It’s pretty normal as far as I am aware.

I have another friend who uses Linux and he also disro hops, same as me.

We’ll try out a distro and if it turns out we don’t like it, doesn’t suit our needs, doesn’t support something we want to do or it just breaks then we try another.

I started on Ubuntu many years ago and grew to dislike it. I stay away from Debian for the most part these days. Tried Kubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Mint etc.

I tried Manjaro and hated it. It stopped working when my monitors went to sleep, could not bring them back. Also had some PC freezes. Tried another installation of it and same thing.

I tried Garuda, did not like.

I tried Pop!_OS but I don’t recall much about it.

I’ve now settled on Fedora based distros. Fedora is quite nice but my main one is Nobara. I’m currently playing around with Bazzite.

I’d like to see what Steam OS is about when they do some releases for their current version. I think I played around with a very old version years ago.

Never tried Arch, I might do it just because or so I can say I did.

I’ve probably forgotten a few others between.

Is this all just more misdirection from the actual horrible stuff they are doing?

Another Greenland LOOK OVER THERE! moment.

I got that creepy feeling from him the first time I saw a video of him. Every photo of him I saw set off alarms. I’ve also never understood why anyone even likes the guy.

This was years before all the issues came to light.

Bloody One Piece.

I tried Manjaro last year and I hated it.

Something about the distro would lock up my PC, it would freeze from time to time.

I disabled the standby/sleep function, but allowed my monitors to go into standby. But if I left my PC for an hour or two my screens would not wake up, different types and brands. I had so many issues with Manjaro and while speaking with a friend I told him I had moved over to Nobara but he was still on Manjaro. But then a few weeks later he mentioned he was running Nobara. Seems he also ditched it.

He’s been working with Putin on those amounts.

Googly eyes look more alive and soulful than he does by a long shot.

Xitler.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I have a reoccurring problem in Linux, happening in both Nobara 39 and 40 as well as Fedora 40. I understand that Nobara is Fedora based.

Sometimes my USB headset just does not detect, at all. Plug it in, no notification sound that it has been plugged in and does not appear as an audio device.

I have tried 3 different headsets and none detect. I have to reboot to solve the issue.

A friend of mine is also running Nobara and also comes across the same issue from time to time. It happened again for me today.

While I like Linux, I would love to stop using Windows and make Linux my main OS… I just cannot. Loads of my games and apps do not work in Linux as well as a lot of hardware control software. It took me ages just to get some software to control my GPU fans and I am unable to control my PC fans. From what I understand my motherboard has no Linux support, I cannot see a single sensor in any software I try. I eventually manually set up fan curves in BIOS.

I definitely does not just work for sure.

Adding my Manjaro experience, not good.

I tried it 3 times, fresh installs but it locks up my PC. If my screens turn off after a set amount of time I cannot wake up my PC. I turned off any sleep/standby/hibernate modes, only the screens turn off. If I head out for lunch and come back, the only way to get back in is to hard reboot.

I thought it was just me, I thought something wrong was going on in my Windows installation.

EA app is also dead in the water for me, my library is not loading. It knows I have 4 games installed but all the names and icons are blank.

Can’t even launch the games directly from their own exe.

All I see is *******

This happened at my first job.

While walking past an office I got called in, the headmaster’s secretary and the music teacher were struggling and told me the flash drive they had does not work.

So I take a look and pull the flash drive out of the Ethernet port and plugged it into a USB port and told them they need to plug it into the correct port.

The look on their faces.

But then I admitted to them that I had never seen this happen before and that I didn’t know that the Ethernet port was the right width to take a flash drive.

I mentioned this can be done on a Discord server I am on and nobody would believe me so I just told them to give it a try. They probably think I was trolling to this day.

I come from a country with school uniforms and I hated it.

Felt more like a way to control us and/or it was all about the schoool’s image.

Our hair had to follow certain rules, short, no colour, no gel.

It gets a bit worse.

This happened in November I believe, the footage was only recently released.

They had the guy handcuffed and in the back of their patrol car, officer Doofus mistook the sound of an acorn hitting the roof of his car for a gunshot. He then did a few Dark Souls rolls while screaming shots were fired and emptied his mag into the back of his own car where the suspect was being held.

He screamed that he was shot and scrambled for cover, crawling in the street while screaming and firing more I believe. His partner hearing this also opened fire on the car.

He then admitted he didn’t seem to be hit, maybe hit his vest and he felt weird.

His partner fully believed her partner had been hit the way he was acting.

Are these open or closed backed headphones?

The closed backed ones can create a lot of pressure and hurt your ears and possibly give you a headache.

My current headphones are open backed and way more comfortable compared to my last which were closed backed.

You can hear outside sounds easier with the open backed ones though, but for me that is worth it.

The IT manager at my previous job used this as a security feature.

People thought that because he was the IT manager he could just get another mouse, so they’d just take his when they left their mouse at home and never return it.

So he got a left handed vertical mouse even though he is right handed.

Nobody steals his mouse now because it is vertical and cannot be used in the right hand.
