Cool, get something else, then.

I recall reading a few weeks ago that Nvidia released new driver updates that would fix stuttering issues, iirc specifically with Wayland. I got no specifics for you, but maybe a few searches will shed light

Though I hate systemd with a passion, this does seem to be a “doh” situation…

Systemd changes my entire system to the point that 5 minute tasks now take me an hour, I hate it with a passion…

But this ain’t it

Not sure if you’re coming or simping M$

That’s an immediate nope for me. Kde or nothing

I don’t want to be that guy, but that PHP function call at the end that you said never really gets fixed… I haven’t used that in 20 years of PHP, and I’m pretty sure that hasn’t existed since like 10-15 years ago. People seem to love to hate php because 20 years ago it did something not quite right.

The point is hoping there are enough dumb people out there willing to pay for software that is freely available after you lie some to their face.

See also anything that Microsoft produces, they are a billion dollar company with that shit somehow.

Gotta make sure Linux also has ads and spyware somehow!

Welcome to the Wonderful world of nonsense LLM generated articles about to drown out any meanie information

Yeah I figured he was going purposely for a memory overflow

Yeah, auto correct isn’t my friend

I don’t know other IDE’s very well, haven’t used others in years.

Amongst things… PHPstorm allows me to rename a method and it will automatically rename that method in any extended class, interface, etc, and any call to they method too. It usually, mostly, does a reasonable job at it, but sometimes it forks up big time.

I guess I am willing to try eclipse again, see how well that goes.

Why?

I get your point. I also get that the average noob is now starting to hear about Linux. I also get that the average noob had been complaining about the windows bullshit, thinking that it’s a computer thing that is normal, is now learning that actually, no, it’s not normal.

I’ve seen many a noob dipping their toes into Linux, and quite a few staying. Call it Dad’s trying to fix the computer after he fixed the toaster, but still.

Also companies are more and more interested. Once people use Linux on their company computer and see how easy it is to get the same nice system on their own computer, you will see them switch

My point is: you need a critical mass and I feel (I might be wrong) that clinic is approaching that. 10 years ago many noobs didn’t even know what a Linux is, today they actually do and they keep hearing there are no ads, it’s free it’s safer, it’s easier, less bullshit… They’ll come.

Exactly that for me too, I’ve opened multiple bug reports over the years, and IIRC, even Worte with one of the devs. I think it needs a good amount of extra work on connectivity and user feedback to clearly system why something isn’t working

When it works (which mostly, it does not) it’s awesome

Hey míster, 1999 called, they want their Linux comment back.

Linux is easier to install than Windows. On windows 11 vs. Ubuntu Linux:

Literally last time I installed both, Linux was a 25 minute task that includes download time. Windows was a week long hell that in total cost me over 7 hours, required me to make bios changes, run VMs to try and burn the damn image and a whole lot more headaches

Out of the box, Linux will detect and support most hardware quite well. Again, can’t say the same for windows where a lot of manual labour was involved.

On how it works? Even my mother can sit down and use it out of the box, talking from experience.

Is Linux perfect? By no means it is. Are there spill specialty devices out there that require extra work or may not even be supported? I’m sure there are. Does the same go for Windows? You bet your ass.

Does Linux have a better user experience than Windows? You bet your ass. No ads, no marketing BS, no money begging, no tricks, no clutter, no OS stuffed with sponsored crap, it. Just. Works.

So when running a Linux desktop, what does one do to avoid these search engines? I use DuckDuckGo for the moment, but if love some alternatve that isnopen source too, self hosted if need be, and federated would be awesome

I’m sure there are some closed softwares left worth paying for but personally I would stop paying for all of it.

The only software left that I pay for is phpstorm and it’s buggy as hell and for every bug report I get a “well, nobody really cares”. Then what the hell am I paying for?

Well I’m paying for features not found in other systems but seriously, it soeerds my work up by 300% and slows it down by 200% due to the extreme amount of bugs… it’s not acceptable for a paid product but unfortunately there is no good alternative open source product yet.

I’ve noticed a LOT of pushback against the ads in MS shit. Microsoft has become greedy (well what am I saying, they’ve always been, kist really effin more greedy now) and somehow seems to invest even less in development. All Microsoft apps I see today are just painfully painfully bad. Again, not that they’ve ever been particularly good at anything besides keyboards, but lately it’s been comically worse.

I’ve seen Linux desktop grow significantly now, and I really do see it happen that Linux crosses that threshold where there is just no more stopping it
