Thanks for your detailed reply.

1. The solution for setting the clock seem to work! Awesome.

2. I don’t have kWallet enabled but saving the password as unencrypted in the network settings.

3. Hmm, I just installed akmod-nvidia.x86_64 with dnf. Tried to run nvidia-settings in terminal. I get this error:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

(nvidia-settings:14910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.551: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

** (nvidia-settings:14910): CRITICAL **: 14:10:49.552: ctk_powermode_new: assertion '(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)' failed

4. • 5. I guess I need to hop distro again! :( But it will probably be faster than fixing

Thanks for the suggestion.

I cannot boot into Windows, see point 4. But thanks anyway - might fix the problem if I would be able to boot into Windows.

No idea what the command does but it seems to work :) Thanks

The problem is that I am not able to boot into Windows. I don’t have the option when I boot into GRUB. My thinking is that it does not have to do with windows setting the time.

I have the same experience as the author you just replied to. While some of what you are saying is true, I have never had everyday issues like these on windows. I switch to Linux once a year to change things up. Mint, arch, Debian… A few major issues I experience

• login screen just freezes after standby
• wifi not automatically recognizing what settings e.g. security protocol my work wifi uses
• external monitors not working
• updates just breaking my whole OS or not working

These are essentials, not something I can simply learn to live with or fix on the fly.

Would love to switch! I can get through work without proprietary software so that’s not the issue.

Maybe for people who are not interested in smartphones? Could also be an educational project if you want to dive into embedded systems. You’ll also save battery on your phone.

LinuxMint

• Stop crashing when I log in after standby
• Weird graphical glitches
• The WiFi manager. Trying to connect to work WiFi but I then have to fill in info on certificates, protocols and what not. Stuff I don’t understand, don’t experience on Mac/windows and don’t want to know about.
• At least try to make an interesting package manager/store. How about some screenshots and icons?

Yeh and apparently Lemmy folks down votes legit bad experiences with gnu/Linux. If you think the user is the problem here, this community seriously have a problem if thet want gnu/Linux to be mainstream.

Installs mint. Connects to wifi at work. Prompted with a window that wants me to specify certificate versions or whatever. No clue about what any of it means and never get to connect. Uninstalled and back to Windows. Mint so easy to use /s 👍

Well, only way to solve this is by having people here who aren’t idiots (whatever that means to you) to participate and make things better. But this is too hard for most people, I guess.

Some guy had success selling the idea that it does stop pirating to someone in management or something.

For software I would recommend a combination of

• musicbee for library and music management and sync playlists over wifi locally
• maybe combine with mp3tag if you don’t like the built in tagger in musicbee. Only reason for me to use mp3tag is to include the style tag from Discogs into the genre field. Not possible with musicbee. If this is not in your interest musicbee’s tagger is amazing.
• there are two private trackers focusing on music only. Insane collections. One is very hard to get into. The other is way easier.
• rutracker is also a great source for music

This.
