This has got to be the most armchair comment I’ve seen all year

I can only say one thing: be the change you want to see. Nothing is going to change if nobody bothers doing anything

Except that’s false because he did not murder anyone (that we know of). Be angry at the system and the government allowing it to exist not the ones using it as intended. Much of what I see here is jealousy of millionaires and virtue signalling instead of people truly suggesting change. Anyone here can start any business, go start a fair insurance business, no one’s preventing you, and that will actually help the issue instead of crying online

this violent act of murder has done more towards equallity of healthcare for americans than thousands of people speaking could have hoped to achieve.

What exactly did it do to help with the equality situation? It’s delusional to think UHC hasn’t simply replaced its CEO and increased security. Business as usual.

Looks like an issue with your windows install. I would check in the settings that you’re not in power saving mode or something like that, it could reduce the power allocation for the GPU and CPU, and it may also disable the dedicated GPU when enabled. It’s true there are some games that are faster in Linux, but it’s usually within 5-10% of Windows, not over double the performance

I wish gnome would do the same and show a notification in December as well

“thatll teach them damn librals”

Gnome is my choice because it doesn’t look and feel like it was designed in 2015. I also much prefer the workflow with the touchpad gestures. I used to have extensions but since I reset my PC and didn’t install any apart from the one that shows my cpu temperature in the top bar.

Pro tip, cut your onion in a well ventilated space. Like for example crack a window over the counter that you are cutting on, it will greatly reduce the effect, and it doesn’t even need to be wide open

In GTK/GNOME apps this is remedied by scrolling your mouse wheel over the scrolling indicator (the small side bar that shows up while scrolling). It makes the scrolling much faster this way, but I agree it’s not ideal and the windows behaviour is better UX wise

I agree that some people like you may not be fit for the current way of doing things in terms of job research. But you have to remember that being socially able is also a very important part of the job at most companies, because very rare are the cases where you don’t work as part of a team. I would even say communication is a bigger part of the job compared to the actual brute skill for most companies. You can always learn or perfect a new programming language or platform, it’s a matter of reading. Soft skills like social abilities cant really be learned, and so this is why a lot of companies actually choose people who they think will fit in a team rather that who will close the most issues

Every time I use python it makes me want to throw my computer through my window. Doesn’t happen with other languages. Pip fucking sucks it seems like every time I want to install dependencies for a project there is one that throws a compilation error when installing it. Like, why does it not try to download the version of the package that works with my version of python?? It doesn’t even tell me why it failed!!!

There was always a need for a specific system dependency like for the file picker. There was no universal API that uses a system provided way to have a file picker. It had to be hacked together by adding dependencies to the app and everything that comes with this

the good thing is that virtually everyone uses GNOME and KDE, so the small issues are mostly encountered by more advanced users with custom setups. The main point is that app developers can now develop apps that will work anywhere that implements the required features, and if it doesnt, then too bad, show an error message. Its the same kind of problem with, for example, webcams. The user may or may not have a webcam connected, in which case you display an error popup with a clear message that it does not work because the feature is not implemented. They could go into fallbacks but those are usually platform/desktop specific (which goes against the point of building using the standard stack)

I love the flatpak Wayland portals and systemd desktop stack. It allows Linux to finally have some sort of standard that everyone agrees on. This is what has been holding Linux back for so many years, it’s basically impossible to build a Linux app that will work for everyone because of this. Now we have a single dedicated system APIs that is available basically everywhere

WHY THE SAD FACE

Stay with ubuntu unless you have an issue with ubuntu itself, because the grass isn’t greener on the other side despite what some people might say. The only real difference that you’ll find are different default settings/programs and the time it takes for a software update to reach your final linux install.

Some distros like Ubuntu prefer slightly older versions that have been proven to be stable/bug free while others like Arch mostly go for the newest everything where available, at the cost of stability. If you like something a little bit more balanced, you have Fedora (which is my preference).

The beauty of Linux is that most software will work no matter the distribution you use. If the reason you want to use Linux Mint instead of regular Ubuntu is the desktop environment, you can at any time install the Cinammon desktop (the one used by Mint), here’s an article that guides you through the process: https://itsfoss.com/install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu/

Reposting the link from another comment on here, there is a PR to build the flatpak from source https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/222
