onlinepersona, to opensource in Don't be that guy.

Then you’re right. The frustration would be understandable, the expression thereof towards the developer, not.

onlinepersona, (edited ) to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.

The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don’t want something else. Now I’m just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I’m not a fan of endless parentheses)

onlinepersona, (edited ) to linux in Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

Thanks for the thoughtful response, but I disagree with a lot of things you said. I could quote everything I disagree with and write a paragraph, however it would be a meaningless endeavor as a moderator looking at the post would probably decide against adding distrochooser to the sidebar - regardless of my opinions.

Cheers

P.S thanks for teaching me a new thing: XY problem :)

Ultimately, what are you trying to achieve (and why); what is the problem even?

There have been complaints in posts about people asking for advice on which disto to use, that there are too many such posts.

What is your solution to this problem?

Provide users the tools to possibly answer the question themselves before creating a post.

And where does adding Distrochooser to the sidebar come into plan?

DistroChooser is a self-help tool for that purpose.

Have you perhaps thought of other possible solutions and why they might be inferior to the suggested one?

  • keep answering posts --> more complaints, possibly silent quitting of community
  • write bot --> I ain’t got the time, maybe somebody has, dunno what the bot would do
  • find alternative website --> I ain’t got the time

wat? got a screenshot or a link to the result?

onlinepersona, to opensource in Xbox Game Bar for Linux?

Is is just to record the screen or does it do something special in addition to that?

There are a few screen recorders out there. Maybe one will fit your fancy?

Also I can recommend alternativeto.net to find alternatives to just about any software or service out there. Here’s the page on the XBox Game Bar

I really need a link to a blurb about the CC thing, but not today. Basically think AI.

onlinepersona, to linux in Where can I post questions on how do construct formulas in Onlyoffice/Libreoffice spreadsheets?

Just FYI, There’s a button called “print screen” or “PrntScr” or something similar on most keyboards. If you hit that, it’ll take a screenshot that you can edit and upload :)

onlinepersona, to linux in openSUSE Logo Contest Concludes With Winners Selected

This is fine.

onlinepersona, (edited ) to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

I’m not sure I follow… are you saying Linux users judge windows by very old problems?

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

Lucky you. Tried 4 different routers --> same issue.

I gave up on RasPis long ago.

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

For new hardware, it’s no surprise when it doesn’t work out of the box as most drivers are written for windows first. That’s not a fault of linux.

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

I’ve had 3 raspberry pis (1,2,3) and none have had stable WiFi. After an hour or two it would drop and the logs would get spammed with some error that I can’t remember. Might be this issue wlan freezes in raspberry pi 3/PiZeroW (Not 3B+) . Similar issue Every two hours, like clockwork: “wpa_supplicant[313]: nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed”.

After that, I gave up on WiFi on Raspberries and used LAN, but they are so underpowered… my nextcloud instance took ages to do anything, XBMC (now Kodi) was slow and couldn’t render videos > 720p (it was struggling with 720p honestly), even a simple audio proxy over bluetooth (forward bluetooth audio from phone to speaker) barely functioned as the bluetooth cut out or it was janky as hell.

It’s easier to put a old phone as a server than a raspberrypi.

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

Thanks. I’m out of the loop.
