And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.
Is it really clown behavior or is it a 200 iq move?
How is this clown behavior? If anything, not accepting the proposed solution to the issue would be it
This is more like, wisdom of the ancients kind of thing
Yeah? Try playing MYST VR with a quest 2 and Nvidia GPU.
I love Linux, but sometimes I just wanna pin it against the wall and make violent love to it until my issue is fixed. Though usually the love making is more of a frustrating 6 hours of troubleshooting.
BTW, are we allowed to sexualize an OS?
Funny, this sounds an awful lot like people who complain about the fediverse
This.
You cant decide about your instance? Well how the fuck did you decide to use reddit then instead of all the other forum based Websites then?
Fine, I’ll give this strategy a shot too: Linux is crap because when I switch USB audio interface with a switcher the audio becomes extremely borked likely because of buffer settings somehow changing, to me it feels like the buffer is too small and then all these audio crackling issues start propping up.
Windows doesn’t have this issue whatsoever, it’s only when I switch back to Linux in the switcher that the audio is borked.
Pipewire/Pipewire-pulse
I have a Bluetooth dongle headset-mic. Probably for the same buffer reason, it constantly breaks audio when I have multiple audios in/outs running.
The only consistent fix is switching to another audio driver and playing a video on YouTube while I switch it back.
YouTube specifically? Or does it work as long as any audio is running? I usually leave games on and switch back in and the audio’s borked.
Oké lets see how good crowd trouble shooting is…
Nobara on Fedora can not have the exact same mouse being plugged in multible times. They seem to merge into one and all but one will be ignored (at random).
Okey, without joking*. I have seen quite some people who are unable to Google anything. But I guess that’s why LMGTFY was made.
[*] this is actually a bug, not a joke. If you happen to know the answer. Please share it, it’s driving me nuts
As in 2 of the same model?
Follow up question - why do you have multiple mice plugged into your computer?
Trackball mouse for work, regular mouse for gaming. This is peak and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I like to point with both hands, and with my feet if I’m in a good mood.
To be faiiiirrr googling nowadays is a sysiphean exercise in frustration
I’m gonna have to endorse this because you’ve already proven that it works.
Windows and Mac have taught people to ignore safety error messages. We’re gonna be dealing with the fallout of that for generations.
Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn’t work for my new pc build.
I’ve contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows
I’ve posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied
I’ve posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.
I’ve gone so into the weeds I’m trying to remap pins because I’m assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it’s been weeks and I can’t solve it.
Again, I’d never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.

What always has me seeing red is when I’m deep diving forums searching for anyone who has had my exact issue. Finding people with similar, but not exactly the same, issues with easy solutions that don’t work for me. Finally finding one forum post from 9 months ago, it is literally the exact same issue I’m dealing with. One reply. It’s OP a few days/weeks/months later replying to their own post only to say:
Nevermind, I fixed it.
But no solution, no response to commenting on the post or DMing…
Makes me wanna slap a mfr…
Does it work on Windows?
Because it could just as well be a shitty solder job
Also next time never say you use Linux to a support tech. They will blame it all on linux, whether the pc is broken in half or covered in rat piss, it will always be you who broke it by using unsupported software.
This!
Have you tried making a meme about how windows is so much better?
I just watched that Linus tech tips video where the guy uninstalls critical system components by accident while trying to install steam.
First the GUI for the package manager refuses to do it, then apt gives him a warning that he’s going to break his system. It even makes him type “Yes, do what I say!” but he’s too much of a clown to read the warning messages all over his screen. He even smirks at the camera about how silly it is that he would need to type such a thing before he proceeds to mess everything up.
People were trying to defend him, saying that the system shouldn’t have allowed him to do it or that the warnings should have been flashing and shooting rainbows out of the monitor or that a robot arm should have come out and started honking his clown nose to let him know he was doing something stupid.
Linus and Linux is a rare view behind the curtain
There have been some accusations about him being a sociopath by Louis Rossmann and others, so it might just be that CIA money flowing into his pocket thats preventing him from rational thought
Also, isn’t he a fucking IT guy? How did he even manage to build that many PCs and make all those videos about tech topics when he can’t even read a red coloured warning and having to type in a very suspicious message?
Linus bothers me quite a bit and I’m fairly critical of him, but I don’t know if I would go as far as saying he is a sociopath. We would probably even be friends, but I would call him on his bull shit. This is my own observations but he strikes me as having pretty strong ADHD combined with getting lucky and big a bit faster than he could adjust to.
His company has a much lower turnover rate than the industry standard and it doesn’t seem like anyone that has been on screen couldn’t do well elsewhere. That implies to me that the working environment is at least pretty good. He also seems to want to do right by his employees and knows that he is the face of the company and ultimately their paycheck. That combined with an ego that is a little too big, and maybe some issues with reading the room associated with being on the spectrum (again supposition), makes some of his reactions to public push back understandable even if it’s not OK.
