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.

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.

You are right, though I've looked and asked for advice on things before. The issue is, that me not understanding the issue and what I'm looking for gives those who answer a large list of possible causes that I'd be wasting their time. The other half will be me wasting time narrowing it down reading possible causes for hours. I don't want to do that when it goes away with a reboot. That's why the post states it's venting, not something I'm looking for a solution since I already gave up.

There are too many issues to list, some caused by a different distro and some by misconfiguration that is just too much to undo. The FPS lag I have no idea what the cause is and it really only happens in newer games. Almost everything is "mild", the games are just less enjoyable.

A few years might be a bit too many, the next round is on W10 death at the least. Before trying Desktop Linux out half a year ago, I knew Linux CLI which made most things easy. It's just that I don't have time to debug things I have no clue about.

The amount of bullshit there is to make things work is... not that bad. When it comes to games, I just can't. Having to reboot just to fix common FPS issues is too much. I've had a bunch of things that require a config change, which then has caused other issues.

The state of Linux Desktop is the best it has ever been and I'll be back the moment Wayland works better. I love Linux, but for now, it's not working out for me... Just needed to vent, thanks for reading.

Trump is always trending, Kamala randomly dropping from 4m posts to 8k, then a new "tag" is up full of magatards. Once the discource changes to mostly positive, repeat. Also, ruzzian propaganda is being boosted so....

Yeah, I've always thought I'm the vast minority on "Wanting to kill myself", but never going to. The reason why I don't tell anyone about it is... well, that reads like it's a possibility, which it isn't.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Wayland and nvidia dont mix. They are going to have a shit time, because some don't have "non-free" enabled and require editing configuration files. Fresh Mint broke or couldn't install the "newest" drivers on my friends computer, because of kernel version I assume. After that mess, the games lagged like crazy. Even worse on Wayland.

Installed Endeavour for my friend, because CBA setting up debian and "it just works". Arch as the first Linux though... What a mess.

"my money first in my money last out"

who could've expected this!

That is Valve's doing. I wouldn't have made the switch without proton.

The other part is... KDE is more "windows" than windows. Lol.

They walked the PSN thing back, but still forbid sales to some countries. That doesn't make any sense, is the Sony ship slow to steer or is Valve doing that? Or the third option, Sony is cooking up some bullshit...

Honestly, next time append "docs" and more than likely be greeted by lots of examples, explanations and considerations. Works unless you're using something microsoft.
