I hate reading about how hard it is to sign up.

Changes look good but god dam I hate the discourse around fediverse software its like pulling teeth.

Project managers. Not racist I just dont like them. Never met one that wasnt a useless overpaid Muppet.

Yes we must think of the children of course.

Money isnt the bad thing. Money isnt why companies like Microsoft and google are bad. Its control. In linux everyone has their hand in the pie such that no one can control it. The person at the helm linus torvalds has proven to be a good leader and not bias towards any corporation in particular.

Its only age verification if you set it up.

Yes, it saves others from wasting their time. I really disagree with the people that think its fine to sit through 2 or 3 bad seasons because the show gets good later. Either I can skip to later or dont watch.

Happens on fedora as well

Well done on gaining that much traction. Its pretty hard to get people to actually leave site and look at the alternatives. Also that AI summary is so depressing, reddit is really going to boil and entire person down to a sentence.

It spends money on advertising so people are convinced its good at something

Windows has a thing similar to cups to detect and use these.

Hardware support is either non existent>generic driver>manufacturer driver that never gets updates

This sucks because on windows you’d be getting manufacturer driver support with updates and software tool support for additional configuration.

All the other “problems” are double edged because yes they are a problem for some but for others its a huge positive. For instance having all the files like .bashrc .compose .desktop as a way of configuring things is cool when you know an arcane when you dont. It should be in the settings gui.

I like power shell so much more than bash. Yes yes power shell can be used on linux I know.

Which distro are you using? Did this happen after an update? What audio output device are you using and how is it connected? Run pactl info to see if you’re using pulseaudio or pipewire. If you’re using pipewire you should see this line Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.10)

When is this issue happening? Sometimes audio crackles when the cpu us under heavy load

I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.

He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.

If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.

Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.

I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.

Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer

Gaming distros are great. They come with preconfigured drivers, controller setups, emulators, gamescope. Kernel patches, latest git for new game compatibility.

There are a lot of tweaks that even experienced users wouldnt think to make and it all adds up to the experience of plugging stuff in and playing games be seemless.

Actually people have been asking them to do more linux content and to try out linux. Especially in the last 6 months with windows having controversy after controversy. You probably didnt watch but it was a positive video about linux and none of the issues were his fault or outside what I’d expect a new user to run into.
