I couldnt even get it to work on chrome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• A udev rule that won’t work in my new distro (cachyos) for no apparent reason when it worked fine everywhere else

• Obs using way too much cpu for no reason even in a clean setup at idle

• Having to select what window will be captured to the obs canvas every time

• Having to swap active audio outputs until volume stops being too low at every restart.

That’s about all of it, I think.

A recent update added 104ms to my boot time and I am SEETHING and will get to the bottom of this and make those responsible pay dearly.

I’ve had frustation with the lack of support for some HP laptops. I have a HP Dragonfly 13.5-inch G4 Notebook and I haven’t been able to get my sound to work despite finding others who have gotten it to work. None of the people who got it to work were using simple installation or sources to get the sound to work.

My only pain, since last year, is the horrible amount of tweaking needed to have flameshot work in Gnome. I have not found a single screen shot app that even comes close in terms of features and UI.

Nothing but there were some gpu issues with sleep signals on the newest Debian release. As it’s an always on server I turned those flags off and it’s running normally.

I wish I had Paintdotnet but my daily usage sees Krita work.

I’m running endevourOS with KDM and there are some major issues with bluetooth…I can’t get some devices to connect (e.g my keychrone Keyboard, and Cricut plotter)

I still have to disable my wireless mouse, when I hibernate, because I couldn’t be bothered to adapt the udev rules to disallow the mouse to trigger the pc to start

And finaly, I just got back into X4 Foundation and my HOTAS setup depends on which device is recognized first…either its correct, or the controls are swapped (stuff that should be on the joystick is on the thrustmaster and vice versa)…un- and replugging in the correct order fixes this, but one wod think that it would lock the controls to a fixed device identifier

80% of tools and tasks take about 20% more effort to get set up how I’d like them, which is fine - and even usually better because I can customize it more. However 20% of tools and tasks take 8,000% more effort to even work correctly, and I give up on half of them.

Audio. As much as windows has issues, it is not hard to get good latency. The same process is it less accessible to most users. A reliable gui is needed.

VST’s and their associated DRM is a blocker but not the fault of Linux. The same is true for hardware that can only be properly configured with a windows or Mac only tool. These problems need a critical mass of users, and a legal requirement to support Linux for mainstream products. (EU, I’m talking to you)

VS, that’s it. Other than that, office once a few months when my school requests an assignment in .docx / .pptx /.xlsx format. Edit: forgot about windows install USB-s (I know ventoy exists).

For me the thing that actually matters is Respondus not working on Linux. There’s no solution other than have a dedicated Windows laptop if I want to take tests for my college. Everything else has a workaround.

I’ve been a linux user since 2010s more or less. For some reason on my new tuxedo laptop with mint installed + qtile it sometimes freezes or logs me out. Super frustrating, and don’t know how to debug it. But mostly I’m happy with my setup.

I’ve been struggling to get Linux installed again. I had to reinstall Windows to even use the thing. I’m at a loss and really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m deep in that Dunning-Kruger valley where I know enough to really mess things up and not how to fix them.

I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop from 2023. I had Ubuntu installed no problem, but when. I wiped my Windows drive, it wouldn’t boot anymore. Pretty sure I wiped the bootloader too, I’m not sure. I can install Bazzite or Ubuntu on my Asus ROG Ally no problem, but had an issue later on and reverted that back to Windows too.

I also run local servers for Phantasy Star Online and Minecraft, and the best way to run those has been through Windows. I never use that computer except for running the two servers, so I don’t really care what operating system is on it, but if I could install my servers, that would be ideal.

Intel Arc card. Though, to be fair, it’s only in a small few cases.

On a surface level, it works fine for me, i installed pop os a few months ago and i’m happy. There is a lot i haven’t really figured out yet, and i don’t know if i ever will or have to. There is an UEFI update that has been pending ever since i installed it. It says i may have to hit the power button multiple times to install it, no idea what that even means, and i don’t really want to read 2 pages of documentation to make it work. Most peripherals i have are straight up not supported on linux. They work, but i have to use windows to configure them. I tried to install a razer software for linux, but the hurdles i had to go through and the amount of: now go to this website to install this flatpak is kinda nuts, just for it not to work at the end. I still don’t really know what a flatpak is, so that doesn’t help. On one of my mice, the muddle mouse button just straight up doesn’t work on linux. Every other works, it works on windows, this just doesn’t.

The weirdest thing that sometimes happens is that i play a game and i think when i plug in my headset or mouse, something freaks out and i can still use M1 to shoot for example, but i can’t use M1 in the game menu. Or any menu at all. I can use M2 to put the PC to sleep and then it works again.

I tried to use Wine to try some windows programs to see if they work, but i don’t even know where to start, i installed them, and everything looks like it should just work (or not) but it just does nothing.
