  • Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

  • That's why it keeps telling me I'm offline while having an active WiFi and 5G connection of which both work and no other apps have any issues with the internet.

  • Must be hell on earth to live in country that does not have paid sick days.

  • VM the program? I know that seting up a Apple VM is nothing easy but that will allow you to just use you preferred OS and run that program in the VM. I use winboat on my Pop_OS! laptop for some software that really needs Windows and does not work well (at all) in wine. I dislike the we know better that you mentality that comes with buying a Mac. Hell the amount of times the update fubar'ed my system because Apple decided to update software that has nothing to do with the OS is too damn high.

  • Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

  • Even worse, it's costing the food places you order from money. We have a lot of restaurants here that will give you free stuff if you do not use Thuisbezorgd which is owned by Just Eat Takeaway. They also own the American Grubhub since 2021 and are also active in the UK, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands.

    -edit-

    Correction they no longer own Grubhub, and are active in a lot more countries than I first thought, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Eat_Takeaway.com

  • There was a time when the swastika was not allowed to be shown in games because of a law in Germany, causing Wolfenstein (the uncencored version) to be banned. Maybe the country in question has similar laws?

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • To have EAC work on Linux you need to set a toggle during build, some developers just refuse to do that so EAC won't work. There are also companies that are just plain hostile to Linux, because that's where the hackers live or some bullshit.

  • Fingerprint reader does not work as it does on other OS. You can log in, but the key ring stays locked causing programs in user space to break, so I always need to log in with my password before it works. The fingerprint prompt blocks input access so you can't type in the password and you have to wait for it to time out, also the prompt does not always appear. And the developers actively refuse to fix the not unlocking the keyring because it's "not secure".

    Fingerprint scanners for both Windows and macOS, you can log in and it just works.

    Second thing is the still broken bluetooth drivers on Debian based distro's where it randomly just fails. No such issues on Fedora (KDE) as of yet, but I use both.

  • GIMP is utter shit to work with though :P

  • I mean the co-op hacking in NCIS where McGee and Abby are typing on the same keyboard is legit, right?

  • People talked about the steps that Trinity takes to take down the energy grid in the Matrix (3?) is pretty legit as well.

  • I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

    Jump

  • Hmm odd it should not take that long, especially with the flatpack. My install picked up the unified receiver near instant, it was only setting up the keys that took a few minutes for the MX Master 3s.

    Does it all work now?

  • Also one backup is no backup, ask me how I know :,)

  • Because Fedora and Ubuntu (Debian) have been around for forever? In my experience Arch also feels more like a your on your own kind of Distro which I liked back in the day (build one myself with an online guide), but now I just want my machine to run and function unattended besides the updates.

  • If it is a wireless one Solaar has been my go to program to manage Logitech mouses, so maybe that will also help you?

  • Well it started with my graphics driver for the AMD RX 6800 XT that cause compositor freezes on Wayland so my panels just froze for no reason, fix -> switch to X11.

    Browser was hogging an insane amount of cpu to just render Youtube, reason was the hardware video encoder was not enabled, tried to install mesa drivers and you can only do that with rpm-ostree (first breakage of immutable) spend two days debugging and flatpack overwrites to try and fix it to no avail, left it as is.

    Next wanted NordVPN because I've been useing their service for forever, no official flatpack so I needed to use distrobox which is a vm running on my machine with another os in it to run a simple program or use rpm-ostree to install the nordvpn normal linux package (second breakage).

    Has some issues with getting a network share to work, ended up having to make a script that mounted the drive on boot. My normal Linux distro just used fstab and it worked.

    Next issue installing Bambulabs software, appimage doesn't work because it depends on gtk, rpm-ostree install number 3, it didn't take so I gave up after a week of fighting the OS and just installed Fedora KDE Plasma.

    I'm not new to Linux, hell I've been on and off it since Fedora Red Hat 8.0 played around with enough Debian (Ubuntu) based distro's as well. Three years ago I switch my working machine over to Pop_OS! had some issues but non breaking ones that I could always fix. Wanted to switch over my main home machine over from Windows 10 to Bazzite because that one is mainly used for gaming, but I wanted to be able to do other things with it as well.

  • I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

    Jump

  • No. Bazzite is pretty good at one thing and that thing is gaming. If you want do anything else and there is no flatpack/appimage for it you're shit out of luck, unless you want to ostree and thereby breaking the reason for using an immutable distro in the first place. That is the whole reason I tried and switched my main rig over to Fedora 43 KDE so I could at least use a normal package manager.

  • For me I got better results if I used the actual distro + version in the search, Linux is to general a term, but say Fedora 43 + problem would really narrow down the amount of results and also prevent really old answers to pop up.
