Was a while ago, i think i did. All I know is I worked trough the whole doc to upgrade start to finish because I didn’t know which sections apply to me and which don’t, it was like ten hours of work trying t o understand everything which, holly shit, wasn’t easy and when I finally got completely through it didn’t work as expected.

Not that I think the docs were wrong, I am aware that I was the problem there, but it sometimes bothers me when people act like Linux is super easy and even grandma can understand and use it while I, the most techy persons in my peer group, give it my all and still dont even manage a simple upgrade, which would be absolutely no problem on the corporate OSs

Would be nice if it were just that easy, wouldn’t it?

Thats not what i experienced… Trying to run sketchup with wine, 3 days trial and error, doesn’t work even though winehq says its possible Using vive wireless? Not possible at all! or playing league, hard before vanguard, impossible after… Updating between major versions? Always breaks my setup and makes me start from scratch Using zoom for work with sharing desktop? Huge pita and u need to deepdive in Wayland to get I running (I didn’t so I switched back to x)! Install a non native daw like ableton and get it running without crashes and usable latency? Impossible! Using your rack audio interface? Not possible as there is no Linux driver and pipewire only recognizes half of the functions

I have a ryzen 5 12 core and a Vega 64, so hardware is decent and clearly not the problem here.

I am aware that those problems often stem from programs not being designed for Linux, not Linux itself being bad, but the effect is sadly the same: using halfbacked freeware or study IT to get it running, nothing apart from Mozilla “just works”

Havent brought myself to upgrade to 13 yet, but from 11 to 12 i followed to official guidlines, and when trying to reinstall my packages after kernel upgrade stuff got messed up. Packages didnt recognize their own config files anymore, wine completley behaved random, apt was flooded with error messages, the blzrry glassy Theme in I had in KDE plasma didn’t reinstall properly leaving my desktop looking horrible, half programs not working and some weird driver(?) behavior ( hanging Indefinitly when trying to shut down the system and stuff like that)

Maybe all would have been fixable for someone smart enough, for me it was easier to start again from scratch.

Not to say you are wrong in general, just a personal anecdote: i run Debian, everytime i need to upgrade from one major Version to the next I work for a day, dont get it done, cry, and then setup all my 3 PCs from scratch. (And NO a rolling release like arch or tumbleweed is not the solution, as I am not smart enough to manage different versions of dependencies and everything breaks at somepoint, Debian is at least stable between the major releases) My vive wireless will not work under Linux so I need to keep a dual boot windows on the workhorse which is difficult to maintain itself sometimes. And on my low spec PC audio is never synched with video and no matter what I do I don’t get it fixed

I love Linux for its philosophy and hate Microsoft for theirs, I will go back under no circumstances and agree that Linux gives better error messages and docs to fix things, but I never needed to do that with Microsoft. I never needed to open the registry apart from escaping out of box setup…

User experience for someone with high technical expectations for what should be possible (vr, games, hi-fi cinema, CAD, DAW) but only moderate technical skills (I can navigate GUIs and make basic use of the terminal (grep, nano, apt) but if I try to understand English primary source docs I don’t get it as after ~7 years of Linux I still only know about 30% of the necessary concepts and vocabulary just isn’t that good… Like, Damm, its hard for someone without any technical training who only has a few hours a month to work on his PC (meaning having time to fix and learn stuff, not just using the PC) to get the stuff done which is a no brainer on win

Any oppinions regarding librewolf vs ironfox?

I take green and Start with all weapons on earth. Imagine the redneck waking up with poop under their pillow, poop on their walls and whole cabinets filled with poop. Fkin hilarious

Indeed oh no

Architechts, motionless in white, rise against

Seldom Seen a profile so obviously alt troll account.

May try thinking?

That domain name makes me doubt its purpose xD

Teachers hate AI

Purely from a musical standpoint nice song, but cant stand hearing them anymore since I learned they are american fascists who have part taken in the failed jan 6 facist revolution

You misquote me -.-

In the mentioned post i was giving examples of verifiable and falsefiable claims.

The point is that those are statements which (given enough time and info) can be proben right of wrong, while statements like “Einstein was wrong” “stalin was right” are not, because they are too broad and don’t have a definitive and absolute binary “true” or “false” category.

This discussion is a waste of time

Ok… Not me

No?

Edit: don’t see your point. Its not like I am citing Donald trump…

Even in Germany (one of the most pro Israel countries in the eu) there are daily demonstrations against the Gaza genocide And the government continues to crack down on it, while supporting the genocide unabated.

Yeah cause the working class living in a country and the people in power are totally the same thing. If the government cracks down on protests it must mean that the people protesting must agree with there government /s

Whack argument

the international court has issued sanctions against Israel,

No it hasn’t. You’re just straight up lying, lol.

First: https://www.icj-cij.org/case/196 Second: if someone says something you don’t agree with the MUST be lying. There is no such thing as having different sources or being mistaken - all people are always acting in bad faith, you are the only good person on the planet /s

planes are flying meds and food to Gaza…

No they aren’t! Why are you just straight up lying!

https://www.zdfheute.de/politik/ausland/luftbruecke-gaza-bundeswehr-israel-nahost-100.html

Yeah sure, again I must be lying with bad intentions, can’t be that your not informed properly - must be me acting in bad faith

Have you ever been to Europe?

Have you been to Gaza? Ooooh wait, they aren’t human like people in Europe, so they don’t matter.

You call me out for lazy shittalk (point given) And than to this, your so clearly better, just don’t answer questions, don’t offer sources, verbal abuse people disagreeing with you and assuming they hate people - you are such a knight in white armor

I wasn’t to Gaza, I’ve only watched primary sources who were (al jazira, jung & naiv, bbc, etc.) but at least I don’t think I can look into their heads like you do with Europeans.

You will not catch me saying “people in Gaza just don’t think Israels are not humans” While you do exactly that with Europeans.

Arguing with people on hexvear and ml is always such a waste of time -.-

Yeah have at it.

That’s exactly my point. People see their own system is bad, they check that china/real existing socialism is regarded as the opposite to the system they consider bad - they have valid points but also pink-red glasses which makes them overlook problems.

My point is, that we have 3 world powers, China, us and Russia, and ALL of them act in hegemonial fashion.

Yes, us is currently the worst, but NONE of them fight for the working class, ALL of them fight to keep the ones rich, who are rich and the ones powerful, which are powerful in their respective system.

If you consider yourself Marxist Leninist, may read a little more Marx and a little less Lenin. What China does is NOT what Marx sees as communist, it doesn’t even hold up to his imagination of socialism.

Thanks :) Sometimes gendering in foreign languages is still hard for me

I don’t see reason to demonize people at all not Americans not Chinese.

We should be in solidarity with everyone from the working class, no matter his or her place of birth.

Fighting for the working class always means fighting against oppressors.

In the historical period we live in us is the worst of them, but that doesn’t make other ones good.

Freedom of minorities, press, and assembly are under atack nearly everywhere, in the us in the EU, in China and in Russia - but those are tools the working class needs to build a better system.

Bravo, you checked that the us government system has major flaws, may critically look at there enemies, for they are not even close to the ideals they pretend following.

Demonizing doesn’t help, but idolizing also doesn’t.

May try to fight for the people, not for the powerfull.

There is no system existing on this planet at the moment which will do that for you. Simping for one or the other oppressor doesn’t cut it, even if some are better then others, you need to fight for the people, not the powerful.
