every time i have a bad rsd attack i just post a "controversial" take about #linux on mastodon like "it's bad and windows is better" because then my notifications invariably get flooded
@X_Raph_X linux is really good if you want to do only one thing for 10 years but windows is better if you need to do many things especially if they're A/V related
streaming with audio on linux is still elusive and to this day i need to use external mice on laptops because trackpads cannot click by default until you set them to
@ramin_hal9001 @aja@mathstodon.xyz well i'm still on windows 10 enterprise without any mention of windows 11 upgrade, and on the one device i use linux i'm stuck on 18.04 LTS because do-dist-upgrade simply refuses to work without any detailed explanation why
@Lemlems computer fairies has been online since 2017
re: meta, mastodon
@aquinton 😳😳😳😳
@AlwaysAutumn the only thing i can affirm is my girlfriend submitted a deed poll in february and has still not received it back or had it even published yet, she traveled out of country with me with her deadname passport now in june without issues so far
@bri_seven it's funny how the moment your identity is ever so slightly deviated from the "norm" automatically it's impossible for you to know as much as the next person

the one upside of the giant corporations tearing the fediverse to shreds is we can all just finally stop using the computer. im sure youre also ready to throw in the towel. youve tried so many times havent you. we all have. but nothing can be done. nothing good can come of it. nothing good can come of the computer
@aja@mathstodon.xyz and they don't like when i use the same arguments they use back against them
@aja@mathstodon.xyz that linux people love to get in my mentions over things that are absolutely inconsequential to the both of us but i like getting free notifications
linux priests keep plugging your ears about how your precious operating system does not work for anyone different than you
@SweetBlackHearts @zens good linux experiences are alien to me too, wow, it's almost like you're starting to get it
@SweetBlackHearts @zens windows is bad! Congrats i will not argue against you on that. All OS is bad. Computers are bad. i'm more level headed than you in this regard, because i'm not pestering you for saying that
@SweetBlackHearts @zens you wanted arguments for why linux is bad and we've given you them and you won't accept them therefore it's clear you're only in my mentions to argue in bad faith because we don't love your pet operating system
@SweetBlackHearts @zens so would you say i'm using it wrong if the distro i got came with gnome and swapping desktop environments is not as easy as telling me to do so
@zens @SweetBlackHearts AUDIO! that's a big one i forgot to mention
i do live streaming from time to time. my A/V set up will NEVER be supported by linux as easily as installing a program. i need to program a farking low-level driver in some obscure byzantine config language to do anything remotely resembling that and forget about VST support because that's filthy windows DLLs
@SweetBlackHearts @zens
- most people who design software for it cannot agree to be decent people (HELLO, GNU IMAGE MANIPULATOR PROGRAM)
i can keep going but i'll spare luci of more spam (sorry in advance)
@SweetBlackHearts @zens
- i spend SO LONG trying to WORK *AROUND* the idiosyncracies of UI, which change from distro to distro to version to version
- do-dist-upgrade never worked for me
- things break every time i do a package upgrade
- things i want to do need packages that are not in my manager because i can't do a distro upgrade, so i need to nuke the whole computer and start over
- nobody who designs software for it can agree to design it for non-programmers
@SweetBlackHearts @zens you ARE telling me to give you a better argument
so off the top of my head without having a linux device near me right now:
- i have never had linux make full usage of my graphics hardware
- i have never had linux play nice with all the HID i want to use
- less about the software but i have been constantly told by anyone using linux that it's my fault for wanting to use it that way, or having the hardware i have
