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

    And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.

    How is this clown behavior? If anything, not accepting the proposed solution to the issue would be it

    This is more like, wisdom of the ancients kind of thing

    I'm gonna have to endorse this because you've already proven that it works.

    Yeah? Try playing MYST VR with a quest 2 and Nvidia GPU.

    I love Linux, but sometimes I just wanna pin it against the wall and make violent love to it until my issue is fixed. Though usually the love making is more of a frustrating 6 hours of troubleshooting.

    BTW, are we allowed to sexualize an OS?

    Funny, this sounds an awful lot like people who complain about the fediverse

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

    This.

    You cant decide about your instance? Well how the fuck did you decide to use reddit then instead of all the other forum based Websites then?

    Fine, I'll give this strategy a shot too: Linux is crap because when I switch USB audio interface with a switcher the audio becomes extremely borked likely because of buffer settings somehow changing, to me it feels like the buffer is too small and then all these audio crackling issues start propping up.

    Windows doesn't have this issue whatsoever, it's only when I switch back to Linux in the switcher that the audio is borked.

    I have a Bluetooth dongle headset-mic. Probably for the same buffer reason, it constantly breaks audio when I have multiple audios in/outs running.

    The only consistent fix is switching to another audio driver and playing a video on YouTube while I switch it back.

    OkΓ© lets see how good crowd trouble shooting is...

    Nobara on Fedora can not have the exact same mouse being plugged in multible times. They seem to merge into one and all but one will be ignored (at random).

    Okey, without joking*. I have seen quite some people who are unable to Google anything. But I guess that's why LMGTFY was made.

    [*] this is actually a bug, not a joke. If you happen to know the answer. Please share it, it's driving me nuts

    As in 2 of the same model?

    To be faiiiirrr googling nowadays is a sysiphean exercise in frustration

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

    Follow up question - why do you have multiple mice plugged into your computer?

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

    Trackball mouse for work, regular mouse for gaming. This is peak and you cannot convince me otherwise.

    I like to point with both hands, and with my feet if I'm in a good mood.

    Windows and Mac have taught people to ignore safety error messages. We’re gonna be dealing with the fallout of that for generations.

    Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn't work for my new pc build.

    I've contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

    I've posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

    I've posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

    I've gone so into the weeds I'm trying to remap pins because I'm assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it's been weeks and I can't solve it.

    Again, I'd never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.

    What always has me seeing red is when I'm deep diving forums searching for anyone who has had my exact issue. Finding people with similar, but not exactly the same, issues with easy solutions that don't work for me. Finally finding one forum post from 9 months ago, it is literally the exact same issue I'm dealing with. One reply. It's OP a few days/weeks/months later replying to their own post only to say:

    Nevermind, I fixed it.

    But no solution, no response to commenting on the post or DMing.....

    Makes me wanna slap a mfr......

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Does it work on Windows?

    Because it could just as well be a shitty solder job

    Also next time never say you use Linux to a support tech. They will blame it all on linux, whether the pc is broken in half or covered in rat piss, it will always be you who broke it by using unsupported software.

    Have you tried making a meme about how windows is so much better?

    Sometimes memes are the only way we know how to cope

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    this is the way. the best way to get linux support is to claim something isnt there or working. instant flood of reply from nerds and adhs ppl.. i am not advocating it, but OP is wrong...

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    It's not just Linux. Make a statement related to anything with authority where someone can see it, and someone will come along and take the opportunity to be Right on the Internet.
