I have never been much of a Twitter fan but I have idea why people don’t just move away from it. What more incentives do people need? 🤷‍♂️

The tiling feature in KDE is really subpar, to be honest.

I got my Nvidia GPU before I even considered moving to Linux. I am honestly getting pretty tired of reading these gatekeeping comments telling me “I’m not allowed to complain about anything” or how I’m a trash person for buying an Nvidia card in the first place. Nvidia is the largest GPU manufacter, people are going to own Nvidia cards, you need to live with it. Be constructive and nice to other people.

X11 is rock solid with Nvidia, never had a single problem.

I had a lot of issues with Wayland on KDE, lots of flickering issues all the time. I moved to Hyprland and things are mostly fine. IntelliJ has ocasional problems but they are working on a Wayland version anyways.

Yes, I’m using the US international with dead keys layout. I also used it in Microsoft Windows. Here’s a couple of annoying examples:

  • ’ + c-> result: ć; expectation: ç
  • ’ + m -> result: ḿ; expectation: 'm (particularly annoying when typing in english; workaround: ’ + space key + m)
  • ’ + t -> result: nothing happens; expectation: 't (particularly annoying when typing in english; workaround: ’ + space key + t)

Right Alt + Comma does work for ç so at least I have that going for me. It’s still weird to have a different layout for electron apps :/

“just works” depends on your needs. There is. Polarizing opinion on the Wayland vs x11 because the experiences are also very polarizing.

I think the main problem is that Wayland is not a drop in replacement.

Every software needs to support Wayland, new environment flags need to be created, flags must be used with electron apps…

Nvidia support has been spotty and some functionality has not yet been implemented. I use a custom .xcompose file, which doesn’t work on electron apps. Let me know if there’s a better way to mimic window’s dead keys.

Overall, it’s hard for an end user to change from a solution that is working perfectly to a solution that requires a ton of work and doesn’t yet have the same functionality.

Everyone can understand that Wayland is the future but depending on your needs and hardware the current experience can be great or terrible.

Any exciting features coming up with plasma 6?

I have premium and I have received emails regarding the family plan, not popups. And honestly I want those emails because the family is a fantastic value proposition. Too bad you only get 3 custom domains to share with 5 other people, that is really not enough :/

If they ever change it to at least a domain per person I want them to email me about it.

Even worse than I thought, then :/

Power to you, friend. But with current snap store out of the box it’s really hard to recommend Ubuntu to anyone. Linux Mint seems such a better choice to newbies.

At the end of the day it’s not really a big deal, people should just use whatever feels best.

I don’t agree with this. It creates a monetary barrier to starting a new channel. If uploading costs money the number of uploads is going to reduce considerably, no one likes to throw money away.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

I’d love to run a system without Google but it’s hard. I tried to run LineageOS with microg for a week or two but eventually had to install Google Play Services. Lots of hurdles with push notifications and unfortunately some apps really refused to work when they detected no play services installed. It really sadden me, to be honest. Really wanted to make it work.

Never gave Linux phones a chance, I rely too much on apps that wouldn’t be available.

It’s awful for most new users, though. They don’t even know what the options are, how can they choose anything?

Not every new user is the same but if they are absolute newbies they should start with a user friendly distro, which Arch definitely isn’t.

pathief,
@pathief@lemmy.world avatar

Linux Mint should be the default answer for newbies. Tech savvy users can probably find “the right distro” themselves.

They mean the user will happily pay for the new windows version instead.

I guarantee there are way more pathetic individuals than you, friend!!!

I can only hope plasma6 has serious improvements on Wayland compatibility with nvidia drivers because plasma5 is unusable.

Yes, I know it works on your machine. It doesn’t work on mine :P

X11 development is dead so it really is just a matter of time before Wayland is the norm and you’ll be saying stuff like “back in my days we used X11 and we liked it!”

pathief,
@pathief@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think anyone is an X11 fan boy. We all know Wayland is the future. I would be using it if it worked on my machine.

Waiting for the driver to reach the repos to try it out. I am hopefull in an Hyprland future! You know, some day!

What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?

If you contact the customer support of your utility company, phone carrier, bank, or other service provider you’ll likely be flooded with requests to rate the experience and provide feedback. Likewise, corporate websites and email communications often solicit feedback via embedded buttons or links to online forms....

Who wouldn’t want a ton of feedback about the service provided?

I wish my costumers provided me with all their genuine feedback, all the things they hate about our app and why.
