How it feels to install windows in 2023
  • @Steamymoomilk recently had to do a clean win 11 install. Spent a day trying to get the Intel RST driver loaded just to begin install. After trying various sources including the recovery media from manufacturer had to take it to a few repair centers(many claimed bad SSD even though I explained what driver was needed) to just install the OS it came with.

    Same laptop have installed a half dozen linux distros with no such issue.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
  • @deleted @leninmummy have you tried other distros with better proprietary driver support? Debian is known to stick with FOSS.

    Also touchscreen is not a very common feature even in laptops let alone linux. The more your hardware deviates the higher the chances of breakage. Try live booting a bunch of distros and try if the same breaks everywhere.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
  • @somedaysoon @Cypher MS powertools allows some of those stuff, though not nearly as well. AHK is every easy to setup and get into even compared to some of the linux equivalents.

    It goes either ways and one needs to find the way to make it work on either system. Often she exact same approach might not work in both.

  • Wayland pros and cons?
  • @SrEstegosaurio I use colemak from bigbagtrix that applies it via setxkbmap. Tried that on fedora sway spin, wouldnt work erroring cos it needed X11. Maybe should try out in other WMs like you said or try using kmonad.

  • Wayland pros and cons?
  • @lack @LaggyKar wanted to try sway or other wayland based DE for better monitor support but being dependent on xkb for colemak keyboard prevents that.

    Need to find a solid keyboard solution that works on wayland as well as in X11.

  • [YouTube] Redhat goes CLOSED SOURCE? | Chris Titus Tech
  • @BarrierWithAshes @SmokeInFog @TooL not unless they make new announcements regarding their upstream projects. This decision affects downstream projects that rely on making their code publicly available (hence projects outside of redhat).

    I am apprehensive too as I just started using fedora and beginning to like it.
