What do these dorks think our skinbags contain?

I wonder if that’ll help fix Sunshine/moonlight being finicky with PS controllers on Arch-based systems. (Though idk if the AUR drama is still a problem)

Besides the inconsistency in spacing for “trans mask”/“transmask” driving me up a wall this is a fun post

This gives ADHD comm vibes. Approve

The gay agenda involves snacks and human rights.

The lesbian-specific agenda is that too but also taking over units of measurement ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had so much trouble with Linux. I understand the frustration that comes with Unix based OSes especially after being a heavy Windows user for years.

I did a bit of searching on your profile and saw you’re dual-booting with Windows on the same hard drive. I personally had issues with trying to set that up myself (Windows is a finicky, jealous b****). My own solution was installing my distro of choice onto a separate hard drive - if you can eventually do that I recommend it.

I know you’re getting a lot of flak for your post but it’s good to see honest opinions from people who genuinely want to try Linux but aren’t necessarily the same level of hyper-nerd as the typical demographic here.

Having information from a wider opinion pool will help in understanding how to get Linux to more of the population - but that’s a side tangent.

It’s encouraging to see that you are still open to trying in the future and taking a break from it can help you clear your head and come back with fresher eyes.

Unfortunately I don’t have much experience with NVIDIA drivers, and probably a similar amount of troubleshooting as Mint but I’ve found EndeavourOS to be friendlier to a middle-upper tech/gamer use case. Mint, for me, seemed cold and “office”-y and didn’t work well for me as I don’t only use my browser and word processor.

That said, distros are an almost ridiculously personal choice and part of that is trial and error. If you haven’t gotten the chance I recommend test driving a couple other distros in an Oracle VM (for user-friendliness) so you can decide what you like the feel of before committing to an install again, if and when you feel ready.

Good luck and godspeed until then.

At this point it’s hard to rationalize “random” anxiety (at least in the States)

I don’t have any advice for this exact problem but if it’s any consolation Firefox has randomly gotten offended at my video drivers and bricked my build. Multiple times. I use Librewolf when I can now.

That is hilarious though, sending frustrated IT vibes your way in both empathy and hopes it’ll help you reach the critical mass of superstition for the problem to fix itself before you have to threaten to take a hammer to it.

I’ve looked through the comms titled “greentext” and have not found this image but it’s a cute photo on its own!

Edit: took some scrolling but I found it

This is a cut so deep I can feel knitting needles and yarn materializing between my hands as I type.

Allies are welcome so long as you respect the people and the vibe 😎🥳 Besides more hands = more bricks 👀

I can stop whenever I want!

Precisely.
