I’m motivated to try converting my nix-os install from gnome to plasma again

God what a toxic post

Arguing that subscription services should be the only way to experience 30+ year old media that you may have already purchased is certainly one view… I don’t think you’ll find much support here, however

Her videos are definitely solid, and she seems knowledgeable. HOWEVER, she 100% consumed the Technology Connection guy’s personality and mannerisms Kirby style.

You can’t become a billionaire by respecting laws and other people

Thanks for inspiring me to search around GitHub - I managed to successfully resume from suspend after an hour or so (still doesn’t work in Wayland, but I’m making progress i guess).

Next up is addressing the weird horizontal tearing in all my games!

I started with Ubuntu back in the day, and used that (and its variants) as my only distro up until ~2017, when i used Mint and Fedora in university. I started messing around with Arch maybe 3 or 4 years ago, then tried Pop!_OS, then went back to Arch, then tried NixOS and have stuck there since.

I mean I find them useful often, but in this case I didn’t like the results in the sense that after trying for hours my problem wasn’t resolved 🙂

I have tried with many models online, presumably all of which are more robust than local. Will give it another shot soon

I am more willing to learn things than the average user I’d say - I work in IT and answer incredibly stupid questions more or less daily. Also, im not a shell expert, but I definitely know my way around bash/zsh/cmd/PS, given the system. I have also been using Linux on and off for around 15 years as well - I had things work well in the past.

I’m guessing my custom built PC might be making things harder. The Nvidia card probably doesn’t help, but I feel like my MOBO is probably responsible for my sleep issues. Maybe I just need to try Pop again, I’m currently running NixOS which is my favourite OS in theory, but in practice configuration is a brute force guessing game.

Correct. But I’ve heard tons of people say Nvidia support is fine now, and that amd is still problematic. I have also tried Pop OS

I wish I could experience this pain free Linux I keep hearing about on this website. Programs constantly stutter and glitch out, and if the computer goes to sleep while running my Linux partition it absolutely will not wake up again. I know this is a skill issue, but I’ve already spent many hours troubleshooting this… I’ve tried several distros as well. Even the steam compatibility everyone raves about only seems to work for me if I don’t use wayland. I can say with certainty that the average person would be completely unwilling to deal with the experience I have had.

Adobe signed me up for a “trial” over the phone, which they then ended up trying to charge me to get out of.

I ended up just blocking their payment and never heard anything else about it. Fuck Adobe, they are in contention for shittiest company in my eyes.

In that case I’ll enter the left answer every time

How is that legal, completely insane

If this was the case, I’d enter the wrong answer every time just to fuck with their metrics

every keygen was also a keylogger

Always worth rolling those dice - think of the amazing trackers jams!

You seem like someone who thinks they know everything about computers, but have actually never used or updated a windows pc.

Also, you seem like the only person on my block list, so… congrats, I guess!

How does sharing a screenshot of an issue with Microsoft’s licensing server indicate that I need hand holding to use a computer? This is a Linux forum, if I had to guess every person here is on the high end of computer proficiency. It seems to me you are just a hostile person who likes to bully people online.
