  • Hardware support is either non existent>generic driver>manufacturer driver that never gets updates

    This sucks because on windows you’d be getting manufacturer driver support with updates and software tool support for additional configuration.

    All the other “problems” are double edged because yes they are a problem for some but for others its a huge positive. For instance having all the files like .bashrc .compose .desktop as a way of configuring things is cool when you know an arcane when you dont. It should be in the settings gui.














  • Which distro are you using? Did this happen after an update? What audio output device are you using and how is it connected? Run pactl info to see if you’re using pulseaudio or pipewire. If you’re using pipewire you should see this line Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.10)

    When is this issue happening? Sometimes audio crackles when the cpu us under heavy load


  • Its a bad time at the moment. The world is experiencing significant turmoil and you’re seeing that reflected in people’s responses. People on Lemmy are generally pretty politically aware so they are feeling the despair more than average. In more peaceful times the community was very happy and friendly and I believe it will return to that once things chill.

    Its also hard to write thoughtout responses to something everyone agrees with so there only really seems to be a discussion to be had if there is also a disagreement to be had.



  • I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.

    He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.

    If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.

    Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.



  • I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.
