A continuation rant of

https://lemmy.world/post/18158630

Oh my. The games I usually play work fine under Linux, and now they work equally or worse. The few Unreal games that caused me to break my Linux streak work way better under Windows, but the experience is so much worse. Spectacle screenshots always work, windows one just somehow manages to break itself, there is no fix. Every second boot it advertises Windows 11, even though I'm "ineligble", since I have TPM disabled. No middle click paste. Applications keep going off bounds. PowerTools managed to reset twice now. Which C++ redistributable do I need to run this program? It's not the newest one or the year before that. It's not the one provided by the installer. It's 2013 (in this case only)! WSL mounting is a nightmare if I want it to be read only. AMD drivers refuse to install because windows update is stuck at a "failed" security update. Tried to make a folder? Explorer.exe just crashed! Update went through finally? Just kidding, xbox app was just installed! Do you like to change individual application volume? I knew you didn't! Install EarTrumpet! Oh, Windows store is broken by design! Then the settings. Why are they there if they just redirect to control panel?

What is this shit? I'm actually just going straight back to Linux, Fedora this time because of recommendations. If Wayland on fedora still does weird glitches, I will use x11 and suffer what happens on a 3-monitor setup with one monitor having a higher refresh rate and resolution. Windows is now only for games that won't run under it.

Now... Extra question; Why does every distro need yet another package manager? Yay/pacman I get because it seems to build it. Though I don't understand why, other than AUR. APT is so nice and easy... I hope DNF is the same.

Dear god can we please stop it with the “My Linux Journey” posts. Create a new community or post to instagram or something.

EDIT:

Be the Change You Wish To See in the World

Different folks are at different stages of their journey. People are allowed to post about their thoughts and experiences.

I agree. Somewhere else though please.

Yeah, this comes off as just another blog entry that they haaaaad to show us but should've stayed as a blog entry.

I guess you could bring it up to the mods. As long as they are allowed, they will be posted.

I'm just posting a rant after my first rant, which pretty much means this is the last one I'm doing. I liked the reading what others had to say about the first one, so how about another meltdown ;)

It's not meaningful, but at least I'm having fun. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be posting this. And it also cools my head writing how dumb the issues are, even if they are my fault.

You just ranted about how bad you are at using and understanding Windows, in a Linux community.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

To be fair his prior rant was about how bad he was at using and understanding Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
