  • Nobody represents the people, but that's not a new problem nor, in anyway, a new thing in this Trump era

    My biggest fear is that the USA always gets to chose someone who does not represent them at all but at least had the notion that we need a planet to live in

    Trump is a man child and will see the world burn out of petty spite. And us, in the rest of the world, would have to still live with those consequences

    So back to the debate and the choice between Biden and Trump... Sure Biden is a terrible option, like chosing to get cancer... But Trump is like chosing to be gang raped, shot and left for dead in an open sewer and here we are pretending the 2 bad options are somehow the same






  • I'm going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you're using a lot of "..."s,

    No ill will intended. You must be young and I'm old, my kids constantly complain about my abuse of the "..." They say I always sound ominous

    The only part my intention was to sound like "well, yes that's obvious" was the part where you missed some windows specific GPU functions

    For the rest I was meaning to say that I recognize those problems but didnt find them insurmountable at the time I had to face them.

    I still have to deal with windows today because of work and I find the amount of orphan issues (or issues with no solution 3 years after reporting) saddening because I rarely see that in the Linux community

    True, I may be "over the hump" in terms of the initial learning curve but I encourage you to keep at it, you'll find it enjoyable in no time


  • I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally

    We used this for work and I had a bit of a hard time setting up 4 years ago when covid hit... I eventually was able to but later on moved on to a different set up.

    We still use it on Windows when I go to the office (once a week) and it still shit there

    If you post specifics I may be able to help you.

    Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

    well yes... Windows specific stuff is not usually available in Linux... unless we are talking about gaming which is catching up really quick

    The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

    Yes, it's a different OS... not sure if you were expecting any differently but this is the power of the walled gardens... you learn to live in them and then find it hard to do anything differently... IMO the transition was worth it for me... I hope it is for you

    The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.

    This is what I disagree with... that has not been my experience AT ALL. The worst I can say about online support for Linux is that, some communities, are a little caustic (looking at you Arch support, although you do have great online help posted).

    If anything, when I can't seem to find anything regarding something I am looking for, I have defaulted to realizing I may not be asking the right question... RARELY discussions for Linux support happen behind closed doors... it's just not even in the spirit of the Linux communities. Again, if you'd like to post specifics maybe we can help
