TBF I looked at it recently-ish and it isn’t that bad. The shitty part is that it’s the default and a bit non-typical, but it’s still a fairly normal “select from these 3 options with the most profitable for us selected by default”.

Wow, what an amazing thing to be associated with, Microsoft.

They sell you a yearly subscription but with monthly payments, then require you to finish paying for the whole year if you cancel early. It is a bit discounted from the actual monthly plan and selected by default.

And they have shitty UX that doesn’t make this blatantly obvious, hence all the people who have issues with this.

Yep, gonna clone and delete Windows 11.

Why would you clone it first? Just nuke it if you don’t plan on using it. It has no value. You can always install it from scratch.

I’m being snarky, but the Linux world isn’t fully user friendly. If you’re unwilling to roll with the punches, it may not actually be for you.

I guess you’re an Arch user, but this is exactly the wrong thinking. Yes, stuff sometimes break for pretty much every distro, but that doesn’t mean we should dismiss people who want stuff to “just work” (which OP went above and beyond). We should absolutely strive to not break stuff, and if it does be humble and polite. Unless you literally want Linux to never become mainstream…

And btw I’ve been using Fedora for ages now, don’t have to follow anything, and when stuff breaks they are generally apologetic about it and try to fix stuff.

I don’t think that’s really a criticism, more like the reality of modern “journalism”…

Oh yeah absolutely the app purge is why I’m here. I absolutely despise their mobile app; but on desktop I don’t mind.

The information density isn’t that important to me on desktop since my screen is plenty large and scrolling (or collapsing) comments is easy.

Once upon a time Reddit used to be just a single subreddit. And it was fine. Lemmy already has enough users for separate subreddits to be actually kinda viable, even if they are not too active.

We’ll be fine.

The fact that Bluesky is almost a 1:1 copy (which includes the dumb stuff like post character limit) is precisely why I don’t like it.

I’m an OG user and other than technical issues (most of which have been figured it by now) I prefered both the original redesign and the newest one (though I did like the previous one more, I think).

If you get used to the fact that it’s just a bit different it’s perfectly fine and actually looks better. Especially since it has dark mode.

There are definitely issues with Lemmy but these users specifically seem to just be complaining for the sake of complaining. They want Reddit without the parts they currently don’t like, not realizing that they also need to get rid of the parts that eventually made Reddit go to the shitter - because otherwise it’d just repeat.

It would help of Lemmy had a simple migration option like Mastodon. Then, picking an instance wouldn’t be a big deal.

Yeah, it’s also that “it just works” now, and one undisputable (though unfortunately self-fulfilling) advantage of Windows is that chances are if you do encounter an issue you’re not the first one and someone has already solved it.

Being an early(ish) adopter of anything like that is always a bit of a risk and pain.

Slimes as in SlimeVR, open source trackers.

I think it all should work, but I’m afraid of just having to solve issues in general with stuff I don’t have to solve any issues with now.

Sure, the Index should work fine, but I’m not so sure about accessories, my Slimes, etc. Also on an nvidia GPU…

Really hope Valve does indeed release the new headset, because my Index is getting very dated.

Since arbitrations are charged a fee per customer someone figured out that you can do an effective “class action” against valve by having many people submit the same arbitration claim against valve and costing them so much through the arbitration fees that it it was almost impossible for them to cone out on top regardless of the outcome of the arbitration (iirc).

It’s not even that they’d have to pay for it; usually the filing party has to pay. Valve tried to be the good guys and while they did push for arbitration they said that they’d pay your arbitration fee for you, basically allowing you to file a legal complaint against them at their expense.

And then some fucking legal company figured out it’s a neat loophole on how to bleed them through arbitration where the point isn’t really the result but the costly process. Guess that’ll teach Valve to try to be better than others. :|

The animations are stuttery for me on … Fedora Linux.

I bet they’d be smooth as butter on Windows. x)

…and VR. VR is already finicky on its own, gaming on Linux can be finicky in different ways, and the issues multiply if you have two things like that.

The startup is absolutely more stressful for the motor. It’s a period of high current that also creates hotspots in the windings and such. It’s certainly not great for the motor.

Regular Fedora is more than stable enough for day to day use. I’d start there and then with use see if it’s a good fit.
