You mean like that relationship?

These people are another barrier on the road to Linux adoption. I personally had an issue with Void Linux, a systemd free distro whose manual is seriously lacking and lots of what is in Arch Wiki may not apply there. I went to their support server, detailed my problem and said that I had done what their manual said. The first response, I get is read the manual when it is just a page long(for the specific issue I was facing).
Ultimately, it was boiling down to a wrong flag attached to the command that was listed on the official website that was not solving my problem.

Support forums kind of suck all over. I’d imagine the systemd free distros are more elitest than the norm.

Bruh, computers are tools to accomplish a task, if you wanna obsess over hack shit stare at the toilet, dont gatekeep a hobby.
JTskulk@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Pick the tool without ads in your way then lol I’m not gatekeeping, simply saying get gud
masterspace@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Bruh, saying “get gud” to someone incapable of doing so doesn’t make you cool, it makes you an unempathetic asshole.

If you need skills in order to use an OS, then that is a bad OS.
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is very true. There is a difference between being bad at using software, and software being bad. Linux just has an intrinsically bad desktop design.

You don’t need skills to use GNU+Linux, in the same way you don’t need skills to use Windows.
It has different ways of doing things which needs to be learned, but that also applies the other way around.

Or maybe the one that I had to reinstall every other month because it kept failing to boot (probably because I broke something because I had no clue what I was doing and trying to get stuff working).

Or maybe the one that I had to learn how rollback graphics drivers because I bought wrong brand of graphics card.
Adanisi@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
This doesn’t make any sense. Drivers only get loaded if a device matching the correct device ID is plugged in. So a wrong driver won’t, can’t, load. Why would you need to rollback?
If you don’t have the correct drivers, it’ll still work, just poorly. And from there you can get the correct ones.
catonwheels@ttrpg.network 6 months ago
Maybe wrong terminology? Or hopefully not an issue.
Nvida released a new driver. The driver crashed my Linux every time put on load. Had to uninstall with command line. Install old obes.
With the replays on how that common with Linux and how I should brought amd. I assumed was Common frustration with new nvidia.

Linux not being able to launch a game (that probably was not made for it) is not a relationship issue but a technical one.
Even if it is possible to run the game but you need to hack around your distro’s configurations, you can be certain the default configuration was not made with the specific intent of preventing you from running the game.
In the Windows case you are not hacking around with the json file to solve a technical issue.
Windows is not misconfigured, it’s Microsoft’s explicit decision to prevent you from removing some of it’s software even if it’s forced by law to do so for other people.
It’s ok if you don’t mind Microsoft’s behavior or you just find Linux’s technical issues more important in choosing an OS. But the issues are not similar neither equivalent.

I used to think the same and sure there are still definitely games that won’t work, but gaming on Linux has come a loooong way. And with the recent bullshit that Microsoft is pulling with Windows 10 and especially 11 I just couldn’t take it anymore.
