I’d never admit it irl or to anyone I know because it’s petty. But it bothers me when cs people refer to themselves as engineers.
Referring to themselves as scientists would seriously be a step past that.

I want to like this place.
People seem too aggressive here though.
And apparently everyone’s hobby is using Linux and neurodiverging.
Is it not stable?
Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?
You are going to get gaslit to hell about this on lemmy. But no. It is not stable in the sense you mean.
The effort is worth it though.
All of this. Plus often it just doesn’t work.
And no. I do not want to blind fiddle with the permissions to fix it.
Were you using Firefox? On my phone, FF browser takes ~5% battery per hour,
Mine drains about 6% per hour, it’s absolutely unsustainable. Just uninstalled firefox, let’s see. I regret getting it so much (pixel 7) lol.
edit. wasnt it, what a piece of shit this phone is.

Meredith.
After Meredith McKay.
Yet they scream when their 6 months old un-updated windows install wants then to update
The problem isn’t the OS being out of date I wouldn’t think, it’s the applications they actually use. Flatpaks are kind of a solution but not really.
It’s a hard sell explaining to new people that they will have software up to a couple years out of date.
Destiny
When I first played I had a wiki open on my second monitor for about the first month I was playing.
Love the game. One of my favorites. And the artwork and music are second to none.
It definitely has the worst onboarding experience ever though.
BG3
It does have deep systems. But you can just pick what feels right to you and the game will accommodate you.
It’s a masterpiece.
Is it linux not working or hardware with shitty proprietary driver issues?
I don’t think a single one of my current issues are driver related.
You are right about that though. When Ive tried using Linux with a Nvidia GPU before and it was unusable.
I really, really, really hate all the spying that gets done by commercial software and would rather deal with the problems that crop up using Linux than feeding a bunch of sociopathic billionaires even more data.
This is the big one for me.
Entirely agree with this whole comment though.
It does have quite a bit of problems, bugs and fails at the basics more often than not.
I kinda feel like I’m being gaslit whenever I bring it up and people say it “just works”.
Because. Well. It doesn’t.

I love the idea of kdeconnect but it wreaks havoc on my battery, on both phone and laptop.
Awesome. I’ll give mailsprint a try, thanks!
Do you get background notifications with Geary?
Most of the issue is that they’re unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.
It’d be a great thing if it just worked.
