aaa now the Arch laptop fucked up my cloud storage too and I don’t even know why. I literally haven’t touched this stupid laptop in like 6 months and suddenly everything is broken

this is exactly what I’m talking about when I say “Linux just suddenly borks itself and then you have to deal with it”. a few months ago people on Fedi were trying to tell me that that’s not true but it is literally happening to me right now. I just want my stupid laptop to work and now I have to learn so much tech bullshit even though it was perfectly functional 6 months ago

lycanmatriarch@furry.engineer@kasdeya I've had serious borks In Arch that I still don't understand (current OS redo is almost a year in now). Meanwhile Ubuntu 22.02 ate half its settings and menus - I eventually moved the server to Debian and luckily the Plex VM survived an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04

@lycanmatriarch omg thank you - this is so validating to hear. I feel like Fedi is so incredibly Linux-oriented that for the most part they just can’t understand how anyone could have problems with Linux - and if they do have problems then they don’t understand how those problems could be difficult to solve - and it’s so frustrating

lycanmatriarch@furry.engineer@kasdeya I also have a lot of weird/had to adopt new workflow issues like how my XP-Pen display tablet only works with X11 and that means I have to change a lot of my screen recording sources in OBS when streaming.
I honestly worry about how prepared the Linux community is for the likes of the Steam Cube which may entice some people to choose it as their daily driver computer. This group will likely contain creative careers like artists, streamers, and even game devs that haven’t experienced Linux before. The Arch wiki is good - so good it can sometimes help with other distros in just understanding the components of the system, but are the wider resources there to help with a full OS transition?
