  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.

    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.

    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.

    Why switch to second person in the last panel?

    [–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

    Because I wrote this while in class.

    Funny, this sounds an awful lot like people who complain about the fediverse

    I gave up on switching to linux after losing 2 entire evenings setting it up (linux mint) just for my games not to run and not a single solution I could find working.

    I'll give it another try once I buy my new PC and set that up, but Linux is not as plug and play as windows and I totally understand that non-IT people want to stay away from it now. The community makes it sound as if everything is almost out of the box simple but that is not the case at all.

    Don't give up before you have tried using memes to get support!

    [–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    The only way to actually get support with linux issues huh πŸ˜‚

    [–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Your plan sounds good, then you can take your time working on the old PC and re-install as needed, especially because the newer windows versions are happy to kill a dual booted Linux.

    OkΓ© 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

    [–] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    Follow up question - why do you have multiple mice plugged into your computer?

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

    Trackball mouse for work, regular mouse for gaming. This is peak and you cannot convince me otherwise.

    Luckily this is being addressed, and it's being renamed to "Copy Something And More" (CSAM for short)
