Linux needs to seriously fix itself (this IS an unpopular opinion here, cant speak bad about linux on lemmy now can we)
I have used linux for a couple of years now and it was one of the most bumpy beginnings (and ends) i ever had with software.
There was little a moment that wasnt marred by some kind of problem.
I could write a book on all the problems i had encountered and some of them happen several times, but here are some highlights:
monitors not being all recognized unless its plugged in in a VERY specific order
monitor 2 not having the correct colors
audio not coming out of the correct source, the default source changing when something else that can sue it is plugged in, and also changing after a restart
gaming, proton barely EVER worked, rated gold or platinum on protondb? fuck you it wont even start for you
wine is not much better, lutris also fucked up several times
What broke the camels back today:
I stream, on wednesday my controller stopped working so i couldnt continue to stream, an hour after i stopped? the controller started working again
great right? no, today the same shit, controller doesnt work.
Linux continues to have awful roadblocks that make even the most stubborn user (me) switch back to windows for now
But ah i am not dont yet, getting support from other users is about as much a fools errand as it is for windows, just sprinkled in with a lot more brown nosing elitism.
And i imagine i will get similar comments here cause lemmy has the same circlejerks reddit has.
As long as linux continues having the most mundane problems with NO solution anywhere it wont get anywhere, if it werent for steamdeck it would still hover around at below 3%
See i like linux, i like how the ui feels and all, but i just cant anymore, i want shit to actually work and linux just cant provide that yet
I know, I was joking. 😊 It was actually great that you didn't mention it, if you had then the discussion would have focused on how that particular distro is the one that didn't do right by you.
