit Redirect Userscripts
Just a note. Most libredditbinstancea will be shutting down as well. It's being modified to allow for you to add your own API key, but many large instances aren't going to be afford to continue running with the API changes.

Moved to Porkbun yesterday. No fuss, quick setup and pricing is good.

r/Apple mods cave to spez’s threats and open the sub back up
Reply in thread
True story. I started two gaming related subreddits 12 years ago. Combined, the have about 170,000 subscribers. They are still thriving communities and I have 0 say in either of those subreddits. I picked a mod for each subreddit and let them run with it. One of those subreddits went dark, the other did not. Again, I didn't interfere.
People sometimes need something in their lives to give it meaning, and as weird as it is, modding these communities provides that.

Of the headline or the image? Threads is federated, apparently. But I'm sure it will be severely crippled.

Things like this turn people off from Linux

It's not complicated though. It's just different than windows. It's also not an issue with Linux. Thunar just doesn't behave the way you want it to. Files in GNOME works fine, but wildcards don't require a * to search.

Proton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes

Arch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.
I'm not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all...

Workspaces / Virtual Desktops – do you use them on your laptop, desktop, or both?
Not gonna lie. I have 5 monitors and forget the workspaces exist. It would make life so much easier if I started using the.

Best distro for gaming in 2023?
I'm running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It's nice to have a distro that actually updates it's Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.
