Thoughts on Desktop Operating Systems in 2024
  • I agree with you about macos design. I'm not a fan of it either. It's garish with over the top animations. The window manager is dreadful. Track pad gestures are great though as is spotlight search.

  • how can something be so courageous and yet so true
  • Please tell me how I can build ios apps, test multiple browsers (including safari), and test on any iPhone without mac? I don't want to use a mac but it's not "always a dumb choice". Sometimes (by design) there is no choice.

  • Thanks for trying to help. I have already managed to import the ovpn certs using the CLI. It's just the Gnome import wizard that was not working. I suspect one of my monitors is incorrectly reporting its native resolution and refresh rate as its an issue that occurrs with both nvidia and AMD gpus. I'm on vacation now but I'll visit linuxquestions when I'm back because it's a really annoying issue lol.

  • Ssd wake is a bios issue. Monitor issue has happened on every distro I've tried. Vpn cert import is a distro issue as its been fine in other distros. Idk what's going on with chrome. It's not bothered me enough to look into yet. When I do have to use windows there are non of these issues.

  • Let's not pretend Linux isn't without its own jank. Currently broken on my install

    • importing open vpn certificates
    • USB file transfers
    • after monitors time out and go to sleep resolution, refresh rate and screen positioning resets
    • sometimes fails to go to sleep
    • have to change /proc/acpi/wakeup after every boot or the nvme ssd immediately wakes the system up from sleep
    • Chrome can't update

    I know I'll get down voted for saying this because lemmy is a Linux circlejerk. But if we want Linux to proliferate we can't keep ignoring its problems. And sure, if I could be bothered I could probably fix most of these things with enough time. But I don't want to spend my limited free time fixing stuff that really should just work out of the box
