Thanks. It actually means a lot to me that you get me to an extent. I was born like this. My thinking is harshly different and most people agree with me after long winded explanation but the initial reaction is often hostile. It even gets to a point where people get violent. These days more emotionally but also physically when I was young. It's how I experience autism.
I can see why you would think that. I think this video explains it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDPPig9JR5Y.
TL;DW: Capitalism in it's true form was "I give you this, you give me that". Exchange of goods. And from that perspective, it has worked. But now that nobody sells stuff anymore but holds you or the goods you want hostage, it has devolved back to the old system of feudalism where you live somewhere and the king asks for your work and money so you can live there.
I'm not saying thats the only way to look at it but I find the explanation pretty good. It would explain why so many people who are actually very good at trading things struggle in this climate now while others now thrive who have no clue how to produce viable products.
And in the last part comes what I don’t understand. I never called the project trash, even before editing. I asked if it was trash or I was missing something (which I was, and someone could have just said so).
I assumed (wrongly) that is was abandonware or something since it literally looked like the windows version stripped of all but basic functionality.
And this is why people don’t like to come to computer centric, and especially linux centric communities. Being frustrated and maybe even out of line does not give anyone the right to dogpile.
Now I agree on all points. I actually have had no issues configuring linux server for the past two years and I probably just assumed the desktop variant would be as mature as the server variant. On top came the drastically different ui. And yes, community devs are very approachable. I have solved a lot of issues with minecraft servers that way, thanks to those devs.
Just so you know, these are the reasons I assumed linux is in most parts on par with windows, ui wise:
firefox = non distinguishable from windows imo
vs code = non distinguishable
libre office = looks a bit older than ms office 2013 but is insanely responsive and works like a charm
linphone = looks and works very good
steam = looks the same and is a lot faster than on windows
element desktop = looks and feels the same
obs = same
blender = same
These are 8 pieces of software that were mindblowingly good. Three of them are for profit afaik (but still open source) VS Code, Linphone, Element. Steam I think is closed. Imagine the shock I then had when installing streamdeck. All others are 99% on par (and some better) than windows.
I'm definitely impressed with Linux. I just don't think it is helpful to dogpile on someone who is asking questions instead of just informing them. That is ultimately what a forum is for afaik.
I agree on all points but one. I usually prefer to have more options and freedom as well BUT I am shocked that elgato didn't even bother to make a ui for the streamdeck on linux. The community made ui (I know of this for like 10 minutes) is the typical "pro version" as most things in linux are. You can basically steer a spaceship with it, I get it.
My point does not seem to compute though: People are switching from windows en masse (as am I, too) and there not being a stream deck windows ui equivalent from the maker, with at least most of the functionality from the windows version is shocking to me. I am solely saying there should be freedom of choice which interface to use. Due to elgatos ignorance or unwillingness or whatever other reason, there is not. This is what surprised me.
I‘m totally with you on that. I get it. But I still think users should have the same options on linux than they do on windows if they don’t have hours to write scripts or the knowledge.
Arguing that the possibilities are endless is correct imo but it is leaving out the elephant in the room: This only applies to people who are not typical windows users.
I can already relate! :) I am running a homeserver on ubuntu 22.04 and I have been meticulous in my documentation and I was extremely cautious with every change I made. To be honest, I wasn’t this cautious with the desktop and it already shows.
Will definitely keep your words in mind. Thanks a lot!
So, I'm very new to this Linux Desktop experience. I have a Linux server that runs cli only so I'm very much not used to the desktop version.
I tried many proton versions and they all seemed to not work. The only thing that did work (and exceptionally well too) is the steam linux runtime (last option in steam compatibility).
I had to google to find out what wayland and X11 are. My terminal tells me I'm running X11.
It is "agitation propaganda" if I understand correctly and is supposed to inform and agitate people towards revolution and class warfare (which is a great thing imo).
To the other two: Hexbear seems to be housing much radical thought. I'm not sure which extreme but one definitely. Tankie I looked up as well earlier this week: It's a person that glorifies autocratic communist states such as north korea iirc.
Thank you so much! This is awesome! Will definitely look this up more often. I'm actually very surprised that games run this smoothly if you tinker with them.

It looks to me as it would be working.
But now I have another problem: I installed CS:GO and have between 150 and 200 FPS on high. Looks like the 3060ti works after all. :) but now metro doesnt even start. If I hit play, it quickly cycles through start, cloud sync, running, stopped
This happened before. I then verified the game files and it worked again. Any idea what the issue is?
In my short time in an actual tech company, I was baffled at the amount of cockiness. It was a startup though.
I was easily the most senior person outside of management, yet others got positions in management from the start. I did have management experience and significant success but I lack the ability to sell it.
When I complained that this isn’t what I signed up for, they pretty much told me to suck it up.
I‘m rather exceptional at what I do, yet my neural configuration makes me unable to play social games so I decided to not go on and play them. Currently helping my wife in her small company.
