  • Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.

    Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.

    This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.

    Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.

    I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.

  • Indeed. I think you just have to accept a half broken system if you use Linux.

    If you accept that’s the trade off for less spyware you won’t be disappointed.

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

    Jump

  • Most popular games still don’t work.

    And stuff randomly breaks. Most recently turning on a Bluetooth mic crashes gnome.

    Apparently there’s a fix coming but insane that stuff like this can be broken for a whole month.

  • Affinity for Linux? Canva's next big move could reshape the desktop software market

  • I tried to like Krita. I’ve used it extensively for a few years. But it’s just not good. For all the reasons mentioned in this thread.

  • We gotta be more encouraging

    Jump

  • It’s both really.

    When I was publishing my first paper after sending it in to a professor for review a few times he called me in and went line through line of the whole paper for about 4 hours explaining to me what I needed to fix and why.

    A lot of it were things that came down to experience and that no book education could have given me.

    People that believe they can make significant contributions need to go through the proper process. But ridiculing them before they even attempt is not the way to go.

    A good point that Angela made in her video from what. I remember. I watched it a while ago was that these crackpots always have grand theories. It’s never a small contribution. In that sense. A good filter is just asking them to show why we should listen to them before putting effort into it.

    You think you found a way to make warp drives work ? Show us a prototype.

    Edit. I did live in the midst of academia for a while. But from my experiences. Reaching out to people in other universities. They had no real way of verifying a priori that I was who i said I was. And.no one ever told me to fuck off and very few people ignored me. From memory no one did. So it does make me wonder what kind of insane message that person is sending and to whom.

  • Last epoch is a steam game. And on protondb it’s platinum apparently.

    Never had a good experience with it on Linux though. Buggy as hell.

  • The two I tried recently that were problematic were wow and last epoch.

    Allegedly they both work fine. They don’t though.

  • Mostly Debian and arch. But I’ve tried bazzite too at one point.

    Experiences range from 5 years ago to like. Today.

    And all my hardware is amd as well.

  • I’ve read people saying this here on lemmy often.

    But it really hasn’t been my experience at all with very few exceptions.

  • I read people online saying this often. But I’ve neve been able to play things without hiccups on Linux before.

  • I just wish games worked fine on Linux.

  • I’ve had a couple friends sprout bs like this.

    What I’ve done with them is I ask them to check her twitter out with me. If more than 7 of her most recent 10 tweets at any time aren’t anti trans bs I’ll agree with them that she’s defending herself.

    I’m gonna invite you to whenever you see this message go on her twitter and count. Then come back and tell me if she’s just defending herself or if she made it a huge part of her personality hating a minority.

  • Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?

    Jump

  • I’ve traveled the world playing tournaments for a little bit. Won a few. Crashed out in some others…

    The big conventions feel insanely cool. It’s like you’re in the game but irl. You are walking down the elevator of your hotel and it feels like just being in the game when you are surrounded by people that you with. It’s super cool having people come up and hug you and you go “oh who’s this?” And it often turns out it’s people that you have shared hundreds of hours with.

    The actual competition I’ve always felt it’s all about who can play the least bad. As far as I could tell. Everyone plays worse on stage. For a multitude of reasons. At the end I was playing extremely chill and care free and it showed in the results.

    Also something less obvious. Tournaments always developed their own meta. Which I always heard comments from people from home “why didn’t you follow this meta thing. Why did you play such weird strategies?”. It’s because truly if there’s a big competition going on. Everyone good is there. And it’s not even worth getting practice on the normal servers. You have to scrim over and over the people there and that develops its own meta.

    Is it worth it? Uhhh. I’ll always cherish those memories. They were truly great years. But I would say for me nah. Not worth it. I’ve always wanted my career and life to be about some other things. And as much fun and surprisingly how well it all paid. I don’t think it was worth the many years I spent doing that and nothing else.

    Amazing memories though.

  • Just checked on the map. There's a stretch of about 11 miles that I consider to be home. I lived most of my life smack in the middle of that stretch .So about 5 and a half miles radius?

  • It just doesnt work half the time. I avoid them as much as possible.

  • I use Arch btw

    Jump

  • I've been using arch since archinstall came out. I never installed it reading the wiki.

    I sleep like a baby and everything works.

  • I'm aware of that identity. There's a good chance I misunderstood what she said about it being just a notation.

  • Listen here, Little Dicky

    Jump

  • She did. She spent a whole class on about the fundamental theorem of algebra I believe? I was distracted though.

  • This very nice Romanian lady that taught me complex plane calculus made sure to emphasize that e^j*theta was just a notation.

    Then proceeded to just use it as if it was actually eulers number to the j arg. And I still don’t understand why and under what cases I can’t just assume it’s the actual thing.

  • Oof. Hard to say. I did it for so long and so early in life that I’m not even sure what would have happened had I not done it.

    I don’t like mental meds though. And I don’t think any of them ever helped me. They have always either made me extremely risky behavior prone or just numb where the days blend together and months go by in the blink of an eye.
