Yeah I just need to reinstall at some point, maybe try another distro.


Nope this 100% Linux machine and partitions.


It can be, but I never really run into any issues. Part of it is I’m more familiar with windows than linux I’m sure.
My linux desktop experience hasn’t been as good, I run it on my laptop since that’s more just a web browsing device than anything and it’s not critical if it breaks. The last 2 times I’ve updated Fedora it has broken the bootloader and that took me quite awhile to fix, I can’t figure out why it keeps happening as it’s a really standard install and doesn’t make any sense.
I also still can’t get HW acceleration working in any browsers, flatpak or directly installed, which has been extremely frustrating since I’ve never had to do anything on windows for it to work. There are no clear guides with one fix either, and it’s not something I should have to be fixing myself, it should work out of the box.


That takes a few minutes, it’s not like Linux doesn’t have stuff I’ve gotta spend time to fix too.


Majority yeah but the stuff that doesn’t work can be a serious time sink to fix.


Has it occurred to you that it’s not a tiny change for a lot of people?


It’s a bother but it can be limited somewhat via toggles and DNS blocking.
Not all of us just use our computers as a hobby, I don’t have the time to figure out Linux and make things run in wine or proton, and fixing things that break from updating that software is annoying.
Lots of good options, but plain ol Fedora with KDE can look great and is reliable, or if you want something more experimental like omarchy then CachyOS would be good.
Restic is a good backup tool with encryption. Cryptomator is awesome but it doesn’t do backups, just storage.


Only decent way to see local events and updates on stuff happening in my area, also most people use marketplace so it’s how I find stuff to buy locally.
Facebook with ublock and a userscript to clean all the crap off it is at least generally usable.


Right? I haven’t noticed anything change, everything is as buggy, slow, and difficult to use as it ever was.
Guess they should have asked claude to help write their hiring terms.
It sounds like the app requires some manual intervention to start/stop tracking, is there a way to make it work like google location history where it’s always fully automatic and in the background without extra battery drain?
Some of the other apps I’ve tried before for my traccar instance had a lot of battery drain or would randomly stop working in the background, I don’t remember which ones I tried as it was awhile ago.


You can also start to drag, hit alt+tab, and then drop in another window which is how I normally do it.


For 2 that’s neat to have, but how do you send the clipboard or something thats not in a file manager?


I find it really buggy, it often loses connection and won’t connect to multiple devices at once.


Also how is speech to text AI? It has existed for decades, obviously a lot better now but I don’t think I’d consider it “AI”


There’s a ton of added friction when doing things outside the basic ‘install Flatpak app’. Security generally comes at the price of being difficult to use.
For new users it also means virtually every guide or there on fixing an issue or installing extra software won’t apply.
The fault isn’t with docker though, they don’t add your user to the docker group, it’s an optional step the user needs to take.