Also it depends on what you consider an IT guy. He doesn’t have experience coding or doing any low level stuff, he just really enjoys building computers and tech in general which can explain a lot of his poor or dumb decisions. What he appears to actually be very good at with tech is his knowledge of supply chains, interactions between companies, and knowing what consumers are likely to actually want.
I haven’t watched much of Linus’s stuff, but his behavior in the three Linux challenge videos reminded me of the way Conan O’Brien would act with his staff. It struck me as an off-putting blend of arrogance, entitlement, and impatient senility.
Yes, exactly
Like, take his 10 year old Video of sticking in aß many Keyboards as possible
He somehow knew all the standards, could troubleshoot it all and still just seemed very competent
With the Linux video, I think he’s like trying to behave like a new user? (Like please tell me who the fuck would be a new user and not go to the forum once there’s a problem, but instead use this terminal and ignore all warnings?)
But even then, like, he knows his channel is not directed towards very tech incompetent people he is trying to emulate. But instead of just doing it like he himself would use Linux, he still put up this costume of ignorance and pretended like this is hard to do. But if you even had the slightest experience with the terminal, even cmd, you will instantly see for how dumb he is taking you by „Trying to emulate his viewership”. And even if you don’t want to make a positive video about Linux, just talk about how office dosent work on it, or how kernel level anti cheat is bad
But instead he is still making videos about trying some very special shit no one would ever do (like install arch as a beginner, install SteamOS even tho there’s Chimera and Bazzite, etc) failing at this very special thing, and then talking about it like this is the Linux experience.
Like, for real, I will bet my nudes that this decade he will try to install Gentoo, say that its the Linux experience, fail badly, and say that Linux is bad.
In fairness, when you’re used to windows those kinds of warnings basically mean nothing to you.
It’s like when you hit snooze on an alarm so many times that you just sleep through your alarm and it becomes background noise.
Also, it’s defiantly a glaring issue if installing steam means uninstalling your whole DE.
Still, as a tech YTer who was exploring something out of his elements he should have looked into every error, warning, and message.
Also, it’s defiantly a glaring issue if installing steam means uninstalling your whole DE.
Can you explain to me how the fuck that even happened?
And 2. Could it have been prevented by him actually following the installation guide and rehashing the bloody image?
To be fair that was a broken package in pop_os. It wasn’t entirely his fault. If his view was to operate as a normal user then he os uninstalling your desktop environment when you try to install steam is a valid concern.
this is the way. the best way to get linux support is to claim something isnt there or working. instant flood of reply from nerds and adhs ppl… i am not advocating it, but OP is wrong…
It’s not just Linux. Make a statement related to anything with authority where someone can see it, and someone will come along and take the opportunity to be Right on the Internet.
Relevant xkcd: Duty Calls
So many times I see junior Devs (or not so juniors) and normies seeing an error message and, visibly, static plays between their ears on their mental TV set, then they just click the first button that looks appropriate and complain it didn’t work.
The text of the message does not get read or parsed.
“You need to close the program to continue”. Doesn’t work.
“Unexpected X at line N” Doesn’t work.
Drives me insane.
Unfortunately, so many error messages are so utterly useless that it has taught many people that all errors are just pointless background noise even if they’re actually giving useful info.
I mean, java and Microsoft errors are preceded by 120 characters of useless trash oftentimes, that is equally as infuriating.
Yeah, proprietary software are the worst offenders.
Then ask why no one has patched this well-known bug after all these years, and get flooded with ‘anyone can contribute’ comments.
But its true
No one is paying these people to contribute to Linux. If someone would bring you donuts every day for free, you wouldn’t start barrading them with comments about how he comes late sometimes.
And if you want that bug to be fixed, pay a software engineer to fix it, out of your own pocket. If they then dont do it, then you can start talking about them being late.
Be grateful for all these people making your computer more than a brick.
Sure, but ‘make your own doughnuts’ isn’t exactly a useful response to that.
Could you tell me where I said you should just contribute yourself? My grep dosent seem to find it.
I said ‘don’t complain about things people are making in their free time for you to enjoy.’
That was in reference to what you were responding to.
I used to do some linux training for new hires at my old job. The company had a training room with a rack of servers for lab work.
It was a training on how to deploy the product on a customer server. I personally wrote the instructions and tested them on the lab machines after a fresh install.
I had others test the lab instructions. I even had people from non-tech roles verify that they too could do the labs by following the instructions.
Still I get a guy in the training complaining that “this doesn’t work” and I can see from the error on his screen that he must have skipped one of the steps in the lab instructions.
He’s not even trying to figure it out. Even though others are finishing, he just decided that it doesn’t work and gave up.
Well, if you’re expecting users to read…
