Not exactly true. There were mounts you could only get from buy the trading cards (spectral tiger being the most popular)

It’s a number of reasons. One I don’t see already mentioned is that Apple and Google require apps to target the latest versions of their OSs and libraries. For example Google released a new version of the Google Play Billing Services library. All apps were required to update to the newest version by mid August (you could request a two month extension). So to the end user it seems like nothing has changed. But under the hood the app is now using the latest apis. This could also apply to non-Google/Apple apis. Maybe a change of the developers own api was necessary.

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

I’ve always wanted to get into the discworld series but the number of books is a bit intimidating. Where’s a good place to start? Is there some overarching narrative or can you read them in any order?

This was my first thought too lol

Thanks for trying to help. I have already managed to import the ovpn certs using the CLI. It’s just the Gnome import wizard that was not working. I suspect one of my monitors is incorrectly reporting its native resolution and refresh rate as its an issue that occurrs with both nvidia and AMD gpus. I’m on vacation now but I’ll visit linuxquestions when I’m back because it’s a really annoying issue lol.

I’ve been dailying Linux for 6 or 7 years with a variety of hardware configurations and there’s always been something that’s broken or not working correctly

Ssd wake is a bios issue. Monitor issue has happened on every distro I’ve tried. Vpn cert import is a distro issue as its been fine in other distros. Idk what’s going on with chrome. It’s not bothered me enough to look into yet. When I do have to use windows there are non of these issues.

Let’s not pretend Linux isn’t without its own jank. Currently broken on my install

• importing open vpn certificates
• USB file transfers
• after monitors time out and go to sleep resolution, refresh rate and screen positioning resets
• sometimes fails to go to sleep
• have to change /proc/acpi/wakeup after every boot or the nvme ssd immediately wakes the system up from sleep
• Chrome can’t update

I know I’ll get down voted for saying this because lemmy is a Linux circlejerk. But if we want Linux to proliferate we can’t keep ignoring its problems. And sure, if I could be bothered I could probably fix most of these things with enough time. But I don’t want to spend my limited free time fixing stuff that really should just work out of the box

Looks like Eddie Izzard
