  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    On the 5 distros i used, i had different problems that would make normal people uninstall the OS

    I could ignore them because the benefits outweigh the problems, other people probably couldnt because they want a stable computer, not cool features

    If I had to count the issues I've had on windows that would make users uninstall the os, were it linux, wed be here a while. Linux gets shat on cause users are used to dealing with windows bullshit and issues and problems and errors and crashes and using commands in terminal and going through 20 nonsensical stupid ass control panels and using regedit for basic things. Ive had less issues with linux over the past year than I've had on win11 the month before I switched. And unlike linux, win11 issues were not caused by me being stupid.

    What are the basic things you are referring to?

    Windows has the advantage that hardware is made for it. It wont randomly freeze or refuse to use a piece of hardware

    [–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Changing mouse scroll direction, dealing with deleting some programs or drivers, bunch of other small things, troubleshooting why your game is not running or running badly.

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Are those common problems?

    Also, games having terrible performance is an issue common to both linux and windows and on linux is much more often

    [–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

    I've been fucking around regedits troubleshooting crashes and bsods for a while and it mysteriously stopped once I switched to linux. Windows gets a pass for having stupid errors that should not be there but linux doesnt.

    Those get a Steam Deck

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    A steam deck isnt practical for a lot of things(i assume from pictures, i dont own one)

    Its also pretty expensive by my countries standard

    A steam deck isnt practical for a lot of things

    I use a docked Steam Deck with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse all the time. It's a regular PC.

    (i assume from pictures, i dont own one)

    Then watch video reviews as well. Your lack of knowledge doesn't invalidate what I wrote. This is literally the first result on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ0KxIzdyR8

    Its also pretty expensive by my countries standard

    It's not expensive by comparison to other PCs with similar hardware.

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

    I completely forgot about external keyboards and monitors. I should have watched a review before making that comment

    By expensive, i didnt mean relative to its hardware, i meant relative to how much people are willing to pay

    I still think people would avoid the steamdeck because it looks specialized for gaming
