If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it’s a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn’t happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don’t think that Linux users should promote it like it’s a free Windows, because it isn’t. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.
Frankly, I didn’t go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.
Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.
China hasn’t been communist in a long time.
Try reading slower. Look up words you don’t understand with a dictionary.
You’re misinformed. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.
All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.
Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I’ve been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.
What do you mean by “actually work in the real world”? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.
I’m going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.
What a ridiculous straw man. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it’s easier than Windows.
This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.
That’s a trend I’ve noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn’t feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that’s the reason why more people aren’t choosing Linux.
I’ve never used mouse gestures. I’m willing to bet most users don’t. People aren’t picking up Linux and going “Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can’t program my mouse gestures!” This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don’t badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.
Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn’t care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.
The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn’t even use it.
Granted, that was “a while” ago, so my experience might be better now, but it’s made me very wary of it.
It seems reasonable to me that you could admire somebody without thinking that they’re a friend or family. That’s what being a fan is. Some of the more extreme fans are going to want to know intimate details about the object of their admiration. I don’t see how it’s different from any other obsessive hobbyist.
I don’t understand your comment, especially the last sentence. Who thinks that celebrities are their friends?
Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.
Or being Korean in Japan… The funny thing is that anthropologists believe that the (non-indigeonous) Japanese actually descended from Koreans.
Why would the word “obviously” make you think that they’re being sarcastic?
The solution is donate them. Don’t send them to a landfill. Give poor students a free laptop with Linux installed, etc. There are probably thousands of uses for an old computer that are better than sending it to a landfill.

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.
It’s not about pulling the plug. It’s about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.
If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it’s going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.
Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they’ve never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.
I’ve always had a password. One of the biggest benefits of Linux is security. Why would you undermine that by not using a password?
Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.
Now, how are they different?
Could somebody explain what “fedipact” means?
At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right…?
