It's been Linux time since Windows 8 came out. Y'all with me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (17 children)

Unfortunately all my recent experiences with Linux have been abysmal.

My computer just refuses to cooperate with any Linux distro and DE. I have tried them all.

The one program I used the most (Discord) runs like absolute trash.

Wayland is still extremely buggy and unusable. It crashes constantly.

I really wish I could switch full time but Linux just is t there yet, and in some ways feels it has regressed in recent years.

I’m a Linux enthusiast and have used it in some capacity since 1996 with my first foray using Slackware.

I desperately want to use Linux as a daily driver but for my entire work flow, it fails at every metric. I’m disgusted that I have to continue using Windows.

Strange.

Discord runs like a dream on Mint at least. Been using it for two months and not hit any real issues yet.

Runs better for me on manjaro than windows. Especially if a server I have open starts spamming gifs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

When I try to type it just spazes out and flashes the text as I’m typing. Also all the gifs have a grainy pixelated look to them.

GIFs have a grainy pixelated look to them? Well no crap, the format comes from the year 1989 and is limited to 256 colors.

That's totally normal believe it or not.

Edit: GIF is actually older than Linux

On windows they are clear…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That means they blurred them for your viewing pleasure. They're still 256 color animations where the format was invented in 1989.

Edit: The process GIF uses to store semi-video quality is called error diffusion. Look it up. 256 color palette is rather limited.

I’m not going to keep going back and forth about it. The fidelity of gifs on windows and Linux clients of discord differ greatly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Then try a different GIF decoding library, duh. You actually have options with Linux.

Can you describe your hardware?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Intel 10850k, asus rog motherboard, 3090fe Nvidia, 32gb ram, m.2 hard drives Samsung evo plus 500gb, 1tb

So yeah about the only thing I can think is that Nvidia card.
